Von Helsons

[Midoriwa]

Vladimir Von Helson, is the father of the Von Helson Sisters and Ian and Louie Von Helson.

He was first mentioned about, by Gambino during the Gaia Second Anniversary Ball in which he said, "Well, since the Isle of Gambino Insurance company was located in my mansion, it was destroyed along with my mansion. I really have nothing left... As for these Von Helson sisters... BAH!! I knew their father. Count Vladimir Von Helson was a great man. If he knew what his daughters were up to, he'd be rolling in his grave."

However, the events of the Halloween 2K7 plot set that statement to be uncannon to the storyline as Vladimir was alive and was the main antagonist.
Vladimir directed his son Louie Von Helson to assassinate Gambino, Edmund, and Ian. During Louie's efforts, Vladimir unleashed a swarm of vampire bats on a carnival, hence beginning the Gaian Vampire infection.

Vladimir's fate was sealed in MMVII, when he confronted Louie and Ian. As he raises a struggling Louie in the air, Zhivago took aim with at Louie with a sniper rifle from a balcony. Simultaneously, Edmund sat on another balcony taking aim at Zhivago with another rifle. Edmund's rifle contained a bullet filled with the vampire antidote.

Edmund shot Zhivago, causing Zhivago to misfire and kill Vladimir. With his dying breath, Vladimir implored Louie to carry on the Von Helson estate.

With Vladimir's death and Louie head of the Von Helson house, Vampires and Humans are coming to live in peace on Gaia.

Making their debut on February 17, 2005, Marie and Anna Corinne Von Helson were the hostesses of the The Second Gaian Anniversary Ball that took place a day later. Claiming to be the two most powerful women on Gaia, [1], their appearance coincided with the Von Helson Mansion appearing in Durem.
Throughout the Ball itself, the sisters made sporadic appearances to users and presented them with 'swank', in the form of the left and right halves of a V Pin which the Helsons bore on their breasts, as well as hats and balloons.

As the ball progressed, Gambino himself slipped in and began the discreet distribution of G Pins amongst the users as well. Eventually, the Von Helson sisters called him out and evicted him from their mansion, using the captured Gino as a hostage.

With the appearance of Gambino's Tower in Isle de Gambino, the sisters once again took action and appeared outside their Durem mansion, selling Anti-Gambino Picket Signs for 500g each.

In a climax of the Gambino vs. Von Helsons event, Gambino's Tower, built with donations from users, collapsed with Gambino's assassination, reaching across the map to fall squarely on the Von Helson Mansion, but this wasn't the end of the Sisters...


The Von Helson Sisters returned on July 10, 2007 apparently surviving the ordeal of their mansion being crushed by Gambino's tower. They asked for 500g donations, in return for a a Blood Drop Brooch. This is part of a Gaia quest, in which Edmund and the Sisters are building contributions towards unknown purposes.


On August 31, 2007, Cindy Donovinh announced that the sisters rebuilt their mansion. Later in a manga, Anna Corinne and Marie capture Gino and Liam at a nightclub. Liam and Gino Gambino were imprisoned in the dungeon of Von Helson Castle. Once again, Gino was being used as leverage against Gambino.

Vladimir ordered the sisters to kill Liam. Ultimately they failed after exposing his well toned body and subsequently being seduced by his advances.

Nothing further is known of their fate after Vladimir's death.
