Birth

In the holy chronicles so is his father listed as the king Algrid that needed to fight off a big demon that had escaped into the world and Algrid needed to consult with the dead demon slayer Usvil. In return for allowing Usvil to enter the dark domains of Mörkerheim so would he need to spend the night with Helia. After nine months had passed so did she give birth to a young man that under the training of Rasmer and Bel grew up to be a mighty warrior in his own right.

Helmer in the sagas

In the holy chronicles so are Helmer described as a cold warrior with little interests but fighting and hunting down demons. He does not do much in the holy chronicles but he is mentioned in several of them as "Unsmiling Helmer" or "Helmer the hunter".

However so is it said that he have walked over most of Mörkerheim and he has seen the darkest caverns of that horrid place and that he have even stood outside of the gates that holds the eight sleeping Elderväsen and dead Ark-irk captive while they sleep and wait for the end times. Something which only Rasmer have done otherwise.
