- Not to be confused with Helena.
Hellena was the Queen of Lilmoth, wife of Emperor Magnus Septim, and mother of Emperor Pelagius Septim III. Sometime before 3E 109, she became ruler of the kingdom of Lilmoth following the execution of the Argonian priest-king and represented Imperial interests in Black Marsh.[1] In Waughin Jarth's series The Wolf Queen, she is described as a "diplomat by nature" and able to "recognize and confront adversity" as the Cyrodilic ruler of an Argonian kingdom.[2]
The Daedric Prince Sheogorath described Hellena as "unique," but "fairly average for a Septim," and claimed that she either "wielded fear like a cleaver" or that she would "wield a cleaver and make people afraid." Sheogorath attributes her son's paranoia to her, saying that "Pelagius learned at a very early age that danger could come from anywhere."[3]
Trivia[]
- Jarth's The Wolf Queen, Book VII claims that Hellena's son Pelagius III was born in 3E 125,[4] but Tsathenes' The Madness of Pelagius claims that he was born six years earlier in 3E 119.[5]
