Helen West is a baker and a minor character in Another Life in HITMAN™ 2.
About[]
Helen West is a sweet old lady and Janus' next door neighbor, who does him the favor of sewing his Ark Society robe.
Behavior[]
In conversations with Janus, Helen confesses it was a compound in one of her muffins that killed Frank Schmidt, the owner of the house for sale in the neighborhood.
It is possible Helen was engaged in an affair with Schmidt since she has a key to his bedroom in her basement.
Background[]
Helen has a history of interest in poison stretching as far back as her childhood when she experimented on her brother's pets.
This tendency continued into her college years when she began spiking boys' drinks at parties. There was an incident where a boy fell out a window and broke his back, briefly causing Helen to stop engaging in this behavior.
Although Helen expresses remorse when she confesses these acts to Janus, this is likely a cover story.
Basement[]
In her basement Helen is in the process of actively tweaking and changing the formula. She privately comments to herself that Schmidt's death was "an interesting reaction, albeit entirely unexpected."
Helen's Recipe[]
Ingredients in Helen's muffins include 2 cups white flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 egg, slightly beaten, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted butter and a brain from a jar in her basement.
