Thorvald Hjaltason
Þórvaldr Hjaltason (English: Thorvald Hjaltason), was an Icelandic skald and Hidden One active during the 10th century.
Biography
Alongside his old Mentor, the blind Torgny, Thorvald fought against Styrbjörn the Strong as the Brotherhood suspected that the fearsome prince and his ally, Harald Bluetooth, were affiliated with the Templar Order.[1]
Legacy
Thorvald fathered at least one child at some point after the Battle of Fyrisvellir, through whom he became the ancestor of Javier Mondragón, a 21st-century teenager who relived his ancestor's memories in order to collect intel about the Devotion Prong owned by Harald Bluetooth.
Personality and characteristics
Equipment and skills
Thorvald, like some other Assassins had mastered Freerunning, owned a Hidden Blade and possessed the ability of Eagle Vision, though he referred to it as "Odin-sight". Thorvald also owned a horse named Gyllir. While being known as a skald, Thorvald was in fact a skilled warrior and when provoked by five men, noted to himself that he could easily kill three of them before the two others could even draw their weapons. He also dueled and killed Palnatoke, who as the leader of the Jomsvikings was considered to be one the deadliest Viking warriors of his time.
