Summary

Lost Kingdoms

Helena, known as Gloria in Japan, is a major villain in Lost Kingdoms. Like Katia, she is a Runestone master. Using a stone stolen from Bhashea, she leads an army of monsters under the cover of the Black Fog, in an attempt to unite the Runestones of the Five Kingdoms under her command.

During the later portion of the game, Helena will challenge Katia to a duel in the Coliseum. Although Helena is noticeably more powerful compared to herself when in Castle Grayl, she is no match for Katia. Once Katia defeats Helena, Helena reveals to Katia that her intent was to take her Runestone in an attempt to become powerful enough to save her own Kingdom, as she herself is also a princess.
