Organisation History: Helix Trading Co. was founded by Chairman Markus Finch and is currently run by him. The company aquired stock in a number of companies early on and eventually held the majority in several of the said companies. Using his newfound wealth Finch began living a life of high luxury and was grossly unprepared for the economic depression that destroyed it's original form. Seeing that his company was falling to ruins and with no savings Finch turned to more radical means of bringing in wealth. Initially Helix was involved in illegal drug movements but after several employees were convicted of selling the narcotics Helix stopped working with drugs and moved to trafficking. Helix now provides a huge number of slaves serving many tasks throughout the galaxy.

Background: Markus Finch was born and raised on Earth by his father Robert Finch. From an early age he was taught that he was an elite and would rise to be better then everyone else. Once his father was pronounced dead Finch spent his father's wealth on a series of highly risky corporate stocks of which a few payed off. Finch continued his life of corporate power until suddenly his money was gone. Helix had hit rock bottom and unless something was done it would be lost. So he turned to a few buisness associates within the Omega relay who happily provided him with a less then legal means of keeping his company running. When the drugs were eventually found out he had already prepared the men who would be accused. Nothing was ever traced to him and it appeared the men had been working independably despite their claims. At this point Finch realized he needed a new source of income. He found It in trafficking.  The market was huge and his conscious was warped enough now that he cared little for whom he hurt. With Helix headed in a wealthy direction Finch has turned his attention to collecting rare and valuable items. Currently he has his eyes on a prize that he would could not afford to buy with credits a prothean artifact. But legal procurement isn't the way Finch had in mind for the artifact anyway.
