Biography
Abbos Cernuus was believed to have been born in the middle of 9th century. As a monk, one of his works was the De bellis Parisiacæ urbis or Bella Parisiacæ urbis, which detailed events of the siege and its aftermath. After Charles the Fat's death, Abbos regarded Odo of France to be the legitimate successor of West Francia.
During the mass departure of the Hidden Ones from the Roman provinces of Britannia and Gaul, a few Hidden Ones remained behind. By the 9th century, Abbos 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 soldiers backed by the Frankish Rite of the Order of the Ancients who attempted to break into them.[1]
During her time in Francia, the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir managed to unlock the entrance to the abandoned Hidden Ones' bureau in Paris and explored it. Before Eivor could leave, she heard the soft footsteps of Abbos, who had left her a strange letter, signed with AC, with an apology for the dead soldiers and a poem:[1]
- "This place of honor forever holding, the deeds that were done
We abide always many in number, yet together are one
Whose firm faith and whose lonely labor, serve only the fight
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.[1]
From Eivor's investigation at Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Viking found a dead body and account of a cloaked figure guarding the place from any raiders or unwelcomed visitors. Abbos happened to be a monk of the church and actually took part in making sure no one desecrated the holy grounds. The populace thought and claimed that the figure was the ghost of Saint Germain protecting the abbey.[2]
