'''Fasti''' (died c. 870) was a [[Vikings|Viking]] warrior and kinsman to [[Ubba Ragnarsson]] who went to [[England]] during the [[Viking expansion]], in the late 9th century.

==Biography==
One day, Fasti came upon [[Geirmund Hel-hide]] while collecting oysters for food. Geirmund introduced himself and asked whether there was room at the fire for him, as he was alone and hungry,<ref name = "Chapter 09">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga]]'' – Chapter 9</ref> having just washing ashore after jumping into the stormy [[North Sea]] to allay his [[longship]] crew's superstitions.<ref name="ACVGS Chapter 7">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' – Chapter 7</ref>

Fasti gave Geirmund the basket of oysters for him to carry and lead him to their camp at [[Ancarig]], where the Danes had stationed themselves waiting to see if the {{Wiki|anchorite}} [[Torthred]] could die twice, believing he was a living-dead creature. They ate, and a short time later that night, Fasti surprised Geirmund as he stole one of their [[boat]]s. Fasti drew breath to shout an alarm, but Geirmund plunged his [[Short blade|knife]] in Fasti's throat before he could cry out, killing him.<ref name = "Chapter 09"/>

==Legacy==
After [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]] learned of Fasti's murder, he demanded either ''{{Wiki|weregild}}'' of eighteen pounds or Geirmund's death in compensation.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' – Chapter 22</ref> His commander [[Krok]] decided to hunt the [[Hel-hides]] and their leader, believing it would be enough to have Halfdan make him a ''[[jarl]]'',<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' – Chapter 18</ref> but the Hel-hides provoked him into a prolonged chase for many miles, during which they eliminated his hunting party one by one. Krok was ultimately by Geirmund in a ''{{Wiki|holmgang}}'' witnessed by [[Eivor Varinsdottir]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' – </ref>
