NPC:Vladimir Von Helson

From: The Gaiapedia, the community encyclopedia about Gaia Online

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 balcont. Simultaniously, 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.
