Personality
Helrik is a very arogant person, Helrik tends to be kind to women, mainly becuase he was taugth so by his father. Helrik sees Stormwinds people as the real Alliance, and occasionally speak well of the dwarfs as well. When he comes into arguements about this he will tend to use an example of what Stormwind has achived, mainly of war.

Helrik rarely, if never gets afraid. His nerves has been steeled over the years. As with his emotions, he rarely show signs of happiness, occasionally he will smile or laugh. Helrik will rarely become angry, if and if first does he will respond with excessive violence, and misuse of his ability to use the light as a harmful force.

Helrik also has a rather obvious hate toward Death Knights in general, not just becuase they are walking corpses. But the fact that they are all intelligent undeads capable of doing much damage, he see them as "walking time bombs", since he know from research that Forsakens will lose their mind eventually, and is certain Death Knights will as well.

Notable items
A list of notable items Helrik owns, and sometimes wears.
 * His Libram; He started to draw a libram on his free time, when he was aiding the Argent Dawn. When he came back to Stormwind, he contacted a skilled Dwarf in Ironforge, to forge peices of gold that should decorate the book. Later, when he had gotten some more monye again, he contacted an Arcane Mage, who magically sealed the book for everyone, but Helrik.
 * His Shoulder pads; When Helrik was about to start work on creating the Inquisition, Helrik contacted the same Dwarf that had helped creating his Libram. This time to forge some shoulder pads of fine dwarven quality. On Helriks armour this is the only part that is of steel, the rest leather and cloth.

Background
Helrik was born on a farm in Westfall, growing up in a very religious family, he became very religious at a young age. After his father left to serve the Argent Dawn, Helrik travelled to Stormwind, leaving the farm in his brother capable hands.

Being a religious person Helrik spent most of his time in the Cathedral. And at his free time studied the light in the vast collection of books the library contained.

At the age of twenty Helrik met Hegbert, a Paladin who had fought in the Plaugelands for many years. Helrik found great interest in Hegberts stories, stories about glorious battles against the undeads, they came along pretty well and before Hegbert were to leave the city, Helrik asked if he could become his mentor.

While travelling to the Plaguelands, helrik was taught how to weild a sword, how to maneuver in armour, but he did not learn what he wanted to learn to most, how to wield the light. He was so eager to learn, Hegbert could tell without even asking. But still didn't learn Helrik.

After many months fighting beside the Argent Dawn against the undead horde, Helrik was wounded by a ghoul. Having broken his arm and having a major flesh wound to his chest, he was sent back to Stormwind, all against his will.

Helrik recovered from his injuries and returned to study at the Cathedral, finally managing to wield the light, a bit.

Many more months passed, and finally his mentor, Hegbert returned from the Plaugeland, and now promised he would teach Helrik how to Wield the Light. They went to Northshire Valley where they stayied for very long. While staying at the shire, Helrik got to become in love with a young farmer daugther. Often sneaking out from Northshire Valley to meet the girl by the river.

At the end of his training the girl he had fallen for, gave birth to a child, which she claimed Helrik was the father to. Hegbert was present when the girl told Helrik, this upset Hegbert a lot, and forced Helrik and the girl to send the child to his mother in Westfall.

Family Background
The Family Background of Helriks family isn't much, but there is one grim secret in the family.

When Helriks father, Tryl travelled to the Plaguelands to join the Argent Dawn, he was wounded in combat, and left behind by cowardly soliders. The soldiers reported Vanguard Tryl as lost in combat. Helrik recived a letter while he was studying at the Cathedral, about his father missing.

Many years later, after Helrik had finished his time training and a disciplined and strong paladin, his father returned to the farm he once had left. Unfortually Helrik was not there to welcome him, but it was not a welcoming sight his father was, according to his brother Magnus, he was plated his thick dark armour and had a massive broadsword in his hand. Helriks mother had gone outside to great the man, but was quickly shocked by the stat of the armoured mans skin. Pale as snow and eyes glowing of teal. Unable to move because of sher terror she was cut down without mercy.

His brother, Magnus took cover in the barn, baricading himself in, and armed with an rifle. He managed to hold his father of, surviving until he left.

Magnus personally ran all the way to Stormwind to find Helrik, to warn him what had happened, and that he recognized the person as their father. Being very religious, Helrik ment that his father was a dishonor to his familys name and that he had to get rid of him. Helrik swore to himself that he would find his father, and kill him, and to restore the familys honor.

Hegbert had travelled before Helrik could get his equipment ready, Hegbert were able to track him down somewhere in the Burning Steps, going into battle alone, Hegbert was outmatched, but managed to wound Tryl great enough that he was unable to travel far. Helrik found his dearest friend dead on the battlefield perhaps only an hour later, finding splinter of saronite metal on the battlefield, he knew that his father had been injured and he wouldn't have gotten far. As he caught up with Tryl, he unleashed his fury upon him, utterly annihilating him.
