Robin

A tactician of Ylisse and Chrom's close ally. Lost memory of his life before meeting Chrom. Appears in Fire Emblem Awakening. Name: Robin Gender: Male Race: Human Relatives: Forneus (Possible Ancestor), Validar (Father), Unnamed Mother, Morgan (Daughter) Occupation: Tactician of the Shepherds Weapon: Tomes </Personal Information> Robin is a man with pale skin, orange eyes and shaggy white hair. His attire is a white shirt, white trousers, grey boots, black fauld skirt and a black robe with purple patterns. Robin is the Shepherds' greatest enigma due to his shrouded history and his amnesia. Despite this, he is cordial with his allies and, while exasperated by some of the more colorful member's antics at times, ultimately is a patient listening ear to those who seek out his company. Robin is a believer in the concept of bonds, attesting that forging strong relationships will ultimately make one stronger. Robin is highly perceptive to the others' feelings and can figure out the source of most people's inner turmoils in a matter of a few important conversations. Tiki notes that Robin is surprisingly similar to Marth, due to their charismatic nature and ability to befriend everyone they meet. All of Robin's allies consistently put their faith in Robin's tactics and feel safe under their guiding hands to emerge from all conflicts alive.

Chrom becomes Robin's closest confidant, even becoming so close that a female Robin can marry him. Even when not married, they express undying trust in each other to the point that some even question how deep their connection runs. Likewise, he have a loving relationship with his wife and eventual children. His daughter Morgan in particular idolizes him and constantly tries to pull pranks on him and battle in war tactic simulations due to her dream of being a tactician like him. Robin maintains a competitive mindset as he admits that Morgan is quickly catching up and aspires to continue to grow to foster Morgan's goals.

As the group's tactician, Robin is astutely brilliant in coming up with "crazy" plans or new war tactics out of pure inspiration. As a result, Robin's strategies have constantly lead the far smaller forces of the Shepherds and their allies against otherwise insurmountable odds and vastly superior enemy forces throughout Awakening. His superb guile had impressed the likes of Walhart who stated that if he had a tactician as brilliant as Robin, he would have truly been unstoppable. He is an avid reader and spends most of his leisure time reading mainly books on tactics and historical tomes mainly to help broaden their tactical depth, but he does enjoy reading novels according to his support with Sumia.

Outside of battle, Robin is actually very self-conscious: he often feels insecure about his cooking skills and some of the romances have him feel inadequate compared to other love interests. In Paralogue 22, even after having guided the Shepherds through countless battles, he still reflected on whether he belong with Chrom and the Shepherds. He also can be highly competitive as well as Virion's constant victories over him in tactical war simulation frustrates him during their support. However, Virion admits to him that while he may win, applying his strategies would only result in him being ousted for being a warmonger compared to Robin's more careful approach and care for their allies.

When it is later revealed that Robin was born with the intention of becoming the vessel for Grima himself, he becomes conflicted over the truth, even expressing doubt that he can be trusted once Validar shows that he can be controlled against his will. For the first time, he even fearef that should he lose control again, the future Lucina fears may come true. However, Chrom assures him that he will make it through all possible situations because of their bond. Robin can ultimately become self-sacrificing, accepting Lucina's judgement on him and can follow through on the final choice to end Grima at the cost of his life, believing that one life in exchange for countless others is worth the cost. With the trust of his allies, Robin openly rejects his destined role and openly defies any sort of temptation that leads him to that.

Robin is calm, collected, and dedicated to his work and also serious, empathetic, and sometimes a bit of a worrywart, often prioritizing the well-being of his allies.

Robin (Daraen in the non-English European versions) is a character in Fire Emblem Awakening and one of three main protagonists of the game, serving as the deuteragonist.

Robin is a mysterious figure with very little known history at the start of the events of Awakening due to having severe amnesia. What is known is that he has unparalleled knowledge of war tactics and a mysterious insight to upcoming events. In the future, Robin is the father of a girl named Morgan.

A thousand years prior, after the Fell Dragon Grima was sealed away, a cult in Plegia was formed in hopes of reviving him. For a millennium, the leaders of the Grimleal desired to sire a child who could become a worthy vessel, though none succeeded. Validar, the most recent leader of the Grimleal, fathered Robin. Robin bore the Mark of Grima, a sign of his compatibility as Grima's vessel. Out of concern for her son's safety, Robin's mother snuck away from the cult with the infant Robin. The Grimleal desperately searched for Robin to no avail.

Robin would eventually join the Shepherds of Ylisse and followed a majority of the sequences of events stated in the sections below up until the final battle against Validar at the Dragon's Table. In the original timeline, Robin is overtaken by Grima, who promptly kills Chrom. Now under the full possession of Grima, Robin's consciousness fades as the Fell Dragon laid waste to the world for several years. With humanity desperately clinging to hope, the Holy Dragon Naga sends twelve of the children of the Shepherds, lead by Chrom's daughter Lucina, into the past to change the fate of the world and stop Grima. Catching wind of this plan, Grima follows the children to the past but the flow of time not only separates the children, but also causes Grima to lose a majority of his power. Upon arrival in the past, Robin's damaged body forced Grima to find the current Robin in hopes of reestablishing his power in the present. Because Robin had yet to fully mature as his vessel, Grima's spirit was forced to retreat back into its original host and spend several years recovering the strength lost through the time-travel. As a result of this failed possession, Robin developed severe amnesia, losing much of his prior knowledge save his name and his innate gift for military tactics. In exchange, Robin retained limited memories of his future counterpart which resulted in the form of severe migraines when forcefully recalling these future-past events.

While on patrol on the southern boarder of Ylisse, Prince Chrom, Princess Lissa and their retainer Frederick discover Robin unconscious on the ground in the middle of a grass field. After helping him to his feet, Robin thanks Chrom by name, despite this being the first time they have ever encountered each other. When he attempted to recall how he knows so, Robin discovers that he has developed amnesia for an unknown reason. Armed only with his name and an apparent knack for war tactics, Robin helps Chrom dispatch bandits from a local town. Seeing the value in having a skilled Tactician in his forces, Chrom personally invites Robin into the Shepherds, a vigilante group he formed to protect Ylisse from their warring neighbor Plegia.

Robin's main weapons are tomes, which allows him to cast many spells.
