**Second in Command.** As long as Hvitserk is within 60 feet, Helga has advantage on saving throws against being frightened. **Vigilant Eye.** Helga cannot be surprised while she is conscious and is always aware of the movements of her crew. **Evasion.** If Helga is subjected to an effect that allows her to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, she instead takes no damage if she succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if she fails.

Actions

- Multiattack.** Helga makes two melee attacks.
**"Whisper of Shadows" Dagger (Magic).** Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
**Handaxe.** Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.

Reactions

- Uncanny Dodge.** When an attacker that Helga can see hits her with an attack, she can use her reaction to halve the attack's damage against her.

Roleplaying Notes

Helga is stern and economical with her words, but her actions always show fierce loyalty. She assesses every situation and person quickly, trusting her gut instinct. She speaks to the crew with clipped, direct commands and never wastes a movement.

Additional Info

Appearance Helga is as sharp as the wind that whips her short braid around her face. Her eyes, like chips of obsidian, miss nothing, scanning the horizon and her crew with equal vigilance.
Voice/Mannerisms Stern, clipped, and direct. She speaks with a low growl and rarely smiles.
Bond Fierce loyalty to Hvitserk and the crew, forged in shared storms and hard-won victories.
Ideal Discipline. A well-ordered ship is a ship that survives.
Flaw Mistrustful of outsiders; assumes all non-crew are a threat to her captain.
Info Trusted partner and enforcer of Captain Hvitserk.
Equipment Leather Armor, "Whisper of Shadows" Dagger, two Handaxes, a spyglass, a logbook.
