Honstlar Waddler is the Supreme Overlord of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets. He is 26 years old and has a similar appearance to Homsar's, but with large black eyes with white pupils, and orange soles on his feet. He wears a purple shirt with "honstlar" written on it. He also wears a bowler hat similar to Homsar's. Honstlar can be described as semi-random, weird, agile, and spontaneous. He leads the Broternal Order of Different Helmets by example, taking initiative and attempting courageous feats. He is good friends with all of his fellow members, and he always stays loyal and looks out for them. He is the half-half-brother of Homsar, the brother of Handy, and the cousin of and Dooble, all of which he gets along with quite well. He lives in a giant bagel down by the river. (more...)

 Garbles (also known as Gfd) is the Treasurer of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets. He usually wears a green shirt with a yellow G on it and a purple bowler hat similar to Homsar's. He keeps thousands of useless items in his bowler hat (mostly food items, or non-food food items), including objects larger than the bowler hat itself. His appearance seems to be a combination of many other denizens of Free Country &mdash; his body and legs look like Homestar Runner's, his skin is coloured similarly to Bubs's head, he has Strong Bad's head and mouth shape, Bubs's teeth, and Pom Pom's eyes, to name a few. For the most part, Gfd is a comic relief character, and as a result, he is usually quite unintelligent, forgetful, and untalented. His randomness can make him almost omnipotent at times. He has a habit of rambling on about random things, or taking ordinary conversations in strange new directions. One of his most defined traits is his fondness of non-edible food items. His eating skills surpass the King of Town's, and he can even eat non-physical concepts. Food is often the highest priority for him, even if he's in a dangerous or important situation. Though his ethics are questionable, he is good friends with Homsar and his fellow members of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets. Everyone seems to simultaneously like and dislike him. |(more...)

SRMX12 is the Royal Secretarian of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets. His role presumably akin to a secretary, as he takes the minutes of each meeting (though these are of questionable value and regularly veer into irrelevant tangents). His helmet is a squire's cap, and he frequently appears in a full squire costume to match. His appearance is remarkably similar to Homestar Runner's; major differences being a different shirt, a smaller underbite, black soles instead of blue, brown hair, and blue-tinted glasses. SRMX12 is rarely seen out of the company of his laptop, the Prisma One, even if using it simply as a prop to hide his face behind during an uncomfortable moment. He primarily uses it to draw graphics, create impressive but purposeless 3D models, and write computer programs, many of which result in bugs and glitches that somehow manifest in the real world. He sometimes tries to attribute his computer skills to being an android. SRMX12 has a obsession with graphic design and won't hesitate to point out minute design flaws in any and all digital or printed matter. A self-professed "intellectual", SRMX12 is given to spontaneously inventing bizarre and whimsical words and expressions, as well as making jokes and comments he thinks are witty which provoke nothing more than blank staring from nearby characters. However, he gains an air of superiority when talking about computers, providing meaningless technical terms and explanations that sometimes call into question how much he actually knows about technology. Despite his general lack of knowledge, he has invented time travel, interuniversal transportation, and other seemingly impossible technological advancements. SRMX12 can get very irate with anyone who neglects to write or pronounce the number in his name, stubbornly insisting that he be called by his full name. (more...)

Coach Erin (commonly known as Coach E) is the Slashfic Matchmaker of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets. She is 18 years old and has white skin like Coach Z, golden blonde hair with some brown in it, tied in a dark pink ribbon, a pink dress, dark pink bracelets on each wrist, shoes and a silver and pink E bling, similar to Coach Z's Z bling. Over time, Coach E lost her British-ness and now sounds American. Coach E is friendly and sweet, but don't let her pink looks fool you. She can be sensitive and angry at times when you spoil her good mood. She loves the company of Bubs and Coach Z and sees them as her "godparents". She also likes the company of Strong Sad, Homestar Runner,, Honstlar, and Piem'n. Her relationship with Strong Bad is sort of a love-hate relationship. Strong Bad can sometimes make joking comments to Coach E which she finds hurtful, but he once gave Coach E some of his old video games. She writes fan fiction and goes on adventures with the Broternal Order of Different Helmets. (more...)

Grindolo is the main antagonist of The Broternal Order of Different Helmets, and the leader of The Pretender, Mr. Dando, The Cleanser Geek, and The Unguraits. Grindolo is a levitating spirit draped in ragged purple robes that flow in the wind. Nothing can be seen of his face, shrouded under his hood, except two glowing angry yellow eyes. He is villainous and determined, never hesitating to do whatever it takes to bring down the BODH. This hot-headed recklessness, however, is often what leads to his defeat. Though he most often speaks in vaguely ominous villain phrases, he is not above speaking casually or comedically depending on the situation. The more he tries and fails to kill the BODH, the more he seems to warm up to them, sometimes speaking to them less as mortal archnemeses and more as annoying acquaintances. He has even worked together with Honstlar to face greater threats. Grindolo was created in the year 1000 by Xar'ak to be an assistant in universal domination. After a disagreement between the two in 1517, Grindolo tried to take over Earth without Xar'ak's help. This led to his defeat at the hands of Sir Honald Waddler, who killed him, destroyed his physical form and locked his spirit in a mystical cave with the Golden Fedora. The BODH accidentally freed him after opening the cave and getting the Golden Fedora, which Grindolo had learned to become immune to. From this point he had two goals; to defeat Honald's offspring, Honstlar and his friends, and to take over Earth, as he failed to do 500 years earlier. He would primarily spend his time scheming at his base, Castle Grindolo. (more...)

The Golden Fedora is a magic hat that can make all your dreams come true. It is the main MacGuffin of Helmet Quest. It can be found with a map Honstlar finds online while searching for Limozeen tickets. The Honstlar Waddler holds the clue (the password "Ricky Fighters" from the game Tag Team Wrestling), and the hat itself is held inside the Cave of the Golden Fedora, which is guarded by the Olmec. The hat was also guarded by the Brethrenly Order of Fedoral Guardians one thousand years earlier; one of its members, Sir Honald Waddler, used it to seal Grindolo away. Old-Timey Strong Bad attempts to steal the hat, but Honstlar uses it to trap him in the Gwamamola Box and send him back to the past. It's not the only magic hat in existence, however, as its power is rivaled by the Platinum Porkpie. (more...)

Helmet Wars is the eighth episode of season 1, and is notable for featuring the introduction of Grindolo. It begins with the BODH trying to get jobs, but their efforts are interrupted by creepy occurrences, and eventually the appearance of Grindolo. He seeks revenge against Honstlar for being sealed away by his ancestor, Sir Honald Waddler. He gives some exposition about his backstory and whatnot, and reveals that he was freed when the BODH entered the Cave of the Golden Fedora in Helmet Quest. He spent so long with the Golden Fedora that he became immune to its power, and bestowed this immunity onto his new assistant, The Pretender (returning for the first time after his debut in the previous episode, Clones, Cards, and Competitions). The BODH uses the fedora to give themselves cool robot powersuits and a battle ensues. Grindolo takes the fedora and wishes Honstlar was dead, and wishes the rest of the BODH were on the other side of the world. They appear in the desert without their robot suits, but Honstlar shows up there because Grindolo has no concept of death, so he couldn't kill him. They set off to search for the Platinum Porkpie, setting in motion the events of Helmet Quest 2. (more...)
