History
Son of Kong
At some point in his life, Helstrom became a fugitive to the Dutch government, and was forced to live on the run. Helstrom first met Carl Denham some time before the events of King Kong, and sold him the map of Skull Island. At some point, Helstrom ended up stranded in Dakang, where he befriended a Mr. Petersen. One night, after a drunken argument, Helstrom accidentally killed Petersen with a blow to the head, and knocked into a lamp which burned down his tent. The next day he was approached by Petersen's daughter Hilda, who knew he had killed her father. Helstrom denied it, and went to the local bar where he met Captain Englehorn, and tried to negotiate to join his merchant ship crew. There he learned that Englehorn was travelling with Carl Denham. Desperate to leave Dakang, Helstrom fabricated a mythical and legendary treasure of Skull Island, and landed a place in the crew. While aboard, Helstrom began to inform the crewmen of the grisly fate awaiting them on Skull Island in an attempt to mutiny the captain and seize the boat, but when the mutiny was successful and he assumed the role of captain he was promptly tossed overboard.
