You may be looking for Corrin, the Avatar unit in Fire Emblem Fates, who shares their default name in Japanese with this character.

  • In Gaiden, promotion gains consist on giving the character as many points as necessary -the "x" value shown in the table- to reach the promoted class' base stats. If the character's stats are higher than their promoted class' base stats, they will not receive any bonus; however, if all stats are higher, then they will receive +1 to HP.

Personality and character

Like many characters in Gaiden he has little dialogue and characterization. He appears to be fairly relaxed, and is happy to join Celica on her journey after she helps him and Valbar.

Ending

Gaiden

If Jesse survived

Together with Jesse's group he works hard towards patching up the new country.

If Jesse did not survive

In the former territory of Grieth, he built a new country. Afterwards, he became known as the Desert Mercenary.

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

If Jesse survived
Intrigued by Jesse's idea, Kamui helped to found a kingdom of mercenaries, and lived there happily for a time. In the end, however, his wanderlust prevailed—one day he went for a stroll and simply vanished, never to be seen again.

If Jesse did not survive
Kamui established a new kingdom of, and for, mercenaries in what was once Grieth's territory. Relations with Valentia were favorable, with Kamui often aiding the king in times of need. In later life, his efforts earned him fame and respect as "the Steel Amidst the Sand."

Death quote

Gah. Jeez, I'm such an idiot.
— Kamui, in Gaiden

Battle quotes

Nil.

Other appearances

Kamui only appears in Gaiden and its remake.

Trivia

Artwork of Kamui, Valbar, and Leon from the April Fools' website.
  • Kamui shares his name with the Japanese default name of Fates's avatar.
  • On April Fools's Day in 2017, a fake Fire Emblem game called Fire Emblem: Battle of Revolution was given a page on Nintendo's website, featuring Fire Emblem Gaiden style graphics. Valbar, Kamui, and Leon were featured prominently, appearing in the background art and receiving portraits drawn in the style of the NES games.[2]
