Helati de-Orilg (? - ? PC) was the sister of Hecariverani de-Orilg and later, mate of Kaziganthi de-Orilg whom they had two children with, twins Kyris de-Orilg and Sekra de-Orilg.
Part of a minotaur group, with her brother Hecar, assigned to apprehend Kaz and return him to Nethosak for trial. The two siblings were considered the "weak link" due to their attitudes of applying sensibility with racial traits of honor. When her brother was roused to anger, being accused of putting sympathy over honor, Helati managed to restrain Hecar from what would've most likely been an early death at the hands of their superior. The minotaurs captured Kaz near a crude village, where Helati pointed out that a cleric of Mishakal was performing service, against the words of her companions thinking such company to Kaz was weak and pathetic. She later fed Kaz, revealing herself and Hecar as former students of Kaz when he was a tutor in minotaur schooling, even amusedly thinking that Kaz picked on them because they were so young. Kaz shortly escaped after the same cleric of Mishakal put the minotaurs to sleep. Helati later arrived with the company at Vingaard Keep to demand Kaz's surrender. After fierce arguing over what Kaz did and matters of minotaur honor, Helati refused to take part. As Kaz fought the leader Scurn de-Orilg, Helati killed the Ogre captain, who tried to knife Kaz in the back during the combat. With Kaz's honor appeased, Helati decided to accompany him in his travels as he prepared to travel south.
