In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the protagonist is named Eivor regardless of whether the player selects a male or female presentation. Eivor is a Viking raider who leaves Norway and establishes a settlement in England during the ninth century.
The game allows players to choose how Eivor is presented, but Eivor remains the character's name in both versions. The story follows the Raven Clan, its alliance-building efforts, and Eivor's encounters with the Hidden Ones and the Order of the Ancients.
Sigurd is Eivor's adoptive brother and an important character, while Basim is a Hidden One whose role becomes increasingly significant. Neither is the protagonist. Valhalla was released in 2020 and includes a modern-day storyline involving Layla Hassan. Its setting connects the Viking Age to the earlier Assassin's Creed mythology rather than presenting a purely historical account of ninth-century England.
