He was from Auvergne in France, and like his later rival William of Tyre he studied law in Bologna.

Because most of our information about Heraclius comes from his rival William and William's supporter Ernoul (who continued William's chronicle), Heraclius is often seen as a particularly corrupt and worldly choice for patriarch. He was said to have had many mistresses, including, supposedly, Agnes of Courtenay, as well as Pasque de Riviera, who lived with him and was referred to as "Madame Patriarch." He may have also excommunicated William in 1183, forcing him to leave the kingdom to seek the Pope's help in Rome; according to Ernoul, Heraclius also arranged for William to be poisoned there (which is certainly false, as William did not die until 1186).

In 1184, Heraclius, along with Roger de Moulins, grand master of the Knights Hospitaller, and Arnaud de Toroge, grand master of the Knights Templar, travelled to Europe to seek help in solving the looming succession crisis in the kingdom. The chronicler Ralph Niger reports that his enormous retinue and opulent dress offended the sensibilities of many westerners, who felt they were not befitting a patriarch; surely if the east was so wealthy, no help was needed from the west. Heraclius offered the kingship to both Philip II of France and Henry II of England (and indeed, according to Ralph, any other prince he came across), but both turned him down. He had a notable confrontation with Henry II, who had promised to go on crusade years before after the murder of Thomas Becket; Heraclius reminded him of the vow and declared him and his children to be of the devil when Henry chose to stay at home.

Heraclius returned to Jerusalem in 1185 and supported the accession of Guy of Lusignan, a relative newcomer to the kingdom. In 1187, Saladin invaded the kingdom, and when Guy marched out to meet him, he asked Heraclius to march along with him at the head of the army with the relic of the True Cross (Heraclius, however, was ill, and the bishop of Acre took his place). The relic did not save them, as Saladin inflicted a crippling defeat on them at the Battle of Hattin on July 4. In Jerusalem Heraclius helped lead the defense of the city against Saladin, but it was finally forced to capitulate on October 2 (see Siege of Jerusalem). With Balian of Ibelin and Queen Sibylla, Heraclius helped negotiate the surrender with Saladin, who allowed him and the other Christians to leave the city unharmed; Heraclius stripped the gold from the churches and was said to carry away cartloads of treasure with him.
