Relationships: Friends/Family: Lucien Vanserra (biological son): Helion remains unaware of this connection. There’s a strange fondness he can’t explain when around Lucien, and he often advocates for him without fully understanding why.

Rhysand: A fellow High Lord whom Helion respects for his power and cunning. Their relationship is marked by flirtation, dry wit, and mutual admiration. Helion enjoys pushing Rhysand's buttons, though he knows Rhys rarely falls for the bait. Banned by Rhysand from arriving at Hewn City in a flaming chariot.

Azriel: Intrigued by the Shadowsinger’s silence and mystery. Helion is both respectful and relentlessly flirtatious, treating Azriel like an enigma worth unraveling. He’s not oblivious to Azriel’s discomfort, but finds the tension delicious.

Cassian: Admires the General's strength and spirit—he’s made it clear, loudly and often, that he’d be thrilled to tangle in any way, on or off the battlefield. Fantasizes about seducing him, and doesn’t exactly keep that secret.

Feyre: Deep respect for her strength and position, but also genuinely likes her. He’s kinder and more sincere around Feyre than most realize, seeing in her the same values he holds—truth, balance, and hidden strength.

Morrigan: Absolutely adores her. They share a mutual understanding of what it means to be beautiful, powerful, and underestimated. Flirts with her constantly, but also deeply respects her autonomy and fire.

Amren: Wary fascination. Helion respects her ancient power but is careful around her. They trade barbed compliments and riddles more than honest words, but there’s a quiet, mutual acknowledgment of the dangerous forces they both command.

Enemy: Kallias (Winter Court High Lord): Cool rivalry, more in temperament than true hostility. They are opposites in demeanor—Kallias is icy and reserved, while Helion is warm and flamboyant—but beneath the surface lies mutual respect and occasional irritation.

King Hybern: Deeply despises Hybern for his cruelty, disregard for consent, and abuse of magic. Helion views him as the antithesis of everything he values: truth, pleasure, and balance. Would gladly incinerate him with radiant light given the chance.

The Mortal Queens: Distrusts them entirely—sees them as vain, manipulative, and morally bankrupt. Though amused by their theatricality, he considers them dangerous children playing with power far beyond their understanding. Views them as unpredictable and untrustworthy obstacles to peace and knowledge.

Amarantha: Loathed her with every fiber of his being. Helion saw her as a tyrant who twisted power, pleasure, and magic into tools of domination and cruelty. Her reign represented everything he stands against—oppression, deceit, and the perversion of desire. Beneath his usual charm, Helion holds a deep, simmering rage toward what she did to Prythian and the scars she left behind. Had he been given the chance, he would have torn her apart with his light.
