Probably for the best as what would the heir background have to do after leaving that second island?
It is almost like you would need to develop a story or something for the heir background in this narrative game.
Given I've seen games that spun a deep story about characters whose origin is "Farmer" without ever dropping that detail...
The ONLY thing you know about that background is that it, eventually, gets a mansion if you play that far. There can be an infinite number of details such as perhaps a dark secret within the family, rival families, maybe they are running out of money, dark curses, vampires, anything; all that could pop up as you go along or delve deeper into the plot.
I personally still like the Heir origin and hope it makes a return.
