It has been proposed that this page be moved to Kiran. Please move this page, or discuss this change on the talk page or on Discord. Reason: Playable now so might get the avatar treatment instead of FE7 tactician treatment, though we could move that too. |

The Summoner (Japanese: 召喚師 Master Summoner) is a character in Fire Emblem Heroes, responsible for summoning Heroes for the Order of Heroes. The Summoner is the avatar for the player and is meant to reflect their experience, having been summoned from the modern world to the World of Zenith. They are given the default name Kiran (Japanese: エクラ Eclat), which the player can change at their discretion.
Fire Emblem Heroes
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 Fire Emblem series using the divine weapon Breidablik to help the Order in 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, prior to Book IV, 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.
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.
Book IV
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.
Biography
Little information is given about the Summoner; however, the Summoner makes references to the real world, talking about automobiles and skyscrapers to Alfonse,[citation needed] and compares Breidablik to a gun with Ephraim.[1] In Book IV, the world the Summoner is from is revealed to be named the World of Steel.[2]
