After [[eavesdropping]] on their conversation, Niamh made her presence known.

	After rescuing their target [[Ebba]] from Cyrus, an injured Hytham and a tired Niamh carried their new information source back into the Hawk's Nest as Niamh tended to both Hytham and Ebba. After she independently escorted Ebba out of Lunden before the Hidden Ones could question her, Niamh came back to an angry Marcella. However, she stated that she had [[Interrogation\|interrogated]] Ebba and gave over documents Niamh had recovered from Cyrus' room at the keep. Hytham agreed with Niamh's actions, much to Marcella's frustration. The Hidden Ones told Niamh that the hunt for the [[Swords of Eden\|Sword of Eden]] [[Excalibur]] had increased due to the Order's partnership with the [[Descendants of the Round Table]] and that the sword was a symbol for ruling England. Niamh disclosed her knowledge of the Order's sinister nunnery to her allies, who noted it as a growing concern.<ref name="Chapter 11">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Sword of the White Horse'' — Chapter 11</ref>		After rescuing their target [[Ebba]] from Cyrus, an injured Hytham and a tired Niamh carried their new information source back into the Hawk's Nest as Niamh tended to both Hytham and Ebba.

	In the late 9th century, the Hawk's Nest became a new Hidden Ones [[Assassin bureau\|~~bureau~~]], ~~replacing~~ the [[Londinium bureau]], ~~and it was under~~ the ~~control of the Hidden One [[Marcella]] of [[Rome]]~~. In 878, the Hidden Ones [[Hytham]] and [[Marcella]] met with ~~their invitee,~~ [[Niamh of Argyll]], ~~who was intercepted~~ the ~~group from~~ the ~~letter sent~~ to [[Nimue]].

In 878, the Hidden Ones [[Hytham]] and [[Marcella]] of [[Rome]], who led the Hawk's Nest, met with [[Niamh of Argyll]], secretly a member of the [[Women of the Mist]] that had intercepted an invitation to the similarly named [[Nimue]] to join the order. After a brief discussion, Niamh rested before she had to prove herself to Hytham and Marcella, the latter of whom doubted her abilities and loyalty.<ref name="Chapter 03">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Sword of the White Horse]]'' — Chapter 3</ref> The next day, Niamh met with the Hidden Ones again as Marcella wanted to test her skillset. However, Hytham took the initiative instead and evaluated Niamh immediately. Jumping from the bureau's window, Hytham performed a [[Leap of Faith\|leap]] towards a haystack as Niamh followed suit. After Niamh demonstrated her ability to [[Blending\|blend]] and to hide for Hytham, the pair returned to the Hawk's Nest, only to encounter an irritated Marcella waiting for them. Within the bureau, Niamh informed the Hidden Ones of the disappearances of some nuns and the possible connection with a group known as the [[Order of the Ancients]].<ref name="Chapter 04">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Sword of the White Horse'' — Chapter 4</ref>

	After a tense moment, Marcella and Hytham divulged the history between the Order and the Hidden Ones as they assigned a task to Niamh to find and assassinate one of the Order members, Father [[Deoric]]. Given full autonomy, Niamh hesitantly ~~agrees~~ as Marcella shared more information about the [[Scholar\|priest]].<ref name="Chapter 04"/> Before leaving, she met Hytham, who asked her ~~about any information about~~ the [[Women of the Mist]] and a possible alliance with them. ~~However~~, Niamh ~~lied by promising~~ to find any intel about the group and then left for [[Cote]].<ref name="Chapter 05">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Sword of the White Horse'' — Chapter 5</ref> After her mission, Niamh arrived back at Hawk's Nest, only to find the Hidden Ones ~~and~~ their ally, the seeress [[Valka]] of the [[Raven Clan]].
