Helm, the Watcher

My vigilance is eternal.
-Helm

Helm is the epitome of the watcher, the guard, the guardian, and has in years past been greatly venerated by those who need to remain watchful for evil at their doorsteps. He has long been seen as a cold and focused deity who impartially took the role of defender and sometimes also enforcer.
Helm is difficult to understand and is often viewed as emotionless, heartless, and devoted only to his duty or goal. While he is devoted to the point of obsession, he is not heartless, but merely a stern disciplinarian. He is fond of children and has been known to be most uncharacteristically lenient (for Helm) when dealing with small infractions by them or on their behalf.

Depiction

Helm is depicted as a stern and disciplined god who is wholly dedicated to his duty of protecting the innocent and upholding the law. He is often depicted as wearing a full suit of armor with a prominent helm that obscures his face. This helmet has only small eye slits and is said to be impervious to all forms of attack.
His holy symbol is that of an eye on a piece of armor, stating that he is a watchful defender.
