Helga is a minor but memorable Obsidian figure in the Red Rising Saga, first introduced through Pax au Telemanus’s childhood recollections in Red Rising. Though her presence is limited to a single book, her legacy endures as a symbol of raw Obsidian strength and ferocity, remembered fondly by Pax as a formative influence. Her absence in later volumes underscores the fragility of even the most imposing Obsidian lives within the brutal hierarchy of the Society.
