The player considered most heroic takes the first turn.
Rule details
The manual gives no scoring system for deciding who is most heroic.
This selects the first active player. Choosing a character and carrying out the setup instructions are separate steps.
The first game's recommended character selection does not assign the opening turn to a particular hero.
If there’s a tie
The cited starting-player instruction does not specify a tie-break. We don’t infer one.
