Name: Chrom Gender: Male Race: Human Birthday: May 27 Age: 19 Relatives: Altea Royalty (Ancestors), Marth (Ancestor), First Exalt (Ancestor), Unnamed Father, Emmeryn (Elder Sister), Lissa (Younger Sister), Lucina (Future Daughter), Owain (Nephew), Ophelia (Great-Niece) Occupation: Weapon: Falchion Chrom is a young tall man with dark blue hair and eyes. His right arm has the the brand of the Exalt. His outfit consists of a jacket with only one sleeve on his left arm, dark blue pants with golden lines, a white long boot on his left leg, a blue long boot on his right leg and a white ragged cape. Chrom is the straightforward prince of Ylisse who displays his convictions plainly and ultimately means well with his intentions. Taking the role of defender of Ylisse for his older sister, he is devoted to Ylisse's protection and seeks to be an inspiration to others. His resolve and commitment to see a conflict to the end makes him both reckless at times, but also unflinching in his convictions. His earnest approach to life often makes him vulnerable to betrayal, but Chrom often pays no heed to otherwise reasonable doubt once he truly believes in his decision. By his own admission, Chrom will help anyone in need without a moment's hesitation. Best exemplified by his combat quote "anything can change", Chrom believes that the future remains undetermined and so-called destinies can be overturned through sheer determination and faith in others.

Partially influenced by his bond with Robin, Chrom is a stalwart faith believer in the concept of bonds, feeling that the depths of one's relationships to others makes one stronger. As such, he is fiercely devoted to those he cares about. Even when "betrayed" by his closest ally in the original future, the future Chrom did not blame them for the betrayal. From the very start of Awakening, Chrom's most notable bond is with Robin as he considers them as his "other half" in most situations, almost akin to his ancestor Marth's relationship with his "shadow" Kris. Some consider their bond stronger than Chrom bond with his own romantic pairings if Robin is not his wife. His faith in Robin is so unshakable he stops his daughter from attempting to kill Robin even though letting them live may result in himself getting killed. When it is discovered that Grima can be permanently killed if Robin sacrifices themselves, Chrom forbids them. Even though they can make this decision, and they do in fact vanish from the world, Chrom expresses explicit belief that the will be found again once more.

Chrom is a devoted family man and is fiercely protective of his sisters. He respects Emmeryn for restoring peace to Ylisse in wake of their father's warmongering legacy and formed the Shepherds to play a part in defense of her efforts in a manner he knows best. While he protests several of her actions during the story, he ultimately relents and respects her decisions. Her death becomes the first time in his life that he has ever doubted himself, being filled with despair for his failure. Thanks to his comrades, Chrom is able to move past his grief and renews his desire to fight for his sister's ideals. He is protective of his younger sister Lissa who is also part of the Shepherds. He has faith in her abilities on the battlefield and provides emotional support to Lissa over her various insecurities. Chrom assures Lissa that her gifts make up for the ones he himself lacks. Later, he becomes a devoted husband and father. His newborn daughter Lucina becomes one of Chrom's greatest treasures and treats the alternative future version of his daughter no differently than her infant version.

The Ylisse-Plegia war tempers Chrom, especially in wake of Emmeryn's death and once he succeeds in the role of Exalt of Ylisse. Having adopted her vision for peace for the realm, Chrom takes a more serious posture when working alongside his allies. While he respects Emmeryn's pacifistic ways, Chrom remains willing to take initiatives and fight for Ylisse himself in defense of the peace he and his allies had fought hard for. It is also due to her sacrifice, Chrom dislikes self-sacrificing behavior of his allies, even if it is for the greater good. He is somewhat stifled by the greater responsibilities of being royalty, especially once he becomes Exalt. He never sought the role prior to Emmeryn's death and only did so to fill the void she left behind as well as to honor her legacy. Chrom never flaunts his status at any point and maintains a frank, but honest relationship with his allies as their leader. Because of his equal treatment of others, regardless of status, and a willingness to fight alongside them, Walhart states that he walks the Path of Kings.

Despite his serious demeanor, Chrom can be awkward at times, particularly in regards to his romantic pursuits and can be quite dense in this regard. He can be easily flustered, sometimes dramatically so such as when Frederick posted naked drawings of Chrom as a means of "inspiring the troops" and is used to Lissa playing pranks on him. One of his more unusual quirks is his uncontrollable strength during training sessions as he has a habit of destroying training targets and sometimes indiscriminately destroying nearby objects during these session. Much to his regret, his daughter ends up inheriting this trait. Chrom is the main protagonist of Fire Emblem Awakening. He is prince of the Halidom of Ylisse, and the brother of Lissa and Emmeryn. He is also the father of Lucina, a direct descendant of the First Exalt and a distant descendant of Marth the Hero King. Chrom wields the legendary sword Falchion as his main weapon.

Chrom is the prince of the Halidom of Ylisse and the younger brother of Ylisse's current Exalt Emmeryn. He also has a younger sister Lissa and is retained by Frederick. Chrom descends from the Hero-King Marth and the First Exalt, a legendary warrior who sealed the Fell Dragon Grima a thousand years prior to the events of Awakening. As a symbol of this heritage, Chrom bears the Mark of the Exalt on his right shoulder and is deemed worthy to wield the divine blade Falchion.

The previous Exalt, Chrom's father, passed suddenly when Chrom was roughly eight years old and Emmeryn succeeded him as Exalt. Though Emmeryn was initially met with skepticism and sometimes hostility by the people of Ylisse due to her father's legacy, Chrom watched as her vision of peace and pacifism eventually win over the hearts of the population, ushering a prosperous era for the country. Plegia, the neighboring country which the previous Exalt had waged a crusade against, was still left embittered by the previous war and led by the power-hungry Gangrel, tried to reignite the war that Emmeryn had ended. Knowing that Emmeryn's pacifism could not fully quell the threat of Plegia, Chrom formed a vigilante group called the Shepherds to defend Ylisse from the looming threat and the constant bandit attacks instigated by Plegia to goad Emmeryn into war. Chrom uses a legendary sword named Falchion as his main weapon.
