*Sigh* Do they STILL not see me? Perhaps Chrom will talk to me if I...wave my...hands around...
— Kellam

Kellam (カラム Callum) is a character in Fire Emblem Awakening. He is a knight in Chrom's Shepherds, serving as an unnoticed shoulder of defense for his allies.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Role

Kellam first appears in Chapter 2, being one of the members Robin is introduced to when Lissa brings them into the garrison. As the camera turns at the start of the cutscene, the player can catch a glimpse of Kellam's shoulder before he is out of view for the rest of the cutscene. When he volunteers to go to Ferox with the others, no one hears his words, nor do they see him. He does not take part in the chapter's battle, at least that the player is able to see. In the next chapter, he travels to Ferox with the other Shepherds, completely unnoticed by both the Shepherds and the Feroxi, and stands in front of the Longfort, trying to attract attention. If Chrom talks to Kellam, he will accompany him and the Shepherds for the rest of the game as a deployable unit.

Personality and character

Kellam's most notable trait is his lack of presence. Even when standing in plain sight and making loud noises, people and animals tend to ignore him. While this leaves Kellam out of many conversations, this oddity keeps him safe from harm and allows him to keep others safe easily. So despite his protests about lacking presence, he is actually quite proud of it and does not mind when people ignore him. On a few occasions, he finds it funny himself, and Cordelia was even able to mimic Kellam's stealthiness in their support conversation. Aside from this, he is a very friendly and caring character who wants nothing more than to keep his friends safe, and says it is an honor to be fighting in the Shepherds. He is also very protective of his armor, as it was given to him as a gift from his family before he joined the Shepherds, and does not like when people try to replace it or wear it themselves.
