* Later life

Asgeir was born to Thorfinn and Estrid. When he was a child, his father was once abusive and he never cared for his son, which explains Asgeir's hot-tempered and distrustful attitude. Every time before bed, his mother would often tell stories about Odin and his sons, especially the tragedy of Baldur.

In 863, before the night where his parents were killed, Asgeir was given a jade necklace given by his father, as a sign that Odin will guide him. Asgeir vowed revenge and would kill anyone that is involved in the massacre and the murder of his parents. He had departed for England with his father's friend and adoptive uncle Sølveig, where he trained him to become the clan's powerful Viking raider.

For 8 years, Asgeir had become stronger than any other Vikings in the Raven Clan. Sølveig brings Asgeir to his ex-wife, Eðna who is technically a seer and a mage. Therefore, they had dropped a potion called "The Eye of Odin" into Asgeir's right eye, which enables him to gain the power of the Eagle vision.

He spends the next few months continuing his strenuous training, despite being constantly sick. During his training, Asgeir meets and befriends Andrís, whom he had been watching Asgeir ever since. Asgeir and Andrís began sparring together. He had told Asgeir about the story of the Hidden Ones. Believing in their presence, Asgeir returned to Sølveig and explains his desires on joining the Hidden Ones. However, Sølveig refused to let Asgeir join the Hidden Ones as he's not ready.

By the time he is 19 years old, Asgeir continued training himself, in order to find the person responsible for killing his parents. Sølveig informs Asgeir that he should forget about the past. Furious, Asgeir yells at him, implying that his parents deserved their death. He leaves Sølveig and Eðna and travels Ravensthorpe to meet his relative, Eivor Varinsdottir.
Eivor then introduced Asgeir to the Hidden Ones, this is due to the lack of members in the organisation. Asgeir meets Hytham, who gifted him the Hidden Blade. Though Asgeir had correctly worn the Hidden Blade on the underside of his arm, Hytham convinces Asgeir to make a sacrifice to show devotion to the Creed. However, Asgeir refuses to bring devotion and mocks the Creed's sacrifice, calling it "careless". A few months in Ravensthorpe, Asgeir began working as a bounty hunter, in order to gain information on the identities of the people involved in the murder of Asgeir's parents. Later, he met an anthropomorphic masked wolf, whom he claims Asgeir is responsible for the "chaos he had brought". Asgeir, in disbelieves, mocks the wolf of his imagination and the two begin to clash. That's where Asgeir began sporting a scar on his right cheek across his face.

Asgeir, wounded, barked saying that the wolf will be on his "kill list". Asgeir was then sent to be hospitalised and met Sølveig. He berates him for being dishonourable to the Clan. As a result, Asgeir was dismissed from the Raven clan for a few weeks as a punishment. Asgeir continued his life as a bounty hunter.

During the month of Autumn, Asgeir was hunting in a snowy mountain in Winchester with his Andrís. After their hunt, Asgeir found a mysterious staff lying around. He took it with him, keeping it safe until he returns it to the owner. The two return to Ravensthorpe, with Asgeir returning to his home with a bag of resources. He encounters a group of the gang robbing an old lady. Asgeir intervenes and fights them. Asgeir had killed all of them and makes a final blow on the last robber. He was ready to kill him, however, he decided to spare him when Krystal saw him brutally killing off the robbers. Asgeir warned the robber to remember his face before he commits another crime.
Asgeir returns the old lady with the money that was stolen from her. Krystal soon realised that Asgeir is a member of the Hidden Ones, like her husband. She followed him to ask for his help to avenge the death of her husband and son, but Asgeir repeatedly refuses as he had failed to hunt the man responsible over the years and he is the last of the rebellion group called “The Hidden Ones”. Krystal then reveals the truth as to why the masked Wolf, named Wolf O'Donnell, who killed her husband and son is hunting her as well. She reveals that she has the Apple of Eden in possession, which surprises Asgeir. He warned about the outcomes of possessing such a sacred artefact. After Krystal explains the purpose of why her husband stole the artefact, Asgeir finally allows Krystal to work with him, despite his distrustful attitude.
A week later, Krystal was introduced to Asgeir’s allies. He pleaded with them on how to take down the Order of Ancients. Asgeir’s relative, Eivor Varinsdottir, requests them to find Helga, a human-wolf hybrid, who is leading a religious group in a church. Along the way, they meet Asgeir’s old friend, Andrís. He had insisted on coming along with them on the journey, despite Asgeir’s continuous rejections. The trio reached the church, partially destroyed, controlled by the Fyrds. They found a letter laid on a table in the table hall, written by Helga, informing them he is in London. The group continue their journey to London and meet Asgeir’s old mentor, Sølveig who leads them to meet Helga.
Helga welcomes the trio. Asgeir and Krystal request him to give them information on the Order of Ancients. Helga tasks Asgeir to hunt down four members of the Order of Ancients, in order to find the man responsible for killing Asgeir’s parents and Krystal’s husband and son. Asgeir sets out on the hunt, and Krystal follows him. After hunting the four members with Krystal’s assist, a defect, a brown anthropomorphic bear, named Bjørn from the order comes to Ravensthorpe and visits the Raven Clan. Asgeir and Krystal were informed about the defect, and they returned to Ravensthorpe. The two confront him, but Bjørn convinces them that he knows the person responsible for killing Asgeir’s parents. Asgeir, in disbelief, proceeds to kill Bjørn at the spot, but Krystal pleads with him to stop and convinces him if he is telling the truth.

 Asgeir and his Ravens clan listens and believes Bjørn’s explanations, but they are still concerned about whether they should trust him. Asgeir advises Andrís to stay with the clan, while he and Krystal visit Hytham to inform him about the whereabouts of the Order of Ancients. That evening, Bjørn uses a tracking device to locate the Apple of Eden in the village. Bjørn managed to find it in Asgeir’s house and was able to recover it right before Asgeir returned. Suspicious of Bjørn’s behaviour, Asgeir wasn’t concerned and meets Krystal.
During their feast, Krystal and Asgeir had a conversation about loss and sorrow. Krystal, despite her grief for the death of her son, reminds him to keep moving forward and establish a new life. Asgeir returns to her the staff he had found, which belongs to her. Their feast was then interrupted when the Order of Ancients attacked their village, from a distress signal being sent by Bjørn. Wolf O’Donnell and his human partner, Victor, both leaders of the Order of Ancients, found Asgeir and Krystal. All the ravens were subdued and kept in captivity, others killed. Asgeir and Krystal were both angered at Bjørn’s betrayal, as he handed Wolf and Victor the Apple. As the group was about to leave, Asgeir attacked Wolf and they both clashed. Wolf overpowers Asgeir, Krystal helped Asgeir break free of Wolf’s grasp, but she was stabbed in the right abdomen in the process, leaving her mortally wounded. Asgeir was defeated by Wolf, giving him the opportunity to leave Ravensthorpe with the Apple. Asgeir immediately carried Krystal to Winchester by a horse to bring her to a healer. While Krystal is being brought on medication, Asgeir stayed with her, in the hopes that she would regain consciousness.
The next morning, Krystal regains consciousness and wakes up to see Asgeir beside her, which made her remember the time she met Fox for the first time after saving her. Asgeir woke up and Krystal thanked him for saving her life. Krystal and Asgeir found that survivors from Ravensthorpe were also wounded but recovered, especially Eivor and Sigurd. Eivor had promoted Asgeir to be the new leader of the Ravens clan. Asgeir ordered the survivors and the remaining Ravens members to prepare a raid. Thanks to Helga’s help, the duo finally know the whereabouts of the Order. Asgeir gifted Krystal the Hidden Blade.
As the clan prepares to leave, Sølveig requests Krystal to stay behind, to keep her safe from danger. But Asgeir refuses to let her do so as the two had their “personal matters” to deal with. Krystal and Asgeir leave for Wessex to hunt down Victor and Wolf. Instead, they reencountered Bjørn, who set up a trap and the two began to fight him. The two had defeated Bjørn, and Asgeir brutally beat him to death, much to Krystal’s dismay. Traumatized, Krystal comforts grief-stricken Asgeir. The two continued their journey to track down Wolf and Victor, but they both decided to part ways, letting each other deal with their killers themselves. Before leaving, Asgeir asks Krystal if what they are doing was right.
Asgeir tracks down Victor to York and fights him. Asgeir overpowers and kills him, avenging the death of his parents, while Krystal tracks down Wolf in Leicester. She confronts Wolf as he gains the power of the Apple of Eden. Despite using the power of the Apple, Krystal overpowers him and kills him with her blade, finally avenging the death of her husband, Fox, and her son. After defeating the two leaders of the Order of Ancients, the battle between the Vikings and the Anglo-Saxons has ended.

Asgeir returns to Ravensthorpe, which is being rebuilt. He found out that Krystal had not returned. Assuming Krystal was dead, Asgeir starts to weep. Luckily, Krystal returned to the village alive with the Apple and the two embraced once more. The two reinstated the Hidden Ones, training more new members and they swore to protect the Apple. Asgeir had finally renounced his previous life and devoted himself to the Hidden Ones, by cutting off his ring finger. Sometime later, Krystal and Asgeir visit the graves of their deceased loved ones. Asgeir made a promise to her late husband, Fox, that he swore to protect Krystal with his life. The two began to start a new life together as the Hidden Ones.
Asgeir is now ranked as an apprentice of the Hidden Ones. He finds his relative Eivor leaving for Ireland. He urged her to return home safely, as he and Krystal goes on a journey to find the secrets behind the new God-fearing Order with their mentor, Hytham and along with four other allies, Andrís, Helga, Erik and Eydis Vígdissdottir. The group travels to Baldock, Hertfordshire, where the Templars will be taking place.

It is not yet revealed what he actually does later in life, but it is rumoured that either Krystal remarry Asgeir as her second husband or the two moved to Corneria to establish the Hidden Ones there.

## Legacy

In 2028, Asgeir's memories is relieved by Abstergo-turned Assassin named Shimura, through his Animus HR-9. Shimura uses the blood of his late-friend who appears that his blood is related of an Isu god, Odin. After running a prolonged time in the Animus, Shimura was awakened by Fox McCloud, who was revealed to be dead in the Asgeir's memories. However, Fox is actually alive in the current reality, which explains that there are many different realities occurring at the same time. This is caused by an event called 'The Alternative'. Fox revealed himself not only as a Star Fox leader but also a member of the Cornerian Brotherhood of Assassins. Shimura accepts the offer of finding the missing staff of Fox’s wife. In return, he will work with Shimura to stop another upcoming apocalyptic event that will not only happen to Earth, but many in an alternate reality, especially Fox’s home planet, Corneria.

## Personality and characteristics

Asgeir was once a bright and happy child, who often likes to play around with other Vikings. After the death of his parents and haunted by the massacre that happened in Rygjafylke, Asgeir soon adapts a much bitter and harsh attitude. He also seem to be very distrustful as those whom he had trust had betrayed him, during his time as a bounty hunter. He showed no respect to anyone as he have rather a rude demeanour, which shows that Asgeir yelled at his uncle Sølveig. Additionally, Asgeir really likes doing fist fights with Huldar. Asgeir actually hated most of the people in his clan. However, he still shows some concern for their safety. He is also very brutal and merciless. Asgeir often gives his enemies an agonising beating to the death, cursed upon their name and denying them to Valhalla, despite their honourable fight. He too has a habit of decapitating his enemies mostly as his trophies or to proof that he had killed his targets. Asgeir also known to be asexual, implying that he had no sexual interest in anyone as he too reliant on fulfilling his quest for revenge.

When it comes to Krystal, he is often annoyed by her stubborn attitude, but still continues their journey on revenge together. As the two got along together, Asgeir gradually showed a bit of kindness and careness towards Krystal and would often look out for her. Not only Krystal was the only person he cared for, he had also cared for his adoptive uncle Sølveig, his old friend Andrís and his Hidden One mentor Hytham. Sometime later, Asgeir's personality had changed. He gradually begin to drop his aggressive attitude and smile more contentedly whenever his allies likes to joke around with him. By the time he becomes a Master Assassin, Asgeir begin to show a much gentle nature towards his people.

### Equipment and skills

Asgeir is an expert on wielding two axes. After years of training with Sølveig, he is able to engage multiple opponents simultaneously without a struggle. He is also an expert on various types of weapons, such as a scythe, spear, a battleaxe and a bow. Though he is able to fight with a shield, he still refuses to use it as he suspects that using a shield is for "cowards who refuse to show their true strength". He also capable of using the Hidden Blade, that he wore on the underside of his arm. As Krystal is known to be a shield maiden, Asgeir would call out to her to boost him up with her shield. That, he can perform an airborne attack on his enemies. Asgeir shares a symbiotic relationship with his eagle, Alvís. He is able to possess the ability of the Eagle Vision, with the Eye of Odin on his left eye, which appears to be a light-blue eye. Asgeir's Eagle Vision allows him to view a 360 circumference of the area through Alvís' perspective.

Asgeir is also a master of stealth, he is able to sneak up on enemies without alerting other nearby enemies. Asgeir seldom assassinate his target by covering their mouth before stabbing their throat with his blade, which prevents him to attract attention. Asgeir is also capable of blending into the crowd, or acts as a regular civilian, which enables him to keep a low profile from others.
