{{FEH}} has a player character known as the '''Summoner''' (Japanese: {{hl|召喚師|Shōkanshi}} ''Master Summoner''), who [[Summoning|summons]] Heroes for the [[Order of Heroes]]. Rather than an in-universe character as with the prior [[Avatar]]s, the Summoner is actually the player themselves, summoned from the modern world to the World of Zenith. They are given the default name '''Kiran''' (Japanese: {{hl|エクラ|Ekura}} ''Eclat''), which the player can change at their discretion.

===Role===
The Summoner is summoned to the World of [[Zenith]] by Commander [[Anna]] of the [[Order of Heroes]]. The Summoner is able to summon characters from the {{FES}} using the divine weapon [[Breidablik]] to help them on their attempt to stop [[Embla]]'s invasion. Soon after, they are given command of the Order's forces in the field, acting as a field commander and tactician that controls summoned Heroes in battle. Aside from this, the Summoner serves only minor roles in the story, mainly allowing characters to explain the backstory of the game and using Breidablik to thwart several antagonists’ protective power, prior to Book 4.

From February 2021 onward, the Summoner's appearance can be chosen from seven preset designs (3 male, 3 female, and 1 with the hood up); accessories exclusive to them were made available in the Accessory Shop of the Aether Resort. The Summoner can be also deployed as a playable unit at [[Mjölnir's Strike]], albeit without the ability to be Paired Up with anyone in that mode. With the Copy Skills command in the My Summoner menu, the Summoner can copy infantry-compatible skills from any unit they have summoned or are available in Divine Codes Part 1.

====Books 1-3====
====Book IV====
For the first three books of the main story, the Summoner is a passive player, mostly only acting as a conduit through which the player experiences the story.
During Book IV, the Summoner takes on the role of Alfonse within their own dream, and are convinced that they are Alfonse until they come across the real Alphonse within [[Freyja]]'s dream world, who had been dressed as the Summoner and falsely given their identity in order to maintain the illusion. This was done in order to ensure that neither Alfonse nor the Summoner could escape Ljósálfheimr with the help of Gullinkambi, which required the dreamer to remember their waking lives in order to awaken from the dream.
 
====Book 4====
During Book 4, the Summoner takes on the role of Alfonse within their own dream, and are convinced that they are Alfonse until they come across the real one within [[Freyja]]'s dream world, who had been dressed as the Summoner and falsely given their identity in order to maintain the illusion. This was done in order to ensure that neither Alfonse nor the Summoner could escape Ljósálfheimr with the help of Gullinkambi, which required the dreamer to remember their waking lives in order to awaken from the dream.

===Biography===
Little information is given about the Summoner, as they are supposed to be the player. However, the Summoner makes real-world references, talking about automobiles and skyscrapers to [[Alfonse]], and guns to [[Ephraim]] when referring to Breidablik. In Book IV, the world the Summoner is from is revealed to be named the World of Steel, likely for the many skyscrapers that are shown to exist in this world when it is briefly shown.
