Biography[]
Helmut watches Grindelwald arrive at the Ministry
In 1932 in Berlin, at the German Ministry, Helmut and several other Aurors attached to the German Ministry stood watch over a vast gathering of chanting supporters of the two Supreme Mugwump candidates: Liu Tao and Vicência Santos. At the arrival of the anti-Grindelwald movement, including Newt Scamander, Theseus Scamander, Eulalie Hicks and Jacob Kowalski, he was hailed and displayed a cordial façade to Theseus prior to the Tea Ceremony and permitted the group entrance. However, Helmut stunned Theseus with a silent spell to the back when he attempted to arrest Vinda Rosier and several other members of the Alliance at the Ministry, and, in German, ordered for him to be arrested and taken away to Erkstag.[1]
The next day, Newt, Jacob and Lally returned to the German Ministry and followed Helmut and another Auror to find out where Theseus had been taken, but Helmut blocked their path.
Later, Helmut, along with other German Aurors, attempted to capture Jacob and Lally, when they caused a disturbance during the Candidates' dinner at the German Ministry, but they escaped via Lally's Portkey book.
Helmut and other Grindelwald-serving Aurors attended the walk of the Qilin ceremony in Bhutan, where they planned to intercept Dumbledore's followers and retrieve Newt Scamander's suitcase, which contained a Qilin. After cornering Theseus and Lally, he and the other Aurors were overpowered with the magical contents of the duplicated suitcases, which prevented them from stopping Dumbledore's plan.[1]
