Varin (died c. 855) was the husband of Rosta and father of Eivor.

History

At the age of nineteen, Varin and his lover Rosta stacked cairns on a high cliff near the fjord of their village. The two were later married and by around 847 CE, Rosta bore Varin a child, Eivor. Their happiness did not last as nine years later, Kjotve the Cruel raided their village and killed Varin as he begged for mercy. Eivor survived the attack and was adopted by King Styrbjorn of Stavanger, who raised her alongside his own son, Sigurd. When Eivor grew up, she later inherited Varin's axe.

Behind the scenes

In the first issue of Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Song of Glory, Varin's death is depicted with a bearded Kjotve impaling him through the chest with a sword. This conflicts with the same events in the memory sequence "Prologue" from Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, which instead has a clean-shaven Kjotve beheading Varin. Further, this discrepancy cannot be Eivor imagining the details of her father's death, as she was present at the raid and saw both her parents' ends.
