Helga Aythana

A powerful spellcaster and a raving pyromaniac. Helga Aythana was an advisor the Asinar Canith, the head of House Canith when first met by the Hindenburg Ground Crew. 
Despite being a powerful caster, Helga was killed and replaced by a rakshasa from the Lords of Dust, shortly before the War Council of Awbor. 
== History ==
Born into a wealthy gnomish family within the dwarven kingdom beneath the Vonkrul Mountains; Helga wanted for nothing while growing up. 
However this life of luxury quickly became increasingly dull - all the dinner parties and banquets couldn't conjure up the excitement Helga craved. 
This all changed when she found a forgotten tome in the palace library however; this tome told of an ancient entity, Asmodeus, who could grant powers to those who bargained with him. Little realising that Asmodeus was an Archduke of Hell, Helga invoked the ancient text and summoned forth an envoy of the devil. 
She offered up her soul and that of her entire family, in return for real power. 
The next day she awoke to the terrible news that her family had been killed; a freak earthquake has destroyed most of the family home killing them, and that she was lucky to be alive. She also realised that she now had power, true power; that of a warlock. 
She fed the Vonkrul Mountains and quickly turned to life as a mercenary, before falling in with an osteomancer by the name of Lucian Dermanche. He was an advisor to House Canith, and extended an invitation to Helga to work for them too. 
While advising House Canith, Helga was able to finally flex that power she had been craving. She was put in charge of dealing with mutineers and traitors, which she enjoyed showing the true extent of her warlock powers. 
Sadly for Helga, this was brought to an abrupt end when a rakshasa working for the Lords of Dust, slit her throat while she slept and impersonated her to gain access to the War Council of Awbor.
