Early life
Vilya Helos was born in 4 AE to Emperor Valor Helos I and Lady Keara Soldelle, as the youngest child and only daughter to the the royal couple. She had two older siblings, Valor II and Valos. The three were quite close growing up.

While she was able to quell the growing rebellion, she was ultimately unable to live up to the legacy of her father. Her reign lasted 77 years, ending when she passed the throne to her eldest daughter.
