History Characters / AssassinsCreedValhalla

* BrutishCharacterBrutishWeapon: His primary weapon in combat is a hammer. [[spoiler:Something he has in common with his prior incarnation.]] He tells Eivor that Ragnar himself gave it to him at the age of fourteen after he looted it off the body of a Finnish chief so soon that the blood on it was still warm.

* DropTheHammer: His primary weapon in combat is a hammer. [[spoiler:Something he has in common with his prior incarnation.]] He tells Eivor that Ragnar himself gave it to him at the age of fourteen after he looted it off the body of a Finnish chief so soon that the blood on it was still warm.

* HeroesWantRedheads: She can be romanced by Eivor and happens to be a redhead.

* FatalFlaw: His paranoia. While overall a decent man and leader, his increasing power over Northumbria and wars have caused him to realize being in charge puts a large target on his head. ''Especially'' when he's the son of the legendary Ragnar Lothbrok. However, it's implied his paranoia may actually be the result of [[spoiler:Faravid possibly poisoning him with Roman-era led cups.]]

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:After defeating him, Eivor can deny Ivarr passage to Valhalla]].

* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear whether or not he's Desmond Miles BackFromTheDead as an InterfaceWithAFamiliarFace or simply an Isu creation tasked with reading through numerous possible futures being created every second. It doesn't help that when Sigurd and Eivor were connected to the machine (and Svala ''still'' hooked up the whole time), it seemed only Sigurd had an idea of how to use it.

* AdaptationalContextChange: historically, Guthrum was essentially forced to be convert to Christianity as part of the terms of his surrender after Alfred the Great defeated him, though he was still a pagan to his pagan followers as well. Here, it's more implied that he willingly turned to Jesus for comfort after [[spoiler: Soma died during that battle at Werham]] and he kindly asks if Eivor would like to hear His message during their final conversation in the game.

* ThatManIsDead: Says as much on his baptism and renaming to Aethelstan, about Guthrum.

* ThatManIsDead: Says as much on his baptism and renaming to Æthelstan, about Guthrum.

* TheRemnant: ''The Siege of Paris'' DLC reveals that much like in Britain, the Hidden Ones around France fled to Cologne following the death of Emperor Honorious, but at least some stayed behind as an unseen Hidden One tails Eivor over the course of the Francia Hidden Ones sidequest.

* AmbiguousSituation: Since the Asgard [=/=] Jotunheim [=/=] Dawn of Ragnarok arcs are a version of Odin's memories, filtered through Eivor having taking some potions, it makes it a little unclear just who and what each being is.

* ThatManIsDead: Says as much on his baptism and renaming to Aethelstan, about Guthrum.

* PosthumousCharacter: Much like her husband, she is pretty much already dead when the Raven Clan launches a colonial expedition to England, as she died to a Finnish archer's arrow years before.

* ItsPersonal: She wants revenge on Konstantinos for tearing her eye out. She gruesomely slices up her former partner and has his remains FedToPigs afterwards.

!!High King Flann Sinna
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flann_sinna_acv.png]]
->'''Voiced by:'''

The King of Meath and later the High King of Ireland. The onset of his reign is mired in civil war and attacks by the druidic Cult of Danu.

A French king that intends to launch an invasion on England, and the main antagonist of ''The Siege of Paris''.

[[folder:In General]]
* ArchEnemy: They are the millennia-long foes of the Order of the Ancients.
* TheAlliance: They form one with the Raven Clan in order to combat the Order of the Ancients in England.
* BackFromTheBrink: As noted by Hytham, the Hidden Ones haven't existed in England in over four centuries since the death of Emperor Honorius in 423 AD. Under the leadership of Basim and Hytham (and mostly Eivor's direct efforts), the organization finally re-establishes their presence in the former Roman province during the early medieval period.
* BadassLongRobe: Like the Assassins, they wear white robes with red sashes.
* BenevolentConspiracy: As a secret society, the Hidden Ones work in the shadows to serve the light and protect humanity from the tyranny of the Order.
* ColorMotif: Hidden One garb is white and red with a dash of grey similar to the Assassins.
* {{Fingore}}: As befitting tradition prior to Altair's reforms, their ring fingers are removed in order to facilitate the Hidden Blade.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Order of the Ancients.
* GroupIdentifyingFeature: The Hidden Ones are easily identified by their white-grey robes and red sashes, and by the fact that at this point they still slice off their left ring finger upon initiation.
* TheHashshashin: Not quite, but the Hidden Ones are close enough to the historical Hashashasin in all but name. Basim even mentions to Eivor that they have established a foothold in the Levant and Persia with the desert fortress Alamut as their main base of operations.
* HiddenWeapons: Just like the Assassins, the Hidden Ones use the Hidden Blade as their primary weapon.
* InTheHood: As is Assassin tradition, a Hidden One always wears a hood.
* ALighterShadeOfGrey: They return to Britain after centuries of absence as allies of Viking invaders for the greater goal of defeating the Order.
* LightIsGood: The Hidden Ones have white outfits much like the Assassins and they are more or less the good guys here.
* MultiNationalTeam: The Hidden Ones have branches and bureaus across the known world from the Abbasid Caliphate to the Byzantine Empire. The group previously had a long-lasting presence in Britain from 100 AD until 430 AD after the Romans had left. According to the database, the Hidden Ones have members from as far east as China, as far south as India, and as far west as Britain.
* PrecursorHeroes: The Hidden Ones are the original incarnation of the Assassin Brotherhood prior to its eventual reformation by Hassan-i Sabbah in 1090 CE, one century before the start of the Crusades and Altaïr's rise to prominence.
* RedIsHeroic: Every Hidden One has a red sash across their robes.
* TheRemnant: ''The Siege of Paris'' DLC reveals that much like in Britain, the Hidden Ones around France fled to Cologne following the death of Emperor Honorious, but at least some stayed behind as an unseen Hidden One tails Eivor over the course of the Francia Hidden Ones sidequest.

[[folder:Basim]]
!!Basim ibn Ishaq
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/basim_acv.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CarloRota (''Valhalla'', English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Vladislav Kopp (Russian)[[/note]], Lee Majdoub (''Mirage'', English)

A Master Assassin of the Hidden Ones branch based in Constantinople, known to the Norse as Miklagard. Basim met and befriended Sigurd and traveled back with him to Norway to spread the teachings of the Hidden Ones and combat the influence of the Order of the Ancients in Norway and England.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Basim begins laughing wildly at the irony that it was [[spoiler:a wolf bite of all things, that hid Eivor being Odin's reincarnation from him.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:It's left unclear whether or not the family he discusses losing with Eivor at their fireside chat was his human family as Basim, his Isu family as Loki, or even both.]]
* AndIMustScream: Subverted; despite being denied his revenge and [[spoiler:getting stuck in an empty void (though his ability to control it mitigates this slightly), he's surprisingly cheerful upon meeting Layla]]. Makes sense, since [[spoiler:by that point he's figured out how to twist his fate into his advantage]].
* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: [[spoiler:He becomes the modern-day player character in the postgame, in place of Layla.]]
* AnimalMotifs: [[spoiler:In the modern day, he wears a shirt with a wolf on it. The wolf is associated in popular culture with Loki, who Basim is a Sage of, via his son Fenrir.]]
* AntiVillain: Basim wants to avenge the deaths of his family and [[spoiler:to get back at Odin -- even if the current incarnation of Odin doesn't fully understand why]].
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: After Layla uses the Isu brain uploading machine, the Staff ends up touching what's left of him, bringing him back to life. Before that, he was one of the Isu in Asgard who used the same method of ResurectiveImmortality Juno used on Aita.]]
* BadassBookworm: Spent a lot of time at the Library of Baghdad growing up, learned from al-Khwarizmi himself about mathematics and astronomy, and is a skilled warrior.
* BigBadEnsemble: [[spoiler:One of the main antagonists of the game alongside Alfred the Great]].
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Like most Hidden Ones, he carries a Hidden Blade and uses it to great effect [[spoiler:during his boss fight, wounding Eivor badly enough that the wound still gives trouble some time after they've arrived back in Ravensthorpe from Norway.]]
* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: Eivor and Sigurd do this to defeat him during his boss fight by knocking him into one of the devices the Isu use to upload minds to Yggdrasil.]]
* CallForward: His outfit clearly evokes that of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad in previous ''Assassin's Creed'' games, being a similar white robe with red sash reminiscent of Levantine Assassin robes; both of them have origins from the Middle East. His backstory from promotional media states that he comes from Constantinople, where ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' takes place six and a half centuries later. [[spoiler:He also becomes this to Al-Mualim since he becomes the FinalBoss.]]
* ClimaxBoss: [[spoiler:Serves as the climax to both the Prophecy ''and'' Asgard arcs of ''Valhalla'', though Eivor isn't aware of the connection. After his defeat, the eradication of other members of the Order of the Ancients and pacification of England are more or less cleanup duty.]]
* CombatParkour: Does fancy flips while throwing knives [[spoiler:at Eivor during his boss fight.]] His agility can also be glimpsed when he fights alongside Eivor.
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:Uses smoke bombs to mask his climbing so that he can air assassinate Eivor.]]
* TheCorrupter: Basim tells Sigurd that he is actually a god incarnate, causing Sigurd to develop an ego. [[spoiler:It turns out that Basim/Loki believes Sigurd could be a reincarnation of Odin, and wanted to make the Isu personality to take over him before killing his old enemy. When he tails Sigurd and Eivor to the Yggdrasil, he says that it was Eivor he was looking for all along]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Basim's father was an architect who died in exiled poverty when someone else took the credit for the building of the Great Mosque of Samarra[[note]]Located in present-day Iraq and mostly destroyed by Hulegu Khan's forces in 1278, save for its outer wall and minaret.[[/note]], his mother and brothers all died before him, his son [[spoiler:whether Fenrir or not, or even a combination of the two]] was murdered, and he has basically no family in this world.
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:Seems genuinely surprised that Odin reincarnated as Eivor. [[GenderBender Given that Odin was male while Eivor is canonically female]], you can't [[JustifiedTrope really blame the guy]]]].
* FlechetteStorm: Is skilled at using throwing knives.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Not only does he have the same black marks on his neck that Sigurd does, he's also wearing a brooch that has a carving of a wolf head, a snake, and a skull on it. This clearly symbolizes Loki's children, Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hella.]]
* FriendlyEnemy: [[spoiler:Although it doesn't stop him from trying to kill them, there are some signs Basim may have actually enjoyed Eivor's company before learning they house Odin's mind. He shares some intimate details of his life during a campfire chat, and in the modern-day epilogue he even imagines Eivor joining him on another campfire, with no signs of his former hatred]].
* GetBackHereBoss: He runs away after the first phase of his BossBattle, forcing Eivor to give chase.
* IntroOnlyPointOfView: [[spoiler: Inverted, as he's only playable in the epilogue.]]
* {{Irony}}: The way he's defeated becomes this, considering [[spoiler: his conversation with Aletheia implies he has a similar relationship with her as Aita does with Juno.]]
* LastDisrespects: While examining [[spoiler:Eivor's remains in the epilogue]], it sounds [[NewEraSpeech more like he's trying to gloat while pretending to pay his respects.]]
* LaughingMad: Cackles insanely a few times in his fight with Eivor.
* TheMentor: Serves as a mentor to Hytham, and teaches Eivor how to do social stealth by using a cloak to disguise themselves.
* ManInTheMachine: [[spoiler:Eivor and Sigurd end up trapping him in an Isu brain uploading device.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Plays to Sigurd's ego to make him act even more jerkish and also perhaps to drive a wedge between him and Eivor]] .
* MisplacedRetribution: Some of his lines during [[spoiler:his BossFight confirm that for a long time he believed Sigurd to be Odin's reincarnation, and upon seeing Eivor's scars he realizes that they were the real target of his hate]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: It turns out his plan to use the Vikings to destroy the Order in England was this since [[spoiler: Aelfred intended to do that less violently anyway,]] meaning that, civilising the Vikings aside, he started a bloody war for no reason and [[spoiler:forced Aelfred to keep the Order around to protect England's people, which may have inadvertently led to the Order later being reformed into the Templars]].
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: [[spoiler:Mentor Rayhan tells Hytham in a letter that the Hidden Ones had always felt that Basim's loyalty to their cause was secondary to some other purpose, and were hoping that his assignment to England would help him get back on track. As a result, his actions during the game, while disappointing, don't really surprise them.]]
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Tells Eivor that his only son was killed long ago by someone he trusted. [[spoiler:The game leaves it ambiguous as to whether he was speaking about Fenrir, a son fathered as Basim, or even both.]]
* PromotedToPlayable: ''Mirage'' makes him the first protagonist to debut in a title prior to his own game.
* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Basim's warnings about keeping Hidden Ones business secret ring true when Eivor opens Aelfred's study and finds out he's been aware of them, Sigurd, and Hytham ever since their deposing of King Burgred.]]
* PuzzleBoss: His BossBattle is broken up into multiple phases that require various approaches to beat, only a few of which can be solved with brute force. The others are more about figuring out how to proceed to the next stage while surviving his relentless attacks.
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:Is a Sage of Loki seeking revenge on Odin for killing Fenrir.]]
* ReincarnationIdentifyingTrait: [[spoiler:Has the injection marks on his neck Loki got when his genetic material was uploaded to Yggdrasil.]]
* ReverseGrip: Wields his sword with a reverse grip. [[spoiler:This is a trait he has in common with Loki, and is foreshadowing for their connection.]]
* RingOutBoss: [[spoiler:Inverted, to defeat him in the final battle you have to stun him while he's in range of the Isu device in the center of the room to stop him for good.]]
* RummageSaleReject: [[spoiler:His outfit in the modern day looks ''very'' improvised, consisting of a hoodie, a t-shirt with a wolf and a moon in it and brown cargos. Given the circumstances, it most likely ''is'' improvised from whatever surplus clothes Layla, Shaun, and Rebecca had available when he showed up out of the blue.]]
* SinisterScimitar: He wields a curved sword of Persian origin, [[spoiler:and he ends up being the final boss of the Yggdrasil storyline.]]
* SoleSurvivor: Tells Eivor he outlived the deaths of his parents, brothers, and his only son.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: [[spoiler:Unlike Eivor and Sigurd with Odin and Tyr respectively, Loki is Basim's dominant personality to the point that they're pretty much one and the same. It's implied he was this way long before meeting either of them, as Basim tells Eivor that he changed after a meeting with al-Khwarizmi in Baghdad. However, Loki (who is not exactly the most reliable source) states privately that it was more of a "mutual understanding".]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [[spoiler:The fact that he believed Sigurd to be Odin reborn yet actively assisted in rescuing him from Fulke implies that he felt only he should have the right to kill him]].
* TheTeetotaler: Due to being Muslim, he doesn't drink. Eivor notes him not drinking during Sigurd's homecoming feast and Basim discusses not wanting to risk his immortal soul for a drink of abbey brew with Cynebert.
* VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler: He takes Layla's role as TheProtagonist in the modern-day segments after getting her killed]].
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about his role in the story without spoilers.

[[folder:Hytham]]
!!Hytham
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hytham_acv.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Amir Sám Nakhjavani (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Dmitry Kurta (Russian)[[/note]]

An acolyte of the Hidden Ones who accompanied Basim. He runs their bureau in Ravensthorpe, guiding Eivor in hunting members of the Order of the Ancients across England.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: His database entry says that the Hidden Ones offered Hytham purpose when his whole world fell apart, but the game doesn't really go into detail about his past beyond that.
* GameBreakingInjury: Hytham's injuries at the hands of Kjotve prevent him from doing much fieldwork, hence why he needs Eivor's help to hunt down the Order members in his stead, on top of Basim being with Sigurd. Hytham notes that while he can still do some physical activity, he feels a pain in his chest if he does too much of it, and also mentions having trouble breathing, suggesting an injury to either his ribs or lungs.
* TheIdealist: Is this in regards to the Hidden Ones. For one, he opposes Eivor being given their Hidden Blade and being trained to use it without being formally inducted into the order, and takes offense to Eivor not wanting to wear it on the inside of their arm because they'd rather not lose a ring finger. Basim even has to tell him not to "make a fetish" out of a tool.
* {{Irony}}: It's theorized by Shaun that Edward Kenway may have named [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIII Haytham]] after him because he was one of the first Hidden Ones to return to England following the fall of the Roman Empire. If Shaun's correct on that, it means that the namesake of a particularly loyal Hidden One would be brought up as a Templar, and ends up playing a major role in the near-complete destruction of the Assassins in the British Colonies.
* MetronomicManMashing: Is a victim of this at the hands of Kjotve during his boss fight with Eivor, as he smashes him from side to side repeatedly before focusing back on Eivor.
* RankUp: In the epilogue, a letter from Mentor Rayhan indicates that he will be promoted from acolyte due to his contributions during the destruction of the Order of the Ancients in England.
* UltimateFinalExam: It was implied that his assassination of Kjotve was supposed to be Hytham's last test before becoming a full-fledged Hidden One, until Eivor claimed the right to kill Kjotve themselves due to their blood feud.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roshan_5.png]]

The Mentor of the Hidden Ones in Baghdad.

* ChekhovsGunman: She makes an appearance in the final set of content updates for ''Valhalla'', setting up her role in ''Mirage''.
* CombatPragmatist: Introduces herself to Eivor by dropping a smoke bomb on some soldiers, then gutting them while they're busy coughing.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: When she crosses paths with Eivor, it's on her own hunt for members of the Order which she's been on for a while. She doesn't give out a lot of details, but it includes losing her Hidden Blade and a long quest to get it back.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Only appears in the very last set of missions added to ''Valhalla''.
* NeverMessWithGranny: She's elderly by the standards of the setting, but is no less a tremendously dangerous and skilled Hidden One regardless.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: She once worked with Basim, the man who gave Eivor her own Hidden Blade, but she never mentions this fact to Eivor, despite being suspicious about where the Viking got it from.
* WorkingTheSameCase: Roshan meets Eivor when the later is investigating a FalseFlagOperation being funded by the Order member Rayhan is hunting. Roshan figures since they're both after the same person, they should team up.

!!High King Flann Sinna
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flann_sinna_acv.png]]
->'''Voiced by:'''

The King of Meath and later the High King of Ireland. The onset of his reign is mired in civil war and attacks by the druidic Cult of Danu.

* {{BFS}}: Wields a great sword in combat.
* BloodKnight: While mercifully not into GeneralRipper territory, he tends to favor a military approach to problems. When Bárid tries begging off a full-frontal attack on a fortress, he dismisses the idea of heavy casualties as an acceptable sacrifice, though he is willing to let Eivor sneak in and open the gates instead.
* FatalFlaw: He fervently refuses to believe that the church is corrupt in any way, even when evidence presents itself. [[spoiler:He especially refuses to believe that Abbot Eagon, the man who oversaw his crowning, is evil and intends to wipe out his army and only believes it when he learns Eagon is The Oak and Barid's warning about his trap comes to pass.]] His eagerness to establish a united Ireland also ends up alienating one of his closest companions, namely [[spoiler:agreeing with the other kings to enact an inquisition against the druids out of fear, which leads to Ciara turning against him]].
* FightingIrish: He's an Irish warrior and the king of Meath.
* TheGoodKing: He's shown to be a wise and fair king to the people of Meath and Ireland.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Flann Sinna was the historical King of Meath and one of Ireland's High Kings from 879 until 916.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's noticeably very tall and happens to be High King of Ireland.
* MindManipulation: [[spoiler:Subjected to this by Ciara when she activates the Lia Fáil to make him fight Eivor]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:If you spare Ciara, he will sincerely apologize for almost starting an inquisition to force out the druids from Ireland]].
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Flann is an ally and a good friend to Eivor, although his temper and the politics of being High King can cause his judgment to falter without wise advice. When he does an error or makes a mistake, Flann is quick to own up to it and apologize.
* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Ciara was ''not'' happy when Flann, pressured by the other kings, agreed to start an inquisition against the druids, which leads to her becoming the DLC's FinalBoss.]]

[[folder:Bárid mac Ímair]]
!!King Bárid mac Ímair
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barid_mac_imair_acv.png]]
->'''Voiced by:'''

The Norse-Gaelic King of Dublin and a relative of Eivor through their mother Rosta.

* CassandraTruth: He sends word to Flann that [[spoiler:Abbot Eagon]] has the Northern Kings of Ireland under their thumb and intends to spring a trap to wipe out Flann's army. Flann believes it's all deception and [[spoiler:Eagon]] is just another puppet or convenient scapegoat and refuses to pull his army out, much to Barid's frustration.
* FrameUp: After Flann scores a major victory at Cashelore Castle, he's accused of poisoning the Irishmen making up the army and is asked to stay in the castle until Flann decides whether he's innocent while Eivor accompanies Ciara to look for a healer.
* GoingNative: Goes by a Gaelicized version of his original Norse name.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Bárid was the King of Dublin until his death in 881, and his forces are believed to be the ones who killed Halfdan Ragnarsson.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: Zigzagged. Barid is especially eager to have Flann recognize him as a confidant and ally and does what he can to put him in a better light. This is mostly to secure his son's future as his successor and to ensure Dublin will become the center of trade in Flann's Ireland. That said, he will not hesitate to speak up against Flann, such as when the latter refuses to believe his warnings about [[spoiler:Abbot Eagon]] setting a trap for him in Ulster.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Historically, Barid and Sichfrith were brothers, whereas in ''Valhalla'' they're father and son respectively.
* SinsOfTheFather: Part of the problem with Flann. The man who killed Flann's father is the one who made Barid's father king of Dublin, which makes Barid look pretty shady in his eyes.
* SlaveToPR: His actions and decisions are made with a mind to keeping in Flann Sinna’s good graces, a fact which often brings him into conflict with his son.
* TragicDream: He wants to make Dublin a major trade center to provide a future for his son. He never gets to see Dublin's success, and going by historical records, Sichfrith only outlives him by eight years.

[[folder:Sichfrith mac Báirid]]
!!Sichfrith mac Báirid
->'''Voiced by:'''

The son of Barid and Eivor's second cousin.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Following Barid's death in 881, Sichfrith became King of Dublin before he was slain by a kinsman in 888.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's pretty much a spoiled brat when Eivor first meets him, but he matures throughout the story and grows into a leader in his own right. In particular, he learns to appreciate the balancing act it requires.
* LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Sichfrith and Barid have their differences, with Sichfrith being irritated of his father's constant sucking up to Flann and being "soft", though he does later come to understand why his father has to handle things with a gentler hand rather than resolve matters with violence.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Historically Sichfrith was Barid's brother, here he's Barid's son.
* YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler:Following Barid's death, he becomes King of Dublin.]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Julie Fowlis

A 9th century Irish poet that held the position of Ollamh Érenn and served as an advisor to Flann Sinna of Meath.

* TheBard: Ciara is a poet who can play the lyre and sing very well. She also works with Eivor and Flann to eliminate the Children of Danu.
* BoldExplorer: Eivor can finds notes from her on top of some hard to reach locations, including some of the sheerest cliffs in the game.
* {{Druid}}: [[spoiler:Ciara is from a Druidic family and possesses a deep connection to her faith. She also uses her position as Ollamh Érenn to protect Druids from Christian and Norse persecution]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Deirdre warns Eivor of a darkness inside her, telling them to watch over her. [[spoiler:This hints at her actions at the end of the DLC, where she attempts to use the Lia Fáil to ensure the druids will survive the impending inquisition against them.]]
* FieryRedhead: Outside of her duties, she casually flirts with Eivor on a few occasions.
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:She serves as this to ''Wrath of the Druids''. Fearing Christian persecution against herself and her people for her pagan beliefs, as well as giving Eivor and King Flann a WhatTheHellHero, she activates the Lia Fáil intending to wipe out the Christians from Ireland.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She was originally a member of the Children of Danu, but left the group over its dark rituals and goal of wiping out Christianity and Norse paganism from Ireland]].
* HeroesWantRedheads: She can be romanced by Eivor and happens to be a redhead.
* LastOfHerKind: [[spoiler:She is the last of her lineage who are capable of activating the Lia Fáil, which made her useful for the Children of Danu]].
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Ciara asks Eivor to kill her so she can preserve the power of the Lia Fáil. If they accept her request, Eivor will bring out their axe to kill Ciara]].
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:She initially rejects Eivor's claim that she's become just like the Children of Danu, who she despises...until Eivor makes her look at the corpses of Flann's men, who she controlled in her attempt to protect her fellow druids.]]
* NoManShouldHaveThisPower: [[spoiler:After Eivor defeats her, she asks to be killed so that no one can use the Lia Fáil again. If you choose to spare her instead, she will destroy the Lia Fáil]].
* UnevenHybrid: [[spoiler:Ciara appears to have some degree of Isu ancestry since she was able to use the Lia Fáil, a stone monument that was created by the Isu. Additionally, the stone also gives her advanced abilities such as possession of people's minds or creating illusions]].
* WalkingSpoiler: The only spoiler-free things about her is that she is an advisor and Ollamh Érenn. [[spoiler:Everything else about her including the fact that she is a Druid are big spoilers]].
* WaterWakeup: The first time she's met in Dublin, she's piss drunk, singing loudly about King Flann and shit talking some very angry Danes about to shut her up. Eivor punches them out, then gives Ciara one of these, which quickly sobers her up.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:She turns into this at the end of the DLC when Flann is pressured to start an inquisition against the druids when Abbot Eagon is discovered to be the Children of Danu's leader, using the Lia Fáil to control Flann's army and turn them against each other. Thankfully, her plans end prematurely thanks to Eivor helping her to see reason.]]

[[folder:Azar]]
!!Azar
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/azar_acv.png]]

A Persian merchant from the city of Shiraz who traveled westwards to Ireland and became Flann Sinna's most trusted partner, after she was betrayed by Byzantine trader Konstantinos.

* ButchLesbian: Has a typically masculine appearance and she can be romanced by female Eivor.
* EyeScream: She suffered a nasty injury to her right eye by her former partner Konstantinos, which she keeps hidden with her headpiece.
* IntrepidMerchant: Azar is a merchant from the Abbasid Caliphate who traveled across continents to end up in Europe, where she became a business partner to Flann Sinna. It's not for nothing that the missions she gives to Eivor are called "Overseas Trading", which allows them to visit [[UsefulNotes/MoorishSpain Cordoba]], Egypt, and Russia as well as obtain Iberian, Russian, Egyptian, and Byzantine armor sets.
* ItsPersonal: She wants revenge on Konstantinos for tearing her eye out. She gruesomely slices up her former partner and has his remains FedToPigs afterwards.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: Azar has a masculine appearance that combined with her BoyishShortHair makes her easy to mistake for a man. Bárid casually calls her "Old Man" a few times, which she takes in stride, saying, "I've called him worse things."

[[folder:Deidre]]
!!Deirdre Na Linni

A Druid who lives in the wild, and a friend of Ciara's. She's approached when the Children of Danu try to frame Barid, and assists Eivor and Ciara in ridding Ireland of the Children.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: While her druidic mindset makes her come off as strange, she does know her stuff with it comes to antidotes.
* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents kicked her out at the tender age of seven for being "unnatural". She was found and raised by a druid.

!Kingdom of West Francia

[[folder:Charles the Fat]]
!!King Charles III, "Charles the Fat"
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charles_the_fat_acv.png]]
->'''Voiced by: Creator/JBBlanc'''

A French king that intends to launch an invasion on England, and the main antagonist of ''The Siege of Paris''.

* {{Acrofatic}}: During the boss battle against him, the non-lethal way to beat him is to lock him in the shrine he dedicated to his wife, unfortunately, he's incredibly fast for his size and requires to be severely injured and stunned for it to work long enough to lock him in.
* AxCrazy: When Charles has a VillainousBreakdown and starts killing his own men near the end it isn't pretty to watch, even Eivor is freaked out.
* BigBad: For ''The Siege of Paris'', serving as the greatest threat to Eivor and their allies.
* CarryABigStick: He fights with a huge mace.
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Eivor first meets him in a brothel in his underwear.
* TheCorruptor: Richardis is determined to keep Bernard away from him, because she knows Charles's influence would wreck the kid.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He loves his wife and son, although he does resent her for not siring more heirs, to the point of being willing to burn her at the stake for it. He even has a huge shrine dedicated to his wife in his boss arena. Ensuring [[spoiler:Bernard's safety is how Eivor manages to convince Charles to stay out of England]].
* EvilSoundsDeep: His "Demon" alter speaks in a much lower voice than Charles.
* FatBastard: He's fat and the main antagonist of the DLC.
* HisOwnWorstEnemy: Charles styles himself as a man of God, but at the same time, he's also a depraved hedonist who spends more time in a brothel than he does with his wife. It's ultimately because of the hedonistic tendencies and failing to live up to his own moral standards that prove to be the main reason why he's been failing at leadership and alienating most of his confidants. That's not even going into his own complicated relationship with Richardis.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Charles the Fat was the last ruler of a united Francia.
* IGaveMyWord: For all his flaws, if Eivor rescues his son and deals with him nonlethally he'll agree not to invade England.
* ILied: Tells Eivor to rescue Richardis and he'll hear them out. Unfortunately, his paranoia kicks in, and instead he sets goons on them both.
* {{Kevlard}}: Between his chainmail and how fat he is he's nearly immune to damage, you have to light him on fire repeatedly to hurt him.
* ManOnFire: One way to do a lot of damage to him quickly is to stun him, then knock him into the fire braziers around the room, though he will smarten up and start putting them out.
* TheParanoiac: A raging paranoid, he's frequently convinced Richardis is cheating on him.
* SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: The main source of Charles' many, many issues. He's both a depraved hedonist and a religious fanatic, and failing to live up to his moral standards is driving him completely nuts.
* ShiftingVoiceOfMadness: His voice shifts between his normal voice and a demonic sounding one.
* VillainousLineage: He's the great-grandson of Charlemagne, who in this setting is a member of the Order of the Ancients.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's got extreme pyrophobia, as a result of something that was done to him as a child.

[[folder:Richardis]]
!!Queen Richardis of Swabia
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/richardis_acv.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:'''

Wife of Charles the Fat, Richardis was a pious woman who sought to calm her husband's temper and madness.

* AllLovingHero: Her religious piety inspires her to compassion for even the worst of individuals, including her husband Charles. Even after he attempts to burn her alive Richardis begs Eivor to spare him, blaming his madness on the torture he faced as a child, and prays for the soul of Bishop Gozlin despite him having fought Eivor to prevent her from saving Richardis.
* BurnTheWitch: At the end of the campaign, regardless if Bernard is given to Charles or not, he'll put Richardis on a "trial by fire." By a freak miracle of nature, it starts raining, putting out the fire.
* DamselInDistress: The first time she's met, Eivor has to save her from being tortured to death by the Little Mother. At the end of the DLC, she's captured by Charles and Eivor must save her again.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The wife of Charles the Fat who was later canonized as the patron saint of the commune of Andlau and protection from fire by the Catholic Church.
* OddFriendship: Forges one with Eivor, who is a leader of the Vikings invading Francia and besieging Paris.

[[folder:Odo]]
!!Count Odo
->'''Voiced by:'''

A high-ranking Francian noble who sought to defend Paris from the Vikings while chafing under his mad king's rule.

* DentedIron: Admits after the siege he still hasn't healed up from the injuries Eivor gave him. He's lucky Eivor was trying to keep him alive.
* FriendlyEnemy: Despite Eivor being one of the leaders of the Viking siege, Odo respects and gets along quite well with them and finds they have more honor than almost everyone else on all sides of the conflict.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The future King of West Francia, which would later become France.
* ItsPersonal: His family's lands were conquered and taken by Viking invaders. While normally a reasonable man, any peace agreement that does not return those lands to him infuriates him and causes him to oppose the deal.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Compared to other authority figures, Odo is far more prone to reasoning and listens to Eivor's requests rather than call for the guards and have them cut down. The only reason he and Eivor do come to blows is that he refuses to relinquish the lands of his birthright to the Vikings, though he does eventually agree when he realizes Charles' madness is screwing him over.
* TheStarscream: After chafing under Charles' madness and poor leadership, Odo eventually has enough once he realizes how the king deliberately held back his forces during the siege to play hero and then agreed to a treaty that conceded a large amount of gold and land to the Vikings. He resolves to overthrow Charles and become king himself, requesting Eivor assist him by killing Charles in exchange for Odo's vow not to invade England once king.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Any chance of a peaceful alliance is ruined if Eivor spares Charles. Odo makes clear he ''will'' become king, and after that declares all bets will be off. (Historically, Odo did become a king, but never went anywhere near England.)

[[folder:Sigfred]]
!!Sigfred
->'''Voiced by:'''

The jarl of the Francian Danes. He is Toka's uncle and Sinric's brother.

* BloodKnight: He's easily one of the most bloodthirsty Vikings in the game, second to Ivarr. His desire to kill ''any'' Francian that he comes across, soldier or civilian, stems from being unable to cope with his grief from his brother's death. [[spoiler:The only way to get him to stop his plan to pursue conquest to the south is to convince him he has to face his grief head-on rather than try and escape it through blood and death.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Eivor at the start of ''Valhalla''. Both have a blood feud against those who killed their family (Kjotve for Eivor and the Francians for Sigfred), but whereas Eivor was willing to listen to reason and focused only on Kjotve, Sigfred wants nothing more than to paint all of Francia with the opposing party's blood, finding most Francians responsible for his brother's death and disgrace.
* ItsPersonal: The Francians murdered his brother and are trying to drive his clan out of Francia.
* KickTheDog: During the Siege of Paris mission, after Eivor kills Gozlin, he finds a group of Francian civilians huddled together in a church. [[spoiler:When Eivor sees him exit the church, he and his ax are covered in blood and the civilians are dead.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: Is the Red to both his brother and Toka's Blue. Toka is much more rational and while she does voice her skepticism against Eivor's idea to hash things out, whereas Sigfred demands nothing short of a slaughter.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Sigfred is obsessed with avenging his brother's death, so much so that he refuses to listen to any arguments or ideas that will resolve tensions between Francia and his clan that do not involve him putting his ax on someone's skull. [[spoiler:When he declares his intent to pursue conquest to lands in the south and comes to blows with Eivor, the latter has to decide whether to kill him in a holmgang or convince him to stand down and confront his grief directly.]]
* RoaringRampageofRevenge: Why he has gone to war against Charles the Fat. [[ItsPersonal Charles's forces murdered his brother]] and in an extra disgrace, did so while he was in bed thus denying Sinric an honorable death. Sigfred's fight is both to secure the existence of his people and to reclaim his brother's lost honor.
* TragicKeepsake: The toy reindeer that his brother Sinric won off him as a child. It was the only way he was able to identify his brother's dead body.
* WouldHurtAChild: He could not care less about how many children will die during his siege against Paris. [[spoiler:He even kills one himself when he massacres a group of Francian civilians hiding inside a church.]]

[[folder:Abbo Cernuus]]

A Benedictine monk who was present for the Siege of Paris, who also did certain other things...

* BadassPreacher: A monk, who single-handedly killed six raiders when they broke into the Abbey of St. Germaine.
* GoodIsNotSoft: He kills several soldiers who were sent to investigate the Francian bureaus, though his letter to Eivor has him state it was only after he determined they wouldn't leave peacefully.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: A Hidden One who evidently operated on his lonesone, and was a participant and survivor of the Siege of Paris.
* TheRemnant: Much like in England, the Hidden Ones had lone retreated from Francia. Cernuus seems to, by all indications, be working protecting the abandoned Bureaus all by himself.
* StealthExpert: He's good. He follows Eivor around as she's going through the Paris bureau, and she only barely notices, but never catches a glimpse of him. If he'd thought she was truly a threat, the game might well have come to a very sudden stop.

!Others
[[folder:Brendan of Clonfert]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Simon Lee Philips (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Dmitry Kurta (Russian)[[/note]]
An Irish Christian monk that embarked on a pilgrimage throughout England by carving messages on Standing stones that documented his interactions with the Isu and accidentally discovered the New World well before Leif Erikson and UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus arrived here.
----
* BoldExplorer: During his spiritual journey, he would land on the continent of North America otherwise known as Saint Brendan's Island or Vinland as it's called by the Vikings.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: He was an Irish monk that lived for over 90 years and he was one of the Catholic missionaries responsible for converting most of Ireland to Christianity. Brendan also allegedly discovered previously unknown land that was eventually named after him which may have been either the Canary Islands, the Faroe Islands, the Azores, Greenland, or even North America which itself is the subject of a theory among historians.
* TheMissionary: Helped convert Ireland to Christianity.
* PastLifeMemories: He's a Sage. Of who is unclear, but it's heavily hinted he's one of Aita's, given his recurring vision of the man and Juno. His faith makes him interpret the memories as visions from God.
* PosthumousCharacter: He's already long dead for around 200 years by the events of ''Valhalla''.
* TheVoice: We never see him in the flesh and simply hear Brendan speak in his messages on the stones.

[[folder:Saint George]]
A Cappadocian Greek officer in the Roman army who later became a revered Christian saint.

* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Sort of. Historians generally agree that there was a Greek Christian named George who lived in Diocletian's Roman Empire in the 4th century AD, however he certainly did not slay a dragon and there is very little factual information about him.
* InspirationalMartyr: Saint George's death at the hands of the Romans made him a megalomartyr to all Christians. His insignia even became the symbol of the Knights Templar and the modern day United Kingdom, particularly the flag of England.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Well not quite a knight but the armor worn by Saint George is impeccably shiny and amazing to look at. It also looks similar to what medieval knights would have worn in the [[HighMiddleAges High]] and [[TheLateMiddleAges Late Middle Ages]].
* PosthumousCharacter: Saint George is already long dead by the 9th century and pieces of armor are scattered across England for Eivor in their raids across the Heptarchy.
* ReligiousBruiser: Even before he became a Christian convert, Saint George served in the Roman army as a soldier in the Praetorian Guard.
* RealMenLoveJesus: It doesn't get much more "Love Jesus" than one of the most venerated saints in Christianity.

[[folder: The Reader '''(SPOILERS UNMARKED)''']]
[[quoteright:216:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/96b7c713_a78f_43e9_af24_7c620cd03123.jpeg]]
[[caption-width-right:216:”Layla, hello.”]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NolanNorth (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages''':Alexander Gavrilin (Russian)[[/note]]
A mysterious entity found by Layla in the Grey.

* AccordingToMyCalculations: Tells Layla the exact odds on her arriving.
* AndIMustScream: Averted. He's been performing his one given task for at least 8 years in a black, endless void, but mentions to Layla that he barely even notices time passing at all.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear whether or not he's Desmond Miles BackFromTheDead as an InterfaceWithAFamiliarFace or simply an Isu creation tasked with reading through numerous possible futures being created every second. It doesn't help that when Sigurd and Eivor were connected to the machine (and Svala ''still'' hooked up the whole time), it seemed only Sigurd had an idea of how to use it.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: If he really is Desmond, he ascended from a human being (albeit with large amounts of Isu DNA) to a future-predicting computer program after his death. In any case, by his own admission, he wasn't always like this and now he's living a "new life".
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Introduces himself as "the reader of the calculations," shortened to "The Reader" in the subtitles.
* PhosphorEssence: He's a being of pure light in the shape of a man.
* TheSpock: Has a very methodical mindset, and too rigid. Layla manages to assist by suggesting that he consider new variables he'd never thought of.
* WasOnceAMan: His mention of his current situation being a "new life" implies he was originally an average human being before becoming what he is now.

[[folder:Hushed Voice (Major Spoilers)]]
!!Ezio Auditore
-->See Characters/AssassinsCreedEzioAuditore
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Spoiler Character]]
!!Isu AI

An artificial intelligence met by Eivor in the station underneath Manius' Sanctum.

* BenevolentAI: An artificial intelligence that's nothing but polite and helpful toward Eivor.
* InterfaceWithAFamiliarFace: It uses the appearance of Rah Cel'eze, an Isu worker at the Ring Station before the catastrophe.
* RagnarokProofing: Zigzagged. He's functioning fine enough, but over the last seventy-five thousand years some of his systems have broken, and he can't control them.
* {{Technobabble}}: Engages in a bit of it, which goes over Eivor's head, though she is at least able to understand the bit about "kill everything in Britain" easy enough.
* TranslatorMicrobes: Possibly combined with InstantExpert, since he switches to Eivor's language after realizing she can't understand him.
* YouAreACreditToYourRace: Tells Eivor she's a surprisingly good piece of engineering after she fixes the problem.

!Inhabitants of the Nine Realms

[[folder:General tropes]]

* AmbiguousSituation: Since the Asgard [=/=] Jotunheim [=/=] Dawn of Ragnarok arcs are a version of Odin's memories, filtered through Eivor having taking some potions, it makes it a little unclear just who and what each being is.
* FantasticRacism: The Aesir don't get on with the Vanir, and vice-versa. The Jotnar don't get on with anyone else, and the Muspels want to kill everyone.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: The inhabitants of Elfheim, who are interpreted as elves. They're all dead by the time Odin's memories start. Apparently they're ancient even by Isu standards, since the inhabitants of Svartelheim refer to them as such.
* RecursivePrecursors: The flashbacks are a version of events that happened seventy-five thousand years ago, but exploring Svartelheim mentions the dwarves built their city on top of someone else's civilization.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ivaldi]]
!!Ivaldi

One of the greatest dwarfen blacksmiths, kept captive by Odin in Asgard.

* TheCynic: Understandable, since he's a permanent prisoner-with-a-job of Odin's. [[spoiler:And then later on because his people have been invaded and systematically wiped out by the Muspels.]]
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Zig-zags it. At Svaldi's funeral, he admits he never liked the guy but then does, however begrudgingly admit the guy was a great blacksmith.
* UltimateBlacksmith: All dwarfs are the Ultimate Blacksmith anyway, and this guy is considered one of, if not ''the'' Ultimate Blacksmith. Which is why Odin has him cooped up to begin with.

[[folder:The Muspels]]

The inhabitants of Muspelheim, led by Surtr, engaging in an invasion of Svartelheim at the beginning of "Dawn of Ragnarok".

* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Pretty much every Muspel is an evil jerkass, save two. And they don't make it to the end of the story. That said, while sneaking around Odin can overhear some of them shooting the breeze.
* AmbiguousSituation: What they actually are is yet unclear, though in all likelihood they, like the Jotnar, are another faction of Isu being filtered in a way Eivor can understand, backed up by the Muspel Helmet being a First Civilization helmet.
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Fashion for Muspel women involves sports bras, and nothing below the chest.
* FantasticRacism: Muspels hate the Jotuns, and the Jotuns hate them right back. Their team-up to conquer everything is acknowledged by everyone as being a temporary thing.
* KillItWithFire: They are fire giants. Their invasion consists largely of roasting everyone and everything in sight with fire and [=/=] or lava.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: Muspels dissolve on death.
* VolcanicVeins: All Muspels have glowing orange veins.

[[folder:Surtr]]
!!Surtr

The leader of the Muspels, a Fire Giant destined to kill Odin, and who has led the invasion of Svartelheim and the abduction of Baldr.

* AbusiveParents: Thanks to Sinmara's influence, he's started being pretty terrible to his son, Glod and daughter, Eysa. Odin's suggestion of taking the latter hostage is shot down by her, who retorts Odin would have to take someone he ''cares about'' hostage.
* BigBad: As the leader of the Muspels, the events of "Dawn of Ragnarok" are because of him.
* FinalBoss: The last enemy Odin must face in "Dawn of Ragnarok".
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In his fight with Odin, takes time to squish Brokkir in passing.]]
* LargeAndInCharge: King of the Fire Giants, and he's even bigger than most of them.
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: [[spoiler:Odin's killing him accidentally kick-starts Ragnarok.]]
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Surtr's content to hang back and let his people do the invading and killing for him.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: One of Odin's problems killing him is Surtr can just come back, so he has to find a workaround to make sure Surtr is perma-dead. It's later speculated that his resurrecting is fuelled by elven souls.

[[folder:Sinmara]]
!!Sinmara

Surtr's wife, and leader of his armies.

* DirtyCoward: For all her boasting and posturing, Sinmara has a habit of turning tail and running when faced with an ''actual'' fight, or summoning goons to help her.
* TheDragon: She's Surtr's wife and right-hand woman.
* TheHeavy: With Surtr OrcusOnHisThrone for most of the game, it's Sinmara that does most of the antagonizing.
* ItsPersonal: Abducting and torturing Baldr for no apparent reason other than the sheer evil already put her on Odin's list, but then [[spoiler:killing Frigg and revealing she'd killed Baldr quite some time ago makes it extremely personal for Odin.]]
* {{Sadist}}: She just seems to enjoy making everyone around her suffer, Odin most of all. [[spoiler:She makes sure to leave Baldr's body where Odin will find it just so he can feel the most anguish.]]
* TheStarscream: In the backstory, she once tried overthrowing Surtr. Damn near came close, too. And then at the last minute declared they were getting married instead.
* WickedStepmother: To Surtr's children, poisoning him against them, for no adequately explained reason. [[spoiler:Eventually stepping up to killing one of them.]]

[[folder:Glod]]
!!Prince Glod

One of Surtr's children by his first wife.

* ArcVillain: For part of Svartelheim.
* BadBoss: His underlings aren't fond of working for him. He tends to do horrible things to them if they fail.
* BerserkButton: Don't try to compliment him. A note found in an occupied dwarf city has its writer noting he tried doing this. Glod burned his bar down and made him walk through the streets naked.
* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Sinmala refers to him as a mongrel due to him being half-Muspel, half-Jotnar.
* OurWerebeastsAreDifferent: Occasionally turns into a wolf, doing so in his fight with Odin.
* SiblingYinYang: With his sister, Eysa, who's far more pleasant than he.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Some notes found in his room show Glod just wants some love and affection from his father.

[[folder:Eysa]]
!!Eysa

Surtr's daughter.

* BenevolentBoss: As far as Muspels go, the dwarves note she's actually pretty reasonable, for someone who's invaded and enslaved them. She's not as liable to suddenly incinerate them just because she's in a bad mood.
* EnemyMine: Makes it clear there's no love lost between her and Odin, but she hates what's going on so much she's willing to team up with him regardless.
* HealingFactor: Has a special magical necklace which allows her to heal, apparently a smaller version of the means her father uses to revive himself.
* AMotherToHerMen: Eysa goes after Calder because he borrows some of her underlings and uses them as fuel for his experiments.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:Like all other Muspels, her body disintegrates when she dies.]]
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: The first time Odin encounters her, she's pretending to be a statue until his back is turned.
* TokenHeroicOrc: The nicest Muspel encountered, even helping Odin, however reluctantly. [[spoiler:Naturally, she dies for it.]]
* UnstoppableRage: Once she learns what Calder is doing, she charges after him, slicing through several Muspels in her rampage. Unfortunately, it also gets her gradually injured and finally caught, requiring Odin to save her.

[[folder:Calder]]
!!Calder

A Muspel lieutenant.

* BaldOfEvil: Not a hair on his head, and an evil jerk willing to kill his own people in the name of twisted science.
* IShallTauntYou: Spends his fight with Odin taunting him about experimenting on Baldr.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Eysa does him in with the very object he'd been using on her troops, and which he'd been planning to use on her.
* MadLove: Is genuinely and unshakingly devoted to Sinmara (which, given she's married to Surtr is probably asking for trouble). She evidently does not return that love.
* MadScientist: Even with the trappings of Eivor's vision, he's still pretty plainly one, testing an ancient soul-sucking device on random people.
%%zce* TortureTechnician: Shawn's write-up of him pretty much calls him one.

[[folder:Malvigr]]
!!Malvigr

A Jotun, and Suttungr's right hand.

* TheDragon: Suttungr's right hand and chief assassin (Shaun takes care to note the lack of a capital "a" in there), in Svartelheim chasing after some traitors.
* EnemyMine: As a Jotun, she should hate Odin for the whole "stealing from Suttungr" thing, but she offers to put it aside in the name of taking out Sutr. Odin's not willing to go along with this.
* FlashStep: Like some Jotun mooks, she has the ability, using it in her conversation to port around while chatting with Odin.
* KickTheDog: When first seen, she's hanged Fjalar and Galar, two dwarves who'd (supposedly) killed Suttungr's father and had tried to sell Odin out to a pack of Malvigr's hunters.
* NoodleIncident: She and Angrboda once got into a fight. The cause and details aren't given, but Malvigr won by a knock-out.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Killed in the questline she's introduced in, after a brief talk and a fight, then she gets her soul sucked out by the Salakar.
* WorthyOpponent: Odind despises her because some time in the past she and Odin's son Vindarr got into a fight, which Vindarr lost. Odin's never forgiven his son for this, but Malvigr tells him it was closer than he's been told.

[[folder:Tyra]]
!!Tyra

A dwarf held captive by the Muspels who Odin frees as part of his fight against Glod.
----
* DeadpanSnarker: Some of her dialogue is snarking at an entirely oblivious Odin.
* DefiantCaptive: Found by following the yelling coming from her cell. Should Odin sneak her out, the Muspels figure she's being taken away for mouthing off too often.
* EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: "[Unintelligible]"
* TheUnintelligible: Tyra only speaks the dwarf common tongue, which the Animus helpfully translates into modern Welsh. Odin doesn't understand her, so the game helpfully translates ''that'' into "[unintelligible]".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Sindri]]
!!Sindri

A Dwarven blacksmith who, along with his brother Brokkr, helped forge several famous items belonging to the Aesir.
----
* ColdBloodedTorture: Subjected to it by the Muspels once they caught him. To his credit, Sindri clearly never told them the location of the dwarf shelters.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:The Muspels roasted his body so badly it's near unrecognizable at first sight. And they yanked his soul out with the Salakar.]]
* TooDumbToLive: Sneaking into a Muspel controlled area just for a freaking ''drink''. Odin even mutters how stupid this was of him. And yet Sindri's supposed to be the ''smart'' brother. His database entry suggests that the invasion had simply pushed him over the DespairEventHorizon.
* UltimateBlacksmith: He and brother Brokkr are considered to be ''the'' blacksmiths, alongside Ivaldi. Debate rages between them about who exactly is better.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Nidhoggr]]
!!Nidhoggr

A dragon Odin meets in his quest to find a way to revive Baldr.
----
* AbusiveParents: He has children solely so he can have another snack.
* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: According to Hel, no-one had defeated Nidhoggr in a fight before Odin.
* {{Dracolich}}: He's an undead corpse dragon who spews poison and just cannot die.
* MarathonBoss: First, Odin has to disable three of his four legs, then attack his neck while he's weak. Then he has to repeat the process. Then Nidhogg revives himself with some assistance from the local souls, potentially all the way up to full health if Odin doesn't interrupt in time.
* PoisonousPerson: Spits poison at Odin, and his underbelly leaks poison, making trying to get underneath him to avoid his attacks a risky process.
[[/folder]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShohrehAghdashloo

* BareYourMidriff: Fashion for Muspel women involves sports bras, and nothing below the chest.

* BenevolentAI: Nothing but polite and helpful toward Eivor.

* TheComputerIsYourFriend: Nothing but polite and helpful toward Eivor.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: [[spoiler:Halfway through his boss fight, he suddenly asks Eivor if they think Varin is in Valhalla or Hel. The question ends up shaking Eivor just long enough for Ivarr to land a surprise attack.]]
