Kris (Fire Emblem) (Male)

Hails from the Altean village of Sera. Leader of the 7th Platoon, a group of newly appointed knights. Serves Marth as a royal guard. Appears in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. Name: Kris Gender: Male Race: Human Relatives: MacLear (Grandfather), Unnamed Parents Occupation: Altean Knight of the 7th Platoon Weapon: Blade of Daylight </Personal Information> Kris is a young atheltic man with fair skin, short blue hair and blue eyes. His attire consists of a blue tunic, a brown glove on his right hand, a black fingerless glove on his left hand, brown belt, white trousers and brown boots. Instilled with the values of his grandfather, Kris is a stalwart warrior of unyielding compassion towards his comrades. Most notably is his loyalty to Marth, having become one of Marth's most treasured allies. He is extremely protective of him, snapping at General Lang for disrespecting him. A valuable ally to the Hero-King, even when faced with possible death at the hands of Medeus, Kris vows that he would help Marth by any means, even if it kills him. Marth himself questions his intense devotion to him, but is nonetheless appreciative to have a dependable companion during the war, seeing him as his other half.

By his own admission, Kris loves to fight and constantly trains to better himself. In part, he wanted to honor his grandfather who himself has a strong legacy in the Altean Knights. Kris often worries that without a purpose, he would stray from the righteous path. While Marth is one of the people he has the strongest bond with, he has created strong bonds with other members of the army. He honors his allies wishes, such as keeping Sirius' true identity a secret even after discovering it.

Aside from Marth, Kris developed the strongest bonds with his fellow members of the 7th Platoon. In particular, Katarina becomes a treasured friend as she was the first person to befriend him as recruits. Her sudden betrayal deeply hurt Kris, but he held an unshakable belief that she could be redeemed. She became a sore subject for him, with most people avoid mentioning her as Kris would simply fall into a depressed silence. During multiple points in New Mystery of the Emblem, Kris goes out of his way to follow leads that could result in Katarina returning to him. It is only upon their final encounter are they given the chance to do so. His unwavering belief in Katarina causes her to return to their side and he assured her that they would always be there for her as she sought redemption for her sins.

Kris has several notable faults including a terrible sense of cooking. Caeda notes that his attempt at cooking created food that tasted like steel even after receiving guidance from her. Even his grandfather bluntly told him that he should never attempt to cook. Another is their horrid sense of direction. He is aware of this issue, yet he never seem to even notice he is lost until another person lets him know he is lost. Kris is also a bit naïve and easily believes the words of others. He is tricked by Xane into believing that sharing Tiki's hairstyle will grant him legendary strength. He even accept the tall tales surrounding some of his allies as fact.

Kris gets flustered around some of the women of the army such as Phina and Palla. This trait leaves him targets to be teased by others. Hailing from the small village of Sera, Kris grew up under the care of his grandfather, MacLear, a former knight of Altea. Having trained under him in combat, Kris inherited his grandfather's moral code and work ethic, culminating in a desire to become an Altean Knight as his grandfather wished for him.

While living in Sera, Kris would occasionally be asked by MacLear to deliver wood to a neighboring village, where he met Norne. One day, Norne had gotten lost in a forest and was found and comforted by Kris, but because Kris had also been lost as well, the two had to wait until other adults would find them. Having spoken to Norne about wanting to become an Altean knight, this made her want to be a knight of Altea as well, and Norne mentions that it was also because she wanted to see him once more.

It would not be until a year after the War of Shadows that Kris would finally enter the Altean castle and become a new recruit. Before entering the castle, Kris bumped into another new recruit, a young girl named Katarina. Easily becoming friends, Katarina and Kris partner up during their first trial, as Katarina admitted that she could not fight and really wanted to be a tactician. Accepting the partnership, Kris goes through the first trial, where he battles against an Altean soldier and even Jagen himself. Afterwards, Kris and Katarina listen to Marth's speech.

He was later assigned into the 7th Platoon with fellow recruits Luke, Roderick, and Ryan. Needing to establish a leader, Luke nominates himself while Katarina nominates Kris. Luke challenges Kris for the position with Katarina accepting the duel for them. With the aid of Ryan, the trio defeats Luke and Roderick, securing Kris as the leader. Kris uses a sword called Blade of Daylight as his weapon.
