“	Nnn...grrh...Kill... As Master commands...	”	— The Risen Chief of Death's Embrace, upon creation

Risen Chiefs (Japanese: 屍兵将 Corpse General) are a type of Risen which serve as recurring bosses in Fire Emblem Awakening. Owing to the strength-based hierarchy followed by Risen, Risen Chiefs lead their subordinate Risen by sole virtue of being stronger than the rest, and based on their limited in-game dialogue, they are also likely smarter than their underlings.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Role

Within the vanilla Awakening game, Risen Chiefs appear as the bosses of nine maps: Chapters 1, 2, 13, and 24; and Paralogues 3, 12, 16, 17, and 21.

In the game's downloadable content, they make one further appearance as one of two bosses of Death's Embrace, alongside Algol. The Death's Embrace Risen Chief is a unique creature created by Algol as the culmination of his vile experiments on humans.
