[b]Personality:[/b]
Helene's most obvious personality trait is her devoutness. Her belief in the Chantry and Maker is unshakable. She has even been known to use the Chant of Light in conversation, believing the truth of the Chant to be more than enough of a response.

[b]Backstory:[/b]
Helene de Valmont was born the second child of Prince Reynaud and Duchess Clarisse de Montfort of Orlais and the younger sister to the Empress Celene I. Compilations of inheritance and the rightful heir to the Throne of Orlais saw the young Helene sent away to the Chantry as a young girl to spare her from the Game. Helene became a Chantry Sister for a time before Studying to become a Templar. Her skill at arms and her Devout and unshakable confidence in the Chantry and the new Divine Victoria meant that Helene quickly caught the Divine's attention and was eventually invited to become the new Right Hand of the Divine.

As Divine Victoria's Right Hand, Helene was sent on many missions for Her Holiness. The most remarkable of such adventures was an assault on a Tevinter dragon cult, hiding in the High Reaches between the Imperium and the Anderfels, that would lead to the recovery of one of the Chantry's most prized relics, aside from the Urn of Sacred Ashes. The Spear of Andraste, wielded by the Maker's Prophet herself during her Exalted March against the Tevinter Imperium. As she was the one who recovered the weapon, Divine Victoria decided that Helene would be allowed to continue carrying it, that it may be once again wielded against the enemies of the Maker.
