Helios Malukshure

Helios Malukshure (ヘリオス・マルクシュア) is a prince of the Kingdom of Malukshure featured in How to Spend a Certain Vacation.

Appearance
A fairly tall and attractive man with slicked back dark hair and circular glasses. He dresses in gaudy attire befitting that of a posh royal.

Personality
Helios, despite his conceited and frivolous nature, is still someone who was expected to become a king, having the brain to match.

Helios had a great deal of envy towards his older brother, Cyrus. At first it was due to Cyrus being better suited to being a king than him, but it evolves when Helios realizes just how much his parents care for Cyrus.

Background
Helios was born as the second prince to the Malukshure Kingdom, eventually becoming the crown prince when his brother's lack of magical talent was revealed.

Helios grew up in the castle, living a lavish lifestyle while training to become an excellent mage and the next king, but never forgot his brother. His brother Cyrus, who had become an adventurer, had his superior kingly qualities on full display as he won over the hearts of the commoners. Acknowledging the possibility of Cyrus claiming the throne instead of him, despite Cyrus's lack of magical ability, Helios sent his subordinates to monitor Cyrus out of fear.

After the events of How to Spend a Certain Vacation, Helios's respect towards his brother has increased due to his actions and daft alliance with Demon Lord Rimuru. He has no qualms about their father giving Cyrus the throne, and works hard to support his brother from then on.
