Helaku can be seen during the mission "Great Men Are Not Always Wise", where he executes an unnamed bank teller before other gang members rush out of the bank. He is then seen holding some civilians hostage in one of the rooms on the first floor of the bank. He is also encountered during the mission "At Home With Dutch", where he is acting as a scout for Dutch's Gang and must be neutralized by Marston in order to survey the camp.
His name is of Native American origin; in this culture, Helaku means "Full of Sun".
Before the release of the game, he, Hassun, Enepay, Kosumi, and Nashoba were meant to be bounty targets but were scrapped before the game was available to the public.
During "Great Men Are Not Always Wise" it is possible to stop the execution of the banker by killing Helaku first. Once Helaku is dead, the unnamed man will flee before the other malefactors exit the bank.
He has the most appearances in missions out of all members in Dutch's Gang.
In Undead Nightmare, an undead model of him appears on a loading screen in Great Plains. Despite this, his undead model does not appear in the final game.
His head model looks similar to Kohana's. Only differences are that Helaku has a huge scar across his face while Kohana doesn't, Helaku's skin is lighter than Kohana's and his eyes are brown while Kohana's is blue.
