History
Legacy
In late 2016, Styrbjörn's descendant Sean Molloy relived his memories under the supervision of Templars Victoria Bibeau and Isaiah at the Aerie facility. After Isaiah went rogue, he kidnapped Sean to further explore his memories in a secluded and secured area. Suffering from an extreme case of the Bleeding Effect, Sean experienced a hallucination of Styrbjörn, who appeared in the abandoned Animus room and convinced him to free himself from his restraints.[1]
Later, during Sean and Isaiah's final confrontation, Sean challenged him to a duel, prompting Isaiah to ask whether he was speaking to Styrbjörn or Sean.[1]
Personality and traits
Harald Bluetooth attempted multiple times to use the Devotion Prong to influence Styrbjörn, but to no avail. The prince appeared unaffected by the artifact's powers, swearing loyalty only to himself. This immunity to the Piece of Eden surprised Harald, who repeatedly tried and failed to control him. It is likely that Styrbjörn possessed a high concentration of Isu DNA, granting him resistance to the artifact's effects, though this remains unconfirmed.[1]
