Sýnin was a female[1][2] raven that accompanied the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan during the invasion of England in the 9th century,[3] as well as on Eivor's further travels to Ireland[4], the Isle of Skye[5] and Francia to aid in Rollo's siege of Paris.[6]
Skins
In 2020, while reliving Eivor's genetic memories through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, the Assassin Layla Hassan modified the Animus interface to allow for a variety of skins to be applied to Sýnin:
| Image | Name | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Albino | These white ravens are said to have escaped from Hel, Loki's death-bound daughter. | Stable merchant |
|
Angelus Mortis | This dark bird is often compared to the angel of death, who drags souls of sinners to throw them in the frozen lake of guilt. | Reda's Shop or Gothic Pack |
|
Bald Eagle | A most fierce and stubborn bird. Not the sort to keep around any unattended family pets smaller than a pony... | Reda's Shop or Hearthweru Pack |
| Bjartr | An awe inspiring sight, closer to a ray of light given physical form than any actual bird seen anywhere else. | Reda's Shop or Knight ISU Pack | |
|
Black and White | Ravens of this coloring are rumored to see into the realms of the living and the dead. | Stable merchant |
|
Blood Eagle | This raven survived by eating the remains of warriors fallen in battle. | Reda's Shop or Einherjar Pack |

Colorful Raven | A raven with all the colors of the wind. | Ēostre festival |
|
Dellingr's Envoy | This raven wears all the colors of the god after whom it is named, from the frozen dark of the night to the fiery sun of the morning. | Reda's Shop or Twilight Pack |
| Drakeling | Not to be confused with Wyrmlings, whom Drakes in general seem to despise with a singular burning hatred. At least, that is what scholars say... | Reda's Shop or Dragon Knight Pack | |
|
Droninn | Once in the air, this bird seems to stay in the sky for days, monitoring your area and scanning for any danger. | Reda's Shop or Modern Day Pack |
|
Eugene | This bird must have been the companion of the most powerful mage, since it speaks back to you in the human tongue. Sometimes, he even seems to be mocking you. | Reda's Shop or Mystical Pack |
|
Falcon | These sleek birds of prey prefer to kill with their beak over their talons. | Stable merchant |
| Feigr | To say this bird is "near to death" may be a very optimistic way of stating the obvious. | Reda's Shop or Draugr Pack | |
|
Fylgja | There are rumors that this is not a real raven, but a shapeshifter or perhaps a totemic spirit given physical form. | Reda's Shop or Werewolf Pack |
| Gallus | This flying rooster is just as agile as other types of bird, it may actually be unique in this regard. | Reda's Shop or Charlemagne Pack | |

|
Leidarstjarna | Described as the brightest star in the sky, this raven guides sailors in the darkest times of night. | Reda's Shop or High Elf Pack |
| Mechanical Raven | A marvelous bird that has been hand-crafted by the ingenious dwarven engineers. | Stable merchant after 6 Mythical Memories in Svartalfheim (Dawn of Ragnarök only) | |
| Muninn | A mythical raven branded with Odin's mark. It may or may not whisper secrets. | Reda's Shop or Berserker Pack | |
| Nepja | With wings of frost and talons of glistening ice, this infant creature will grow to become fearsome indeed. | Reda's Shop or Niflheim Pack | |
| Night Heron | A nocturnal hunter, this graceful bird is the perfect companion for those who prowl at night. | Reda's Shop or Huldufolk Pack | |
| Ormr | Could this small creature be of the same lineage as the great World Serpent? Only by traveling with it can you find out. | Reda's Shop or Jormungandr Pack | |
|
Phoenix | Around the campfire at night, old warriors say this mythical bird has been alive for centuries, and some even claim the secret of immortality lies in its fiery feathers... | Reda's Shop or Hel's Damnation Pack |
| Pigeon | It lacks any notable lineage, confers no prestige to its owner, and likes to make a mess of things. | Reda's Shop or Carolingian Dynasty Gear Pack | |
|
Puffy | A puffin companion. Either as a self-imposed challenge or for comedic relief, bring this normally docile animal out to the hunt. | Reda's Shop or Ullr's Hunter Pack |
|
Rebel Raven | Frankish frills for your feathered friend. | Bought from Pierre after reaching max Infamy (The Siege of Paris only) |
|
Savage | This wild bird will accept you as a companion, even help you, but do not by any means consider it tame. | Stable merchant |
|
Scales | The previous owner's pet name for the diminutive flying lizard that kept following him around on his adventures. | Reda's Shop or Dark Knight Pack |
|
Seidhr | Since Huginn and Muninn are busy gathering information, Odin enchanted another raven to hunt with. Probably. | Reda's Shop or Black Raven Pack |
| Steel Crow | How one manages to animate a metal bird and make it fly surely reamins the domain of gods... | Reda's Shop or Steampunk Pack | |
| Sunrise | Born of the light, this divine eagle will disperse the darkest clouds to herald a glorious new day. | Reda's Shop or Blessed Warrior Pack | |
| Thunderbird | Many claim that they know the correct origins of this golden bird, with the lightning coming from its eyes. The animal itself seems to not care. | Reda's Shop or Taranis Pack | |
| Vampire Bat | If it looks like a bat, smells like a bat and is called a bat, surely it is a bat, yes? Albeit a very large, agile and friendly one. | Reda's Shop or Night Rogue Pack | |

|
White Senu | Used to warm and dry climates, this majestic companion will still help you despite the cold. | Ubisoft Connect |

|
Yokai | This marvelous bird responds to the name and can follow simple commands, although the meaning of its name is lost on you. | Reda's Shop or Shinobi Pack |
| Zhuque | Old texts indicate this creature could be a "Fenghuang". The creature responds to "Zhuque" on the other hand, and that is what it is named. | Reda's Shop or Lunar Pack |
Behind the scenes
Sýnin first appeared in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's reveal livestream, flying over Eivor's shoulder.[7] Her name was first revealed in an interview with USGamer, where it was announced that she would appear in-game as a companion and extension of the Eagle Vision mechanic introduced in Assassin's Creed: Origins and Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.[8] "Sýnin" is the definitive form of the Old Norse word sýn, meaning 'sight, vision'. The name is intended to mean 'insight' and is pronounced "Sue-nin" (/'suːnɪn/).[9]
