What is the name of the protagonist commonly used for Assassin's Creed Valhalla's player character?

The story behind the answer

Eivor is the protagonist used for Assassin's Creed Valhalla's player character.

Eivor is a Viking raider who leaves Norway and settles in England during the ninth century. The player can choose Eivor’s presentation as male or female, while the character’s name remains Eivor. This choice is part of the game’s narrative design rather than a separate protagonist identity.

Valhalla follows Eivor’s alliance-building campaign across Anglo-Saxon England. The settlement at Ravensthorpe becomes a base for exploration, diplomacy, raids, and upgrades. Eivor also encounters Basim and Sigurd, characters who connect the Viking story to the wider Assassin–Templar mythology.

Ragnar Lothbrok and Alfred the Great are historical figures associated with the period, but neither is the player character. Sigurd is Eivor’s foster brother and an important story figure, not the main protagonist.
