Helor

"You whelp. You hatchling. You squab. I am almost twenty years older than you. I was fighting Lamanites before you were a wriggling fetus in your mother's womb. The gods too two of my fingers in the battle of Teancum. [holds up disfigured hand] How dare you call me a coward? My desire is that I do not die like a fattened dog before the butcher's knife-needlessly, meaninglessly. All because of one man's vanity-our great and doting Commander Mormon."

- Helor to Joshua Plimpton

Helor is a minor antagonist in Chris Heimerdinger's 2014 novel ''Drums of Desolation. ''He is a soldier in the Jaguar division of the Nephite army and a member of the Wolf Witches.

Drums of Desolation
Helor is one of the 268 Wolf Witches that Joshua Plimpton, along with Marcos Alberto Sanchez and the Nephites that haven't rebelled, gather to have executed. Helor is designated to speak for the group. He tells Joshua that he swore an oath to fight for Mormon, and that he will not fight for Joshua. Joshua insists that it is his duty to fight in the upcoming battle against the Lamanites, but Helor says he blames him for their imminent destruction.

Helor goes on to say that, if Joshua lets him and the Wolf Witches go, they will take refuge in the southern mountains and continue to wage war on the Lamanites. Joshua asks Helor just how many people he's murdered, much to his anger. He rubs in that their enemies are murderers as well, and that he sees Joshua as a tyrant. Joshua, exasperated, asks the assembled crowd if they will continue to follow the lies of Helor and the Wolf Witches. When only seven men step forward, Helor tells Joshua that he has a family at Cumorah. He goes on to say that if Joshua promises that they will live, he will swear the oath of loyalty to him. Joshua refuses his terms, and Helor walks away. Though it pains him, Joshua kills Helor and orders his men to execute the rest of the Wolf Witches.
