His separate self worked as a wellness counselor at Lumon in Season 1. Another discovery that took place during the overtime contingency initiated by Mark, Dylan (Zach Cherry), Helly (Britt Lower), and Irving ( John Turturro) was that Helly is actually an Eagan, or a member of the founding family behind Lumon. Kier Eagan founded the company, and Helly, who goes by Helena when not separated, is the daughter of Jame Eagan, current CEO of the company.
