Pre-Comics
Helbert was enrolled into Red Fountain and judging by the fact that the school was willing to offer its assistance, he may have had a good relationship with them before leaving. He went on to work for an environmental protection group, which led him to Blue Bay on Planet Terramaris. He made efforts to establish responsible fishing, though they were consistently disregarded by fishing monger, Samuel Morgan, who owns the only fishing business and forces fishermen to follow his orders. Helbert's constant intervention has led to him receiving a bad rapport among Samuel, his crew, and other fishermen. He also became friends with a fisherman named Peter.

Season 4
Realizing the situation had gotten dire, Helbert requests Red Fountain's help in stopping Samuel Morgan. While he waits for their assistance he continues his own efforts to stop Samuel Morgan's crew from continuing their irresponsible fishing, on a jet ski. He tries to prevent five large vessels but he is eventually forced of his jet ski and into rough waters next to large rocks.

Luckily, he is saved by three dolphins who bring him back to the shore. He is greeted by seven fairies who introduce themselves as the Winx. They compare notes and Helbert learns the Winx are here to help in place of the specialists who were preoccupied. Helbert himself explains the situation: irresponsible fishing is worsening the health of marine life. He and the Winx head for the pier where the fishermen are unloading their catches for the day. It is obvious that Helbert is infamous when the fishermen express their annoyance at his appearance and when Captain Grog aggressively approach him. While Captain Grog angrily blames him for his troubles, Helbert remains calm and collected while spilling facts. The situation starts escalating when a friendly fisherman by the name Peter smooths things over. Captain Grog threatens Peter as well but the latter reminds him that Samuel will not appreciate the discourse he is causing, plus there is still work to be done.

Captain Grog leaves in a huff with threats. After he has left, Peter scolds Helbert for being careless. He is then introduced to the Winx who explain that their fishing tactics are harmful. Sensing their strong disapproval he explains that the situation is far more complicated than that. For one, Samuel Morgan is the only fishing equipment supplier in Blue Bay, and since the people here only know how to fish, they have no choice but to follow his orders. They also cannot just drop everything as they have families to look after. It is clear, that most of the fishermen do not agree with the practices either. Peter needs to get back to work but offers Helbert and the Winx a delicious meal when he is done. Helbert takes the girls sighting seeing and then to Peter's home where they are introduced to the latter's family: his wife Justine and their two children. Helbert enjoys dinner with the Winx, Peter and his family.

The next day, Helbert is at Peter's house and is told of the sea's warning by Bloom. She explains its patience has ran out and will enact its revenge. Helbert sees a worried Justine encourage her husband to not go fishing today. Though hesitant, Peter listens and was only able convince his crew to not go. The other fishermen, Captain Grog and his crew, and Samuel Morgan head out to sea to fish only to be prevent by the sea's largest animals, whales. Helbert watches the Winx go into action while Peter is gobsmacked by their sudden transformation.

Thanks to Roxy, the fishermen who were thrown over by the whales are saved by dolphins. This gives the fishermen the revelation they needed to stop listening to Samuel. With the situation resolved, Helbert happily informs the Winx that Peter and Justine had open a bed and breakfast and business is booming.
