Bio
Helba is the practical leader of the Bumblebrashers and one of the party’s earliest durable allies around Breachill and Citadel Altaerein. She first appears during the Citadel reclamation phase, where contact with her goblin crew helped stabilize the area and reduce local friction.
Her value is straightforward: she represents a real community node, not just a one-scene helper. When the Regulators needed local cooperation, vault pressure relief, and grounded support around Altaerein, Helba and her people were part of what made that sustainable.
Relationship to the Regulators
A cooperative contact tied to breachill/citadel ally; best treated as part of the party’s durable support web rather than a one-scene extra.
