Assassin's Creed Valhalla - The Differences Between Eivor and 'Male Eivor'
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series has had no shortage of memorable protagonists, from the charismatic Ezio Auditore de Firenze to the stoic Bayek of Siwa, or even the pirate-turned-assassin Edward Kenway.

While Assassin's Creed Syndicate attempted a similar dual protagonist approach with the Frye twins, Odyssey instead forced the player to select one of them at the start, which would carry through the rest of the game. Interestingly enough, Ubisoft would go on to confirm that Kassandra's story was meant to be the canon version, which would later be confirmed by her appearances in expansion content for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
