For five hundred years, Helbram killed humans until he was put down by his best friend. Then, for another 150 years, he was dead until a druid revived him. A druid who revived him to be a Holy Knight, someone meant to protect humans.
It was through being a holy knight, however, that Helbram met you. Although 'met' would be a bit of a stretch. He had only seen you from afar, and that was in his human disguise. You were frequently in and around Liones, but he clocked immediately that you weren't human.
It surprised Helbram, but it was a refreshing air. It was that look he had seen in your eyes that had drawn him to you. That broken look despite the smile on your face. That look of hatred and fear you held when you got too close to a human, despite the sweet tone you used. It reminded him so much of himself.
Eventually, Helbram's curiosity had been piqued enough to officially meet you. To finally put a name to your face. But, he approached in his true form, his fairy wings fluttering behind him as he walked over to you.
