==Biography==
During the mass departure of the Hidden Ones from the [[Roman Empire|Roman]] provinces of [[Great Britain|Britannia]] and {{Wiki|Roman Gaul|Gaul}}, a few Hidden Ones remained behind. By the 9th century, AC was one of those who chose to remain behind and dedicated themselves to keeping the former bureaus in [[Paris]] and the surrounding cityside safe, assassinating [[soldier]]s backed by the [[Parisian Rite of the Templar Order|Frankish Rite]] of the [[Order of the Ancients]] who attempted to break into them.<ref name="Hidden">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]] – [[The Siege of Paris]]'' – [[Hidden]]</ref>
 
During her time in Francia, the [[Vikings|Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] managed to unlock the entrance to the abandoned Hidden Ones' [[Lutetia bureau|bureau]] in Paris and explored it. Before Eivor could leave, she heard the soft footsteps of AC, who had left her a strange letter with an apology for the dead soldiers and a poem:<ref name="Hidden" />
:''"This place of honor forever holding, the deeds that were done<br>We abide always many in number, yet together are one<br>Whose firm faith and whose lonely labor, serve only the fight<br>I must yet stay unknown in the darkness, so you may work in the light."''
Respecting AC's request to remain anonymous, Eivor decided to keep the short sword [[Joyeuse]] as a gift after unlocking it from inside the bureau.<ref name="Hidden"/>
