Ammon

Ammon (died 870) was a Hidden One active during the 9th century in Constantinople. He was killed by Sigurd Styrbjornsson during a mission in Bulgar.
==Biography==
In 870 CE, while on a mission to recover a Shroud of Eden from a merchant's palace,Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Song of Glory – Issue #3 Ammon fatally wounded the Viking Knud who had broken in and rose to confront the intruder's companion, Sigurd Styrbjornsson.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Song of Glory – Issue #2
Sigurd was over-confident in the strength of his crucible steel sword, but Ammon easily broke it with his Hidden Blade. With Sigurd's guard broken, Ammon stabbed him in the gut. Sigurd then fell to his knees, shocked that he was bested. Ammon cursed the Norseman's greed and leapt out the window to deal with the new threat of several Order of the Ancients soldiers approaching the fortress. He prayed that Sigurd's gods would greet him well.
Further in the palace, Ammon found what he came for. To Ammon's amazement, Sigurd had survived his wound, followed him, and mocked the Hidden One for treasuring what Sigurd saw as a dirty rag. Enraged, Ammon attacked the Viking, only to be slain. With his dying breath, he begged Sigurd not to take the Shroud, although the Viking had no interest in it and instead used his axe to sever Ammon's right wrist to claim the Hidden Blade for himself.
==Legacy==
After Sigurd took Ammon's Hidden Blade, he went on to use it until he met Basim Ibn Ishaq and his acolyte Hytham in Constantinople. When he returned with them to his home settlement of Fornburg two years later, he gifted the blade to his adoptive sister Eivor Varinsdottir,Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – The Prodigal Prince who would wear in her travels as a useful tool to assassinate enemies in the many years to come.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
==Personality and traits==
Ammon was a loyal member of the Hidden Ones, risking his life to retrieve and protect the Shroud of Eden. When angered, however his attacks became easy to read. He was also somewhat inexperienced, as remarked by Basim when receiving the news of his death.
===Skills and equipment===
Ammon wielded a Hidden Blade, like all Hidden Ones. Unlike most members of the Order, he wore the blade on his posterior forearm instead of below the wrist, and so was seemingly still in possession of his ring finger. He was able to incapacitate Knud without much effort and faced Sigurd without fear.
==Behind the scenes==
Ammon is a character introduced in the second issue of the 2020 comic series Assassin's Creed: Valhalla – Song of Glory. His name is the Greek variant of Amun, the Egyptian god.
