	At some point in the late 9th century, Eivor captured a young monk, [[Edward (monk)\|Edward]], during a raid of [[Readingum Abbey]] and brought him to Ravensthorpe, intending to hold him hostage for a ransom.

	Following Edward's latest failed escape attempt, Sigurd, Eivor and Hytham greeted him and Niels when they returned to Ravensthorpe. Moments later, Niels' father [[Gunnar (Niels' father)\|Gunnar]] arrived, shouting at his son for leaving their farm unattended, and tried to punch him, only to fall to the ground after Niels dodged his attack. Sigurd broke up the fight, pointing out that, while a skilled fighter, Niels was still young and should obey his father.

	Sometime later, after Niels returned from a mission to [[Scotland]], during which he had been accompanied by Edward and the Hidden One [[Adelaïde]], he met with Sigurd, Eivor, and Hytham at Ravensthorpe's longhouse to tell them about his adventure. He explained that he and his allies had fought a cult who were using an Isu [[Piece of Eden\|artifact]]—the [[Codex of Eden]]—to convert the population; that Adelaïde murdered Edward's brother [[Ecbert]] to acquire the Codex, resulting in Edward killing her and inadvertently destroying the artifact; and that he and Edward agreed to go their separate ways.

	By 889, Sigurd had permanently settled in Norway. When Eivor returned to Norway for three weeks in order to bid farewell to Harald Fairhair, Sigurd was reunited with his sister and took her to Alrekstad, showing her how much had changed in the years since their last visit there 12 years prior. Entering the longhouse, the two were greeted by Harald, who revealed he was planning an expedition to [[Iceland]] to aid his friend [[Ingólfr Arnarson]] and asked the pair if they would lead it.<ref name="Fare Thee Well, King Fair-Hair">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – ''[[The Last Chapter]]'' – [[Fare Thee Well, King Fair-Hair]]</ref>		By 889, Sigurd had permanently settled in Norway.

	Despite Sigurd's pleas to have one last adventure together, Eivor declined, explaining that she had only come to Norway to bid farewell to her friends, as she intended to leave England and travel further west past Iceland. Both Sigurd and Harald understood her decision and spent the night sharing stories of their [[Isu Era\|mutual distant pasts]] while drinking [[mead]] and eating roasted [[whale]].<ref name="Fare Thee Well, King Fair-Hair" />		Despite Sigurd's pleas to have one last adventure together, Eivor declined, explaining that she had only come to Norway to bid farewell to her friends, as she intended to leave England and travel further west past Iceland.

	While quite intelligent with a skill for politics and military tactics, Sigurd was easily manipulated by Basim, by playing on his desire for greatness.

	Even after learning that the "Valhalla" he and Eivor found was just a simulation, Sigurd was reluctant to leave it due to feeling like a nobody in the real world, while the simulation allowed him to live like a god.

	In 870, while his sister Eivor stayed in Norway to continue opposing her parents' killer [[Kjotve the Cruel]] and his [[Wolf Clan]], Sigurd embarked a journey to raid the lands in the East. In [[Constantinople]], Sigurd met and befriended the [[Assassins\|Hidden One]] [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]] and his [[Assassin apprentice\|apprentice]] [[Hytham]], learning many of their organization's customs.

	That same year, the Raven Clan finally defeated Kjotve and drove his clan out of Norway with the help of [[Harald Fairhair]]'s forces, allowing the latter to [[Unification of Norway\|unify]] Norway's petty kingdoms under his rule. After witnessing his father pledge loyalty to the soon-to-be King Harald, Sigurd was angered by Styrbjorn's decision, which had essentially robbed Sigurd of his birthright to become ''jarl''. Together with Eivor, Randvi and other members of the Raven Clan who were similarly dissatisfied, he migrated to [[England]], eventually settling in one of [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]]'s old camps, which was renamed to [[Ravensthorpe]].

	'''Sigurd Styrbjornsson''' (born 842) was a [[Viking]] ~~''[[jarl]]''~~ from [[Norway]] who settled in [[England]] with his [[Raven Clan\|clan]] during the 9th century. The son of ''jarl'' [[Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson]] of [[Fornburg]], he was the husband of [[Randvi]] and the older adoptive brother of [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], ~~who was~~ taken in ~~by Styrbjorn~~ at ~~the age of~~ nine ~~following~~ the ~~death~~ of her parents, [[Rosta]] and [[Varin]].

'''Sigurd Styrbjornsson''' (born 842) was a [[Viking]] from [[Norway]] who settled in [[England]] with his [[Raven Clan\|clan]] during the 9th century. The son of ''[[jarl]]'' [[Styrbjorn Sigvaldisson]] of [[Fornburg]], he was the husband of [[Randvi]] and the older adoptive brother of [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], whom Styrbjorn had taken in at nine years old after the murder of her parents, [[Rosta]] and [[Varin]]. Secretly, Sigurd was the [[Isu incarnation\|incarnation]] of the [[Isu]] [[Týr]], the [[Norse mythology\|Norse god]] of war and justice.

	In 870, while his sister Eivor stayed in Norway to continue opposing her parents' killer [[Kjotve the Cruel]] and his [[Wolf Clan]], Sigurd embarked a journey to raid the lands in the East. In [[Constantinople]], Sigurd met and befriended the [[Assassins\|Hidden One]] [[Basim ~~Ibn~~ Ishaq]] and his [[Assassin apprentice\|apprentice]] [[Hytham]], learning many of their organization's customs. In 872, Sigurd returned home along with Basim and Hytham and gifted Eivor a [[Hidden Blade]], the signature weapon of the Hidden Ones.

In 872, Sigurd returned home along with Basim and Hytham and gifted Eivor a [[Hidden Blade]], the signature weapon of the Hidden Ones.

	That same year, the Raven Clan finally defeated Kjotve and drove his clan out of Norway with the help of [[Harald Fairhair]]'s forces, allowing the latter to [[Unification of Norway\|unify]] Norway's petty kingdoms under his rule. After witnessing his father pledge loyalty to the soon-to-be King Harald, Sigurd was angered by Styrbjorn's decision, which had essentially robbed Sigurd of his birthright to become ''jarl''. Together with Eivor, Randvi, and other members of the Raven Clan who were similarly dissatisfied, he migrated to [[England]], eventually settling in one of [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]]'s old camps, which was renamed to [[Ravensthorpe]].

	Continuing his adventures in England, Sigurd traveled to [[Oxfordshire\|Oxenfordscire]], this time accompanied by both Eivor and Basim, where they searched for the paladin [[Fulke]] in the hopes of understanding Sigurd's [[Reborn Isu\|visions]]. However, ~~Sigurd was~~ betrayed and captured ~~by Fulke after~~ an encounter with King [[Alfred the Great\|Alfred]] of [[Wessex]]. ~~After~~ over a year in captivity, Fulke ~~was assassinated by Eivor, who~~ rescued ~~her brother~~, ~~though not before~~ Sigurd's ~~[[Isu\|~~mind had been unlocked]]. As Týr's ~~conscience~~ began ~~to manifest itself inside of him~~, Sigurd began to view himself as a god and distanced himself from Eivor and the rest of the Raven Clan, believing that they were a hinderance to his true destiny.

However, Fulke betrayed and captured him following an encounter with King [[Alfred the Great\|Alfred]] of [[Wessex]]. He spent over a year in captivity until Eivor assassinated Fulke and rescued him, but Sigurd's mind had long since been unlocked through severe torture. As Týr's memories began resurfacing, Sigurd began to view himself as a god and distanced himself from Eivor and the rest of the Raven Clan, believing that they were a hinderance to his true destiny.

	In 877, Sigurd decided to seek [[Valhalla (afterlife)\|Valhalla]] and traveled back to Norway alongside Eivor to find ~~the [[Yggdrasil\|Yggdrasil Chamber]]~~. After the siblings connected themselves to Yggdrasil and were seemingly transported to Valhalla, Eivor eventually realized that they had merely entered a simulation and convinced her brother to return to the ~~mortal world. There~~, they were ~~ambushed~~ by Basim, who was ~~secretly~~ [[Loki]] ~~reborn~~ and sought revenge against Eivor, [[Odin]]'s new form. After helping Eivor defeat Basim and trap him in the Valhalla simulation, Sigurd reflected on his leadership of the Raven Clan and his relationship with his sister. Ultimately, he decided to appoint Eivor as ''jarlskona'' of their clan, believing her to be a better suited leader than him.		In 877, Sigurd decided to seek [[Valhalla (afterlife)\|Valhalla]] and traveled back to Norway alongside Eivor to find it. After the siblings connected themselves to the supercomputer Yggdrasil beneath [[Hordaland\|Hordafylke]] and were seemingly transported to Valhalla, Eivor eventually realized that they had merely entered a simulation and convinced her brother to return to reality. Once uncoupled from the machine, they were caught off-guard by an ambush from Basim, who himself was [[Loki]] incarnate and sought revenge against Eivor, [[Odin]]'s new form. After helping Eivor defeat Basim and trap him in the Valhalla simulation, Sigurd reflected on his leadership of the Raven Clan and his relationship with his sister.

	Regardless of Sigurd's decision in the base game, ''[[The Last Chapter]]'' update released in 2022 implies that Sigurd eventually chose to permanently settle in Norway. Despite this, the graphic novel ''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – The Hidden Codex]]'', first released in France in January 2023 and set after the events of ''Valhalla''{{'}}s main story, shows Sigurd living in Ravensthorpe. One possible explanation for the inconsistency is that Sigurd initially decided to return with Eivor to England, before settling in Norway at a later date.
