It is a particular hallmark of the Helm stories that Helm
will allow
himself to be captured and placed at a disadvantage in order
to overcome
his enemy and "make the touch," as he calls it. He often
reminds the
reader that the job is to make the kill, not come back alive.
And he
places himself in harm's way over and over to make that
point.
