	By the second half of the 10th century, the Hidden Ones had established a presence in Sweden. Regarding King [[Olof Björnsson]]'s rule over the country as tyrannical, the Hidden Ones secretly [[poison]]ed him around 975. The Brotherhood's [[Mentor]], [[Torgny the Lawspeaker]], then used his influence to ensure that the late king's brother, [[Eric the Victorious\|Eric]], succeeded him and not ~~his~~ nephew [[Styrbjörn the Strong\|Styrbjörn]], whom the Hidden Ones feared would become another tyrant like his father. After Eric's coronation, Styrbjörn, feeling robbed of his birthright, left Sweden but vowed to return one day and depose "The Usurper".<ref name="~~ACLD:FOTG~~">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Fate of the Gods]]''</ref>		By the second half of the 10th century, the Hidden Ones had established a presence in Sweden.
