Gifle (died 870s), also known as The Ash-Spear, was an Anglo-Saxon member of the Order of the Ancients's Wardens of Wealth sect in the 9th century, holding the title Palatinus. Gifle worked alongside bandits at a camp called the Forest Hideout.
Biography[edit | edit source]
A weird inclusion of the Order, Gifle never cared about the rules and hierarchy of the organization. Nevertheless, Gifle saw that after the Order's bidding, he attained a great amount of freedom filled with mead and debauchery. With his combat skills and shrewd decisions, Gilfe rose to the rank of Palatinus and began to create relationships between various groups of bandits and use them for the Order's desires.[1]
During the 870s, the title, The Ash-Spear, was found when the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir discovered a clue. The first clue of three dictated of a tall Roman tower northeast of Northwic in East Anglia. At the tower, a note was seen within a bandit camp, on top of a cart of goods. The second clue stated that one needed to investigate a bandit camp between Britannia's Watch and Thetford Village. Within this camp, the final clue was found on a nearby bench in the camp. The clue stated the location and identity of The Ash-Spear, whose name was Gifle. Gifle's location was revealed to be at the left of Thetford's Forest, south of Roman ruins near Britannia's Watch, at a bandit camp called the Forest Hideout. Gifle was seen among the bandits and talking with them. Quickly, Gifle was assassinated by Eivor within the camp. Greatly damaging the ties between bandit groups and the Order, Gifle's death provided Eivor with his medallion from his personal effects.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The first clue that Eivor receives for identifying Gifle can be obtained from assassinating either Mucel, The Lathe at Buckingham's docks in Oxenefordscire, or the Zealot Wuffa, who patrols in East Anglia. Assassinating Gifle provides no clues leading to other Order members. Any trail that led to him ends at him. Notably, the first clue, whether it is obtained from Mucel or Wuffa, is specifically titled "Note Taken from The Lathe," rather than the more generic "Note Found on Order Member" used for many others. This indicates that Mucel was always intended to be the sole starting point for investigating Gifle.
Although Gifle is called the "Ash-Spear," he fights like a "Goliath" type enemy rather than a Pikeman type.
Gifle joined the Order purely out of a personal desire for money and mead, rather than belief in the Order's tenets. His situation thus greatly resembles that of Thomas Hickey of the Colonial Rite in Assassin's Creed III.
