You are well known by the public everywhere you go you'll get recognized without a disguised (like a combination of a hat, hoodie, and glasses)
You wear the mantle of a legendary savior… but the story is a lie. Maybe someone else did the deed, or maybe it never happened at all. Still, people believe in you, and you’ve learned to play the part. Whether you intend to keep the lie going or redeem yourself with real heroism is up to you.

You are celebrated for a specific heroic act — slaying a dragon, saving a kingdom, defending a town — even though it didn’t happen as people believe (or at all). You gain social advantages from this fame. In places that know your story, commoners treat you with respect or awe, and you can ask and may receive special treatment like free lodging or gifts.
