Adding more clue unlocks. Unlike as described in the Biography (and in the in-game note being called "Note Taken From the Crozier") my killing Herefrith did not directly unlock the clue trail; either that information is incorrect or I somehow didn't fulfill the condition properly.

			The first clue that Eivor receives for identifying Havelok can be obtained from assassinating either [[Patrick]], The Anvil at the smithy in [[Oxford\|Oxeneforda]], [[Eanbhert]], The Vellum at his ivy-covered house at the docks of [[Gloucester\|Glowecestre]], or the [[Zealots\|Zealot]] Osgar, who patrols in Lincolnscire. It may also be found conspicuously-displayed on a lectern in [[Bolingbroc Castle]].

			Assassinating Havelok may provide a clue to the identity of Eanbhert, if it has not already been obtained elsewhere. His death may also provide clues to the identities of [[Beneseck]], The Bell, and [[Heika]], The Sickle.

			Havelok shares a trait with [[Gunilla]] in that his death can unlock up to three new trails of Order targets. He and Eanbhert have a "reversible order" relationship—much like with [[Yohanes Loukas]] and Heika—in that the death of one can open the trail leading to the other.

	Havelok's cryptonym of "{{Wiki\|Billhook}}" may be a reference to his occupation as a farmer, given its usage as an agriculture tool. His name is possibly a variation of the name Havelock, which is of [[Scandinavia\|Scandinavian]] and {{Wiki\|Old Norse}} origin meaning "sea competition."
