As for the Pit Lords, according to some information, they might turn out to be champions.
C_h_u_c_k_l_e_s, as I understand, is one of the insiders.
As for Arachne, it seems that even on Facebook or somewhere else, they confirmed that she is a champion, but I don't remember where exactly.
Yes, he is one of the insiders, LaBoule confirmed it. Yes, Erwan (producer) confirmed it somewhere, I think on the official forum.

And who is an insider, and can we trust him :o?
Maybe Arachne. I would just like to see a sphinx in the role of champion.
I want Arachne to be the champion; after all, she is the daughter of the embodiment of Ashtar and, by virtue of that, should be higher than Lamassu.

It's more likely that you can trust them than not. But personally, I still have doubts :)

My doubts have increased that the Pit Lords are champions; here is their description during the development of Might and Magic V.
"The most skilled fighters in the Inferno army. They are not only physically strong but are also capable of casting destructive spells, weakening the enemy and even destroying all life in an entire area of the battlefield. They are good at both defense and attack. Therefore, these warriors are the foundation of any successful strategy."
