Helgenish is an antagonist in Octopath Traveler. He appears in Primrose's first chapter.
What Makes Him A Hate Sink?[]
- He treats women as they are objects. While he acts affectionate towards Primrose, he decides to have her killed when she refuses to be his servant any longer.
- Furthermore, Primrose only puts up with him because she knows that he has connections with the Crows and that she could potentially find one of her father's killers if she works for him.
- If his dancers displease him, he will have them savagely beaten and leave them to die.
- Not even dancers who please him are completely safe, as Helgenish has been known to sell dancers to the Crows to make extra money.
- When he discovers that Primrose has decided to leave him, he has Yusufa beaten to find out her whereabouts before deciding to kill her in front of Primrose.
- He requests that Primrose give him one final dance when he defeats him, only to attempt to backstab her when her back is turned.
Trivia[]
- Though a starter villain, Helgenish stands out as one of the vilest characters to appear in both Octopath Traveler and its sequel.
- Unsurprisingly, he ends up being one of the antagonists in Octopath Traveler to die.
- He is the only boss in Primrose's story not to be a member of the Crows. He is an associate of theirs however.
