Kael Helmawr was the father and predecessor of Necromunda's current Planetary Governor, Gerontius Helmawr[1a], and became its ruler after the execution of Cyar Helmawr.[1b]

Though Kael had many children by the time Gerontius was born in 893.M41, the Governor's rite of succession was changed after the reading of the Emperor's Tarot at his youngest child's naming ritual. The Tarot revealed to Kael that Gerontius would be a ruler of Necromunda who was greater than any to bear the name Helmawr before him. In the aftermath of this portentous reading, Kael invoked the rite of succession, and made Gerontius his sole heir among his children.[1a] He would continue to rule, however, until Gerontius succeeded him, in the early 900's.M41.[1c]
