“	Me, I can't imagine giving my all for a gig that doesn't pay. No one asked you to solve this mess—let alone paid you—yet here you are. Seems like your job is a tougher one than I'm willing to take on. Makes me wonder if the gods are really worth all that trouble.	”	— Kamui, to Celica.

Kamui (Japanese: カムイ Kamui) is a mercenary from a foreign land in the service of Valbar.

Fire Emblem Gaiden

• In Gaiden, promotion gains consist of 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.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Kamui is a Mercenary who joins Celica's army in Act 2. He has decent base stats which allow him to contribute from the moment he joins, and he can promote to Myrmidon after only four levels. He can be viewed as a worse version of Saber: he has worse skill, speed, luck, and resistance than Saber, which hurt his reliability and ability to double enemy Mercenaries (which Saber is already borderline with). After promotion, he catches up to Saber in speed and skill, though he still lacks in luck and resistance. Kamui also has slightly worse HP and defense growths than Saber in exchange for marginally better attack and speed growths, and less opportunities for experience gain. He can still fulfill all of Saber's duties if the player wants home to do, and even if Saber is favored Kamui can promote into a Dread Fighter for Act 4. Overall, while not a bad unit on paper, Kamui is massively overshadowed by Saber, and as such can struggle to make an impact before he can become a Dread Fighter.

Fire Emblem Heroes

Main article: Kamui/Heroes

There is one variation of Kamui available in Heroes.

Personality

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.

His personality is expanded upon in Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Kamui is portrayed as laid-back and carefree, with a love of money. He enjoys mercenary work for the sense of freedom and adventure it provides. Kamui also has a deathly fear of necrodragons. He claims to normally not care about what others think of him, with being greeted sarcastically by Leon being the exception.

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."
