| '''Abbos Cernuus''' was a Benedictine monk, who was an eyewitness to the [[Siege of Paris (885–886)|Siege of Paris]] from 885 to 886. Under the pseudonym, '''AC''', Abbos was also one of the last [[Hidden One]]s that operated in the [[Francia]] during the late 9th century.

| ==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 Empire|Roman]] provinces of [[Great Britain|Britannia]] and {{Wiki|Roman Gaul|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 [[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 Abbos, who had left her a strange letter, signed with AC, 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"/>
| |
| | |
| From Eivor's investigation at {{Wiki|Saint-Germain-des-Prés (abbey)|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.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – The Siege of Paris'' – [[The Ghost of Saint Germain]]</ref>
