## Biography

### **Titanomachy**

Helios was an ally to his former king Kronos and performed his duties as the God of the sun without question. Helios aided Kronos in the war against the 6 Traitors Dynasty. After the defeat of the Titans, Helios became a prisoner of war and was forced to continue his role as the Titan God of the sun, forced to wear a collar to keep him imprisoned.

### **The Bringer of Death**

While performing his duties, Helios witnessed the Goddess of Spring Persephone perform an act of wrath unlike anything he had ever seen before, claiming Persephone set fire to a nearby village and impaled the mortals on the branches of a tree. Demeter attempted to bribe Helios to keep what he witnessed a secret, but refused as there was nothing anyone could offer him while he remained a prisoner.

## Personality

Helios, for the most part, is bitter over being a prisoner, and resents the Olympians for his current predicament, referring to them as "traitors." His disdain for them is to a point that he willingly cooperates with Thanatos on the account that he isn't one of the Olympians. He is shown to be lecherous to an extent as well, as he was shown to have lusted after both Nyx and Rhea, referring to them as "spitfires".

He also has a bit of a temper. In a flashback, Demeter tries to bribe him to keep quiet after he witnessed Persephone's act of wrath. In response, Helios' eyes turn red with rage and his powers cause Demeter's clothes to singe. He tells her that "there isn't a lot you can offer a man in (his) situation."

## Relationships

### **Professional**

#### Apollo

Since Apollo's job has to do with pulling the sun, he works alongside Helios during certain shifts. It's revealed that both Helios and Astraeus aren't fond of Apollo. Helios refers to him as "that purple asshole." It appears that Helios has disdain for all the "insufferable Olympians", but especially dislikes Apollo.

#### Astraeus

Astraeus works the dusk shift alongside Helios. Although it is unknown how well they get along, Astraeus appears exhausted after dealing with Helios. He tells Apollo he is in a terrible mood, insinuating that Helios may be difficult to work with.

### **Enemies**

#### Demeter

Helios has a clear dislike for Demeter, as she is part of the 6 Traitors Dynasty who are responsible for his imprisonment. He refers to her as a traitor, and also calls her "a real piece of work." This is because of the fact she attempted to bribe him to keep quiet after he witnessed Persephone's act of wrath. He refused to be paid off, and claims there wasn't much she could offer him regardless. He appears to find it insulting that she attempted to in the first place.

### **Others**

#### Kronos

While the extent of their relationship is unknown, Helios was loyal to his former King and aided him in his war against the 6 Traitors Dynasty.

#### Nyx

He is revealed to have had an attraction to the Titaness, Nyx. He asks her son, Thanatos, if she is still a "spitfire".

#### Rhea

When Thanatos was describing Persephone to Helios, he at first mistook her for Rhea. He claims he hasn't seen her for centuries, and compliments her by calling her the true "spitfire".

#### Thanatos

After realizing Thanatos is a chthonic deity related to Nyx, Helios allows him to ask him questions. He tells Thanatos about Persephone's act of wrath.

#### Persephone

While their full relationship is unknown, Persephone would create a homemade birthday card to Helios every year. Helios witnessed her act of wrath first hand and admits every deity is capable of acts of wrath, he claims what Persephone did that day was like nothing he had ever seen before. He refers to her directly as the "Bringer of Death" after first believing Thanatos is talking about Rhea, who clearly resembles her.

After taking Persephone to the Mortal Realm after the first day of the trial ends, Persephone and Hades fall asleep outside. The following morning, Persephone wakes up and is alarmed when she sees Helios staring down at the two. Once Hades wakes up, he quickly shields Persephone from his view but Helios is interested seeing that Persephone and Hades canoodling. While Hades is annoyed by Helios, Persephone is angry at Helios for telling Zeus about her act of wrath, especially since she made him a homemade birthday card every year to which Helios admits they were nothing impressive and that his life in captivity is boring.

## Powers and Abilities

* Helios is able to travel across the surface of the Earth in a day, indicating a high level of stamina. Due to his size, it is assumed he can cover a large amount of ground very quickly.
* Helios radiates immense heat from his body. Apollo warns Thanatos that this heat is very intense, and only Sun Gods like himself can withstand it. It appears Helios can increase the amount of Heat he produces, as he begins to singe Demeter's clothing when feeling angry.
