Biography
A blonde French peasant girl who witnessed her parents' deaths, Hélène hoped to find Jean, her last remaining relative and uncle. She traveled to Calais to find a new life with him. Much to her dismay, Jean sold her to the Middle Man when she was a teenager.
She was captured inside the Middle Man's carriage on 7 February 1788 and witnessed the kidnapping of the Templar Élise de la Serre. Too afraid to fight back, Hélène could not help the struggling girl and only managed to watch the thugs. Fortunately for them, a drunk ship captain, Byron Jackson, discovered the crime in progress and fought off the thugs with Élise's fallen sword. The Middle Man shook the reins, attempting to escape with Hélène inside. However, at the last moment, Élise sprinted after them and managed to grab Helene's outstretched hand, dragging her out of the carriage.
Grateful to her savior, Hélène decided to serve Élise as her handmaiden, even against the latter's persuasion for her to return to her people. The trio sailed with Byron's ship heading towards England. Unaware of proper etiquette and manners, Byron told Élise to teach Hélène the ways of a proper handmaiden.
The following day, Hélène and Élise bid Byron farewell while arriving at the beach of Dover. Hélène discarded her pauper dress and changed into Élise's breeches and waistcoat to look presentable for the Carrolls, a British Templar family which her mistress planned to visit. While Élise spoke to May Carroll, Hélène braved the house's below-stairs life and found their servants more arrogant than their aristocrats masters.
During their stay with the Carrolls, Élise taught Hélène how to read and speak English. The both of them were asked to infiltrate Jennifer Scott's home as maidservants to retrieve Haytham Kenway's journal, which Hélène took bravely even after knowing the risks. When Jennifer unveiled their identities, both of them were threatened but Jennifer eventually let them go with the letters.
When Élise realized that the Carrolls were their enemies, she sent Hélène back to Dover for her safety. Meeting again on 10 April 1788, Hélène helped bandage Élise's mentor Frederick Weatherall's gun wound. The trio stayed at Maison Royale's headmistress Madame Levene's home, where Élise apologized for the dangers she had given to her handmaiden. Hélène replied that she would forever be indebted to Élise, knowing that her fate with the Middle Man would be unfortunate if she had not been saved.
Hélène stayed as Jacques' helper and eventually developed feelings for him in the Maison Royale as Élise continued her education. During Élise's hunt for justice, the lovers continued to aid her with Weatherall and eventually got married.
On September 1794, they received letters from Madame Levene that their mistress was killed and from Élise herself, saying that Arno Dorian will pay a visit to collect her belongings and letters. When Arno arrived, they encountered Bernard Ruddock who grabbed Hélène and threatened to take her to the Carrolls due to her bounty. Fortunately, Weatherall and Arno were ready for him and managed to kill him.
Hélène and Jacques offered Arno to live with them and stay in Élise's bedchambers, which Arno accepted, much to his gratitude.
