Background
Her mother named Helena after Mount St. Helens. The deadliest volcanic eruption happened there in 1980, and Helena’s mother survived, and oddly enough, her daughter turned out to be a bit of a volcano herself. Helena took competition seriously, and even as a child, she hiked all around her native state of Washington. She spent some time on the sea as well, for her father captained a ship. When she turned eighteen, she signed up to be a police officer, and through a series of events, eventually ended up as a security guard as CereTechnologies.
She and Howard Wyatt got along very well being two peas in a pod, and in truth, Helena found him handsome. She often daydreamed about becoming Mrs. Wyatt someday and hiking with a family. She had worked for CereTech many years before the faithful day that Emily Harbrook ended up there- only to fall victim to the scheme Cerebrum hatched.
Transformation
Helena gets converted by a Cereborged Emily Harbrook. Her infatuation for Howard was changed to cause her to despise him. She could be the one to stop Howard Wyatt.

Background
The once fiery tempered Helena Corbin fought almost as well as Howard Wyatt when Cerebrum launched its attack. She managed to round up several scientists and was working her way towards the commons area when a Cereborged Emily Harbrook and a Cereborged Karloff stumbled upon her. Cerebrum saw Helena as a possible chance to kill or convert Howard Wyatt before the Texan could interrupt the A.I.’s plans. True to her nature, Helena refused to flee and stood her ground, first killing Karloff, and then trying to stand against Emily.
In the end, Helena succumbed to cereborg nanites and her mind, once loyal and loving towards Howard, became reprogrammed to despise him. Cerebrum calculated that since Helena appeared to be a fast, strong, and resilient as Howard, if it could convert her into a cereborg, upgrading her, then she would be superior to Howard in every way- and it turned out to be true. In a fair fight, Howard would have lost, but during her attack, she made a fatal calculation. She focused on Howard to such a degree that when he dodged one of her blows, the conversion rod she held in her hand, passed into an electrical box. The resulting power fried her circuits and killed Helena on the spot.
