Helena Pierce was the administrator of the town New Haven.

Biography
Pierce suffered severe facial injuries when a Skag Pearl ring was given to her by her husband, releasing hunger-inducing pheromones. Her husband died some time later.

When Sledge's bandits turned off the region's power in Zephyr Station, she refused to negotiate a ransom, leaving the area on generator power.

During the Vault Hunters' quest, she gave the group clearance to New Haven. Upon arrival, however, they discovered she had made the decision to not open the road to Sanctuary, due to Baron Flynt's tribe posing a threat to her citizens. After making the Vault Hunters help around the town, she directed them to Patricia Tannis, who was eager to meet them.

After a money-making scheme between the Marcus Kincaid and the Vault Hunters enraged the bandit leader, One-Eyed Jack, he planned to attack New Haven. Pierce forced the Vault Hunter to kill him before he had a chance to strike, bringing back his eye as proof. They did so, and Helena forgave them for their mistake.

Tannis requested Class A clearance for the Vault Hunters on their mission. Pierce declined, and so Tannis stole her robotic arm until clearance was given.

Years later, Pierce hijacked a train running through The Dust with the aim of reaching Sanctuary with New Haven citizens, as the nearest frontier town had been devoured by a sandstorm. Pierce was incorrectly under the impression that Hyperion had not diverted troops from the town to pursue them, leading to an ambush of troops through the windows. As Wilhelm kept the occupants at gunpoint, Jack pretended to flirt with Pierce before seeing her face. Jack asked Helena for the story of her disfigurement, after which he shot her with a laugh and a joke. He then ordered Wilhelm to kill the rest of the citizens.

The fast travel station in Sanctuary was named 'Pierce Station' in her honor.
