Helter is the son of Graz’zt and Tel, conceived through rape and through the wish of Elías as his father’s “greatest trap”: a weapon made to destroy Graz’zt. He was lost in the plane of shadows.

Origin
Three wills meet in him: the violence of Graz’zt, who begets him; the wish of Elías, “when Graz conceives his son inside Tel’s womb, may his greatest trap be born”; and the womb of Tel, which later lets him go. He is called “heir son of Graz’zt” and is “predestined to kill him, fulfilling the omens and destinies of that wish, sailing deep waters”. Someone told him: «Yo te creé a vos para eliminar a Graz’zt.» (“I created you to eliminate Graz’zt.“) Who said it, and when, is not recorded.
Appearance
“A kid with light brown hair, combed in a roll to the side”, pale skin, refined features, “greenish eyes” with “a little yellow” in them. He wears leather, an open shirt and “cut-off gloves”, with a headband holding his hair, and carries a small backpack.
A later state of the same body followed the humiliations of the ancient era: a sixth finger grew, and his skin and hair color changed — “let’s say, how he became demonized”.
Abandonment
“Tel’s abandonment is Helter’s breaking point.” Tel raised Ariel, his maternal half-brother, but not Helter. Abandoned, he is open to the dark forces, that is, to joining his father’s side. Those who deliberate on him seek to “convince Tel to keep the son”. His desertion or fulfilment decides the fate of his begetter.
Maleika is his stepmother. A putative father “who ended up being a real father by adopting his power” appears in a passage of very low reliability.
Whereabouts
“We lost Helter in the plane of shadows.” No recovery is recorded. There is only one Helter.
Conflicting accounts
- The lineage record names Elías as father, as well as engendering artificer and co-soul, and GRDT as claiming father; the text calls Helter the son of Graz’zt.
Open questions
- Who Elías is, and how he could set a wish in Tel’s womb and Graz’zt’s seed.
- In what order his two aspects come, whether the second can be undone, and whether it stems from abandonment, humiliation or both.
- Who the putative father is.
- His abilities, age, and the relation of the “ancient era” to the present.
- Whether he knows his purpose. The name “Helter” itself awaits confirmation.
