Helga

Gravefrost Edge

Stats

This black claymore radiates a killing chill cold enough to freeze life itself. Whenever the death knight draws it, the surrounding air turns into a frostbitten wasteland in an instant. Once, this claymore belonged to a female knight who swore loyalty to her kingdom. She vowed to protect the king and the people behind her. But in that final battle, even though she fought to her very last breath, she still failed to protect anyone or anything. The hatred born from that failure did not merely bring the knight back into the world as an undead. It also became a curse that clung to the claymore forever. Yet as the long years gradually wash away the anger she carried in life, this claymore of despair, once witness to the kingdom's downfall, comes to serve a far more practical purpose for the death knight now. On hot summer days, it works exceptionally well as a cooling device.

Helga was once a valiant knight who gave her life to protect her country. The resentment she carried in her final moments coalesced into a powerful curse, bringing her back as an undead. She now wanders the ruins of her fallen homeland, attacking anyone who dares approach. Rumor has it that anyone who manages to defeat her will earn her approval and become her lord. As time passed, Helga's lingering obsession faded away. At some point, left with nothing but boredom, she simply started doing whatever she pleased. These days, she spends her time scaring passersby with her fearsome look, beating down challengers and looting their gear, and casually swearing oaths she never plans to keep. Living by the three principles of a death knight—dishonest, ruthless, and irresponsible—Helga has become a figure despised by upright knights, even earning the title "The Wicked Blade of the Fallen Kingdom" from her victims. "Watching challengers run for their lives is the best way to pass the time. Don't you think so?"
