'''Rafn One-Arm''', also known as '''Rafn''', was a [[Denmark|Danish]] [[Vikings|Viking]] who fought under ''[[jarl]]'' [[Osbern]] during the [[Viking expansion|Viking invasion]] of [[England]] in the 9th century.

==Biography==
There was little known about Rafn's past, except that he was sworn under ''jarl'' Osbern and fought in the [[Battle of Ashdown]]. The battle proved to be a Saxon victory as many warriors and their jarls fell in combat. After Osbern's death in the battle,<ref name="Chapter 13">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga]]'' — Chapter 13</ref> Rafn joined [[Geirmund Hel-hide|Geirmund Hjörrsson]] as a member of the [[Hel-hides]] after seeing him as worthy as did other former warriors of Osbern.<ref name="Chapter 14">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 14</ref>

Along with Geirmund and [[Thorgrim]], Rafn commanded a ship as a fear tactic by burning a cross for the Saxons of [[Wallingford|Wælingford]]. Altogether, the Hel-hides and the tactics worked as the settlement was taken with no losses. As a result, Guthrum later congratulated them on their victory as all of their reputations grew.<ref name="Chapter 15">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 15</ref>

At the [[Battle of Meretun]], Rafn joined the Hel-hides and Guthrum but was struck in the leg. Luckily, fellow warrior [[Vetr]] shielded him as the battle was won by the Danes. After a truce was found between the Danes and King [[Alfred the Great|Alfred]],<ref name="Chapter 17">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 17</ref> Rafn followed the Hel-hides into [[London|Lunden]] along with the [[Great Heathen Army]]. However, their stay turned sour once Geirmund and [[Aslef]] were ambushed, with Aslef mortally wounded. Rafn was one of the five Hel-hides who agreed to accompany Geirmund on his task to stray their attacker, [[Krok Uxiblóð]], away from the other Hel-hides.<ref name="Chapter 18">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 18</ref>

===Running from Krok===
Moving across Mercia, Rafn was part of Geirmund's small company as they came across a small Saxon town. However, Geirmund deduced that the town was overrun by Krok as Rafn, [[Steinólfur]], [[Skjalgi]], and Vetr were told to scout the town itself. Geirmund planned to "go" to the blacksmith with [[Birna Gormsdóttir]], while Rafn and Skjalgi tried to find an escape route. Geirmund's plan worked as the other four Hel-hides cut down three of Krok's warriors and then fled to Rafn and Skjalgi.<ref name="Chapter 18">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 19</ref> Altogether, they soon find themselves a temporary base at [[Medeshamstede]], a monastery led by Abbot [[Torthred]], a former acquaintance of Geirmund.<ref name="Chapter 20">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 20</ref>

Days later, the Hel-hides learned of the peace between Danes and Mercians have ended. However, they all remained peaceful, even once Rafn and Vetr were sent to find Torthred's sister, [[Tova]]. After a day, both warriors came back to inform Geirmund and Torthred of her capture by Krok. Within days, Geirmund met with Krok's men with Tova besides them as he concocted a plan. Rafn, Vetr, and Geirmund dressed up as monks giving silver to Krok's warriors as ransom for Tova. However, after duping Krok's warriors, the three warriors killed Tova's four captors and escaped back to the monastery.<ref name="Chapter 21">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 21</ref>

Rafn was present when his leader Geirmund fought Krok finally in the presence of the [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] and [[Sea-Chariot|her]] [[longship]] crew, to which Geirmund won. However, once Krok's men tried to kill him, Rafn joined his fellow warriors and Eivor's company to kill the rest of Krok's men.<ref name="Chapter 22">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 22</ref> Afterwards, the Hel-hides joined Eivor back to her settlement, [[Ravensthorpe]]. However, he stayed with his company in Ravensthorpe, except Geirmund, who went to visit his parents in [[York|Jorvik]].<ref name="Chapter 23">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 23</ref> At some point, they soon joined Guthrum's forces in [[Cambridge|Grantebridge]].<ref name="Chapter 25">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 25</ref>

===The Fight for Wessex===
Rafn soon met his fellow Hel-hides and Geirmund came back from Jorvik to lead them under Guthrum's command. Soon, all Hel-hides were told to raid and become a vital distraction for Alfred to attack, in exchange for ten pounds of silver for every Hel-hide.<ref name="Chapter 25"/> Rafn and Vetr were instructed to scout for any villages or towns to raid, but after every raid, the Hel-hides noticed the guards have gone to fight for King Alfred. Rafn and Vetr were told to find Alfred's hometown to raid next.<ref name="Chapter 26">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 26</ref>

Taking Skjalgi to scout with them, Rafn and Vetr soon came under attack by five guards. Although defeating them, Rafn became injured in the arm as Steinólfur went to treat him. However, from their fight, Rafn tortured a guard to obtain information, which was Alfred and his army marched from [[Reading]]um and that his hometown is [[Wanating]]. From the scouts' information, the Hel-hides raided the area but only found an abundance of food. They all feasted that night. However, the next day, the Viking company noticed they were going to be besieged by Alfred's army on the outside. Luckily, they held their ground, despite some losses, but saw Alfred's army heading west.<ref name="Chapter 27">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 27</ref>

After sending their fallen warriors, including Thorgrim, to [[Valhalla (afterlife)|Valhalla]], they followed the Saxons' trail. Meanwhile, Rafn had been hiding that his arm continued to fester. Nevertheless, Rafn, Vetr, and Birna noticed Saxon thieves among the trail's dead corpses and interrogated them. They all learned [[Ubba Ragnarsson]] fought and lost his life against Alfred's army. Afterwards, Rafn followed his company to make camp at [[Selwood]] before the next battle against the Saxons.<ref name="Chapter 28">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 28</ref>

====The new namesake====
After being informed by [[Eskil]] of the [[Battle of Chippenham|battle]] at [[Chippenham]], Rafn readied himself along his fellow warriors. However, he falls over and became fevered. Upon inspection, his arm grew to be too infected as amputation seemed to be the only course for his survival. Aided by Steinólfur, Vetr, Skjalgi, Eskil, and Geirmund, Rafn lost his arm as he later rested to recover. Vetr promised to care for him as the rest went to aid in the battle.<ref name="Chapter 29">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 29</ref>

Rafn recovered moderately as Vetr guarded him. Luckily, Geirmund returned after making a note of Alfred's current location after he fled the battle. Offering his horse, Geirmund let Rafn and Vetr ride in front to make sure Rafn stayed warm. However, the battle was won but with many losses, especially Geirmund's father, [[Hjorr Halfsson]].<ref name="Chapter 30">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 30</ref> To make matters worse, Rafn and the Hel-hides saw and heard Guthrum's reluctance to fight and soon learned of his plan to surrender and convert to Christianity. After a confrontation between Geirmund and Guthrum, the Hel-hides left Chippenham and started on a new journey, following Geirmund once more.<ref name="Chapter 31">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Chapter 31</ref>

After the battle, Rafn recovered and received the name, Rafn One-Arm, as he and other warriors under Geirmund continued to raid, trade, and prosper along the seas as the Hel-hides.<ref name="Epilogue">''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Geirmund's Saga'' — Epilogue</ref>
