Not much is known about the Helmeted Author, except that he is an author from another dimension who had come to destroy the comic. The Author had to let him in due to union rules[1], but he had to wear a helmet that limited his powers. While wearing this helmet, he is unofficially known as Helmut (a name given to him by members of the Bob and George forums). When the helmet is removed, he presumably transforms into Fistandantilus (though whether Helmut and Fistandantilus are the same person or not has been a heavily debated topic for some time).
