Hytham was a Hidden One Acolyte who operated during the 9th century.
Biography
At the suggestion of Mentor Rayhan, Hytham accompanied his fellow Hidden One and Master Basim Ibn Ishaq to Northern Europe to combat the growing power of the Order of the Ancients, who had entrenched themselves deep in the various kingdoms' administrations.[1]
Sometime before 873 in Constantinople, Hytham and Basim met and befriended the Viking Sigurd Styrbjornson, the son of King Styrbjorn of Forberg. The two accompanied Sigurd back to Norway, where they were introduced to Sigurd's adoptive younger sister, Eivor Varinsdottir.[2]
Later on, Hytham and Basim accompanied the two siblings and select members from their clan of Vikings as they left Norway to escape the rule of Harald Fairhair, whom they refused acknowledge as king in his efforts to unify the nation after endless wars and dwindling resources.[3] On their arrival in England, the Hidden Ones convinced Eivor to build a bureau to serve as their base of operation to combat the Order of the Ancients in the region.[4]
Legacy
Hytham is speculated by Shaun Hastings to have been known to Edward Kenway, possibly influencing the naming of his son, Haytham Kenway.[5]

Hytham is a character that appears in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. He lives at Eivor's settlement of Ravensthorpe and manages the bureau for the Hidden Ones' newest chapter. Eivor can meet with him to accept contracts on hunting members of the Order of the Ancients.[6]
