	During the [[Isu Era]], the [[Æsir]] [[Odin]] performed two unique assassination types in the dwarven realm of [[Svartálfaheimr]]: the "raven assassination" and the "teleport assassination", both of which were done with help of the [[Hugr-Rip]], a gauntlet Odin wore that allowed him to steal the powers of giant [[raven]]s and the ''[[jötnar]]''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' - [[Gift to the God]]</ref>		During the [[Isu Era]], the [[Æsir]] [[Odin]] performed two unique assassination types in the dwarven realm of [[Svartálfaheimr]]: the "raven assassination" and the "teleport assassination", both of which were done with help of the [[Hugr-Rip]], a gauntlet Odin wore that allowed him to steal the powers of giant [[raven]]s and the ''[[jötnar]]''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[Gift to the God]]</ref>

	In the 5th century BCE, the ''[[Mercenary\|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]] used the [[Spear of Leonidas]] as a way to perform early assassinations, known as "stealth kills," in a similar fashion to the Hidden Blade.
