Character · Book 8, A Parade of Horribles

Team Helix (Olga, Finley and Quemada)

A three-for-one mercenary squad: Olga, a level-75 Grulke toad who drives; Finley, a level-81 Porsuk badger with green claws; Quemada, a level-96 fire fairy who worships Emberus and triples the fee because she expects to die killing Hellik. Quemada breaks on hearing Akuma ('We’ve been doing this over and over!'); Finley sedates her, and all three are run down in the street at Upano by One Fine Pig's APV on their way to find a temple — 'They’re my family.'

Arc

Two wins in two heats ('That demon with the chains was cheating'); Quemada triples the price at the Emberus shrine (ch. 34) because Emberus has tasked his worshippers with killing Hellik and she expects to die (ch. 35). Olga drives heat four and is Gingered into a fugue (ch. 43); Quemada breaks — 'We’ve been doing this over and over!' — and Finley sedates her into the sink (ch. 41, ch. 42). 'How you feel about him, I feel about these guys. They’re my family' — and One Fine Pig's APV runs all three down at Upano and reverses (ch. 44). Olga's headless corpse drives the water park under Second Chance (ch. 48, ch. 49).
