Rupert Van Helden is the author of "Finding the One", which is regarded as a new classic by members of the Hymn of One. He is credited for making the Hymn of One accessible to younger people.

In BACK TO BUSINESS, Patricia reveals that he probably was the one responsible for murdering Kate. In Rupert, Van Helden's first appearance, he informs us that he has had nothing to do with Kate's murder, and that he actually believes the FTO (the organization with which Patricia is now affiliated) to have more of a connection to it than they have led people to believe.

In order to prove his claim, Rupert managed to sneak a Hymn of One member into the FTO, who conveniently left a trail to the FTO headquarters. He later visited the headquarters with Steve, and exposed the FTO as being run by a couple of teenagers, Jeffrey and Raymond. Immediately following this visit, Rupert hastily returned to America on "official business".

In Precious Blood: 12PM it was revealed that Rupert was Julia's secret boyfriend, which Charlie doesn't react kindly to, and informs her that she can't trust them. However, Julia and Rupert decide to make the best of their situation (and are happy they don;t have to keep everything hidden anymore).

Rupert attempts to reach out to Steve, but he also reacts badly, criticizing Rupert for not following his own teachings. Rupert decides to try reaching out to the viewing community directly, and goes to find Sophie, and he participates in a NowLive Chat where he dismissed any connection between the Hymn of One, Terrence, and The Order. He proceeded to try and convince people to attend a seminar on April 7, 2008 (The Day of the Eternal Song), where he would be giving a big announcement. Before leaving, he gives Sophie a copy of his book, which she ended up getting rid of.

On the Day of the Eternal Song, Julia and Rupert set up the The Hymn of One London Centre.
