Real World Background

Helios is named after the god of the sun in Greek mythology, who each day drove his fiery chariot pulling the sun across the heavens. (Apollo only received the title of sun-god very late in the development of classical mythology). He was the son of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and the brother of Selene, the goddess of the moon (after whom the dark-haired Weird Sister Seline is named), and Eos, the goddess of the dawn.
