	Rig Reidarasson was born at sea during a storm, surrounded by his mother, her six sisters, his grandmother, and his sister. According to the stories, Rig did not cry during his tumultuous birth. As a boy, he was known within Frosta for spinning tales of his visions to all the folk of the ''~~[[wikt:~~fylki~~\|fylki]]~~''.

	After some winters passed, Rig, now twelve-years-old, was mighty but lean, a great warrior that fought in great battles along the Northern Way. He was constantly defending his family's clan and was met with strong opposition from a southern clan, the [[Whale Clan]] led by [[Ergon Blade-Tongue]]. In the midst of battle, Rig allegedly grabbed a rival warrior and clenched him so hard in a head lock that he tore the man's head clean off. Keeping the skull of his enemy, he demanded that from that day forth, any man who wished to challenge him to battle would have to talk to the skull. This gave him his second nickname, '''Rig Skull-Talker'''.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – ''Rigsogur'', II.

	At least ten years later, Rig and Solveig had had ten children; six boys and four girls. Solveig was then kidnapped by Bolli Ergonsson who had allied with the ancients lords of [[Elmet]] who had grown angry with Rig's rising wealth and warring. Rig set out to rescue her but was pushed back into the [[Vale of Woden]], the only path which led to their castle within the mountains. Being unable to attack the Elmetian fortress from the sea, Rig ordered his men carry their ships over the mountain. Many died in the attempt but it eventually paid off as when the enemy spotted the golden dragon figureheads, their superstition got the better of them and they panicked. Taking advantage of the turmoil, Rig destroyed the entire kingdom, rescued Solveig and beheaded Bolli. Rig and the people of Goldness then celebrated for eight nights. Rig was then also known as the '''Golden Flying Dragon'''.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – ''Rigsogur'', VI.

Rig set out to rescue her but was pushed back into the Vale of Woden, the only path which led to their castle within the mountains. Being unable to attack the Elmetian fortress from the sea, Rig ordered his men carry their ships over the mountain. Many died in the attempt but it eventually paid off as when the enemy spotted the golden dragon figureheads, their superstition got the better of them and they panicked. Taking advantage of the turmoil, Rig destroyed the entire kingdom, rescued Solveig and beheaded Bolli. Rig and the people of Goldness then celebrated for eight nights. Rig was then also known as the '''Golden Flying Dragon'''.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – ''Rigsogur'', VI. The Golden Dragon Who Climbed Mountains</ref>

	By this time, Rig's Isu past came back to him in the form of voices in his head. They repeatedly instructed him to "''ready [his] queen''", Rig then named Solveig "Queen of the North" much to the ridicule of the neighboring kingdoms. After again hearing from these voices, Rig called a ~~[[Witan]]~~ and invited the many nobles from [[Mercia]], [[Wessex]] and [[Northumbria]]. At the Witan, Solveig was dressed as a man calling herself the "King of Goldness", confusing many of the nobles present. After demanding tribute for their new pseudo-kingdom of Goldness, Rig killed all who refused to bend the knee to his Queen. This infamously stained his reputation as Solveig became known as the "Only Queen of England." After he had done as the voices commanded, he received another, naming him as Odin's perfect son, [[Heimdall]] and telling him to await his father in [[Himinbjörg]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla'' – ''Rigsogur'', VII.
