Chrom is a distant descendant of the legendary "Hero-King" [[Marth]]. He is a prince of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ylisse}}, the successor state to the now-ancient kingdom of Archanea, and is the younger brother of its leader, the Exalt {{s|fireemblemwiki|Emmeryn}}. Chrom bears the holy bloodline of Ylisse's rulers, the Exalts, who carry the power of the legendary dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Naga}} and her holy gifts to humanity: the [[fireemblemwiki:Shield of Seals|Fire Emblem]] and the blade {{ | Chrom is a distant descendant of the legendary "Hero-King" [[Marth]]. He is a prince of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ylisse}}, the successor state to the now-ancient kingdom of Archanea, and is the younger brother of its leader, the Exalt {{s|fireemblemwiki|Emmeryn}}. Chrom bears the holy bloodline of Ylisse's rulers, the Exalts, who carry the power of the legendary dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Naga}} and her holy gifts to humanity: the [[fireemblemwiki:Shield of Seals|Fire Emblem]] and the blade {{s|fireemblemwiki|Falchion}}. This power is signified by the presence of a distinctive [[fireemblemwiki:Holy Blood#Brands|Brand]] on their bodies; in Chrom's case, his Brand is located on his right deltoid. In addition to his royal duties, Chrom is the leader of a group of Ylissean soldiers known as the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Shepherds|group}}, who help maintain Ylisse's peace and stability. | ||
The story of ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' begins with Chrom, his sister {{s|fireemblemwiki|Lissa}}, and his bodyguard {{s|fireemblemwiki|Frederick}}, finding [[Robin|an amnesiac tactician]] by the roadside who joins the Shepherds. After Ylisse's struggle against the neighboring nation of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Plegia}}, Chrom becomes the new Exalt of Ylisse, gets married, and becomes the father of a baby girl, who he names [[Lucina]]. | |||
During a war against the warmongering empire of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Valm}} two years later, a time-traveling Lucina from the future of another timeline reveals herself, warning Chrom of the looming threat of the Fell Dragon {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Grima|character}} who, using the body of Robin's future counterpart, had destroyed the world in her timeline. Chrom, Lucina, and the rest of the Shepherds work together to defeat {{s|fireemblemwiki|Walhart}} of Valm, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Validar}} of the Grima-worshipping {{iw|fireemblem|Grimleal|cult}}, and Grima himself. | |||

His signature weapon is {{ | Chrom, like most ''Fire Emblem'' protagonists, begins in the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Lord}} class. His signature weapon is {{h2|List of swords|Falchion}}, inherited by the royal family of Ylisse as descendants of Marth; Chrom also uses Falchion's counterpart, the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}} or Binding Shield. In addition to Lucina, Chrom can also be the father of another child depending on who he marries. | ||
Since ''Awakening'', Chrom has appeared in a number of other games. He makes an appearance in [[fireemblemwiki:Before_Awakening|an ''Awakening''-based mission]] in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}'', where he meets [[Corrin]]. In the crossover game ''{{s|wikipedia|Project X Zone 2}}'', he is one of three playable Nintendo characters (alongside Lucina and [[Fiora]]). Chrom is also prominently featured as a major character in both ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE}}'' and ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Warriors}}'', and is one of the many units the player can recruit in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'' | Since ''Awakening'', Chrom has appeared in a number of other games.

Chrom appears in {{SSB4|Lucina}} and {{SSB4|Robin}}'s trailer. In the beginning, he is shown lying on the ground after being incapacitated by {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} in battle. Lucina defends him but is almost defeated herself. For the majority of the trailer, he is only seen laying on the ground. However, in the end, still badly hurt, he remarks that he "will get [his] chance another day;" a gameplay video immediately after this scene displays Robin's Final Smash and humorously states that Chrom will get his chance today instead, confirming his involvement as part of the Final Smash. He also appears at the top of Lucina and Robin's "New Challenger" artwork on the official website. | Chrom appears in {{SSB4|Lucina}} and {{SSB4|Robin}}'s trailer.

According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Chrom was briefly considered as a playable character following the release of ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', but he ultimately cut him off the roster when he saw that Chrom would end up playing too similarly to {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}}, and chose {{SSB4|Robin}} instead seeing him as a more unique character.<ref> | According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Chrom was briefly considered as a playable character following the release of ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' along with [[Lucina]], but he ultimately cut him off the roster when he saw that Chrom would end up playing too similarly to {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}}, and chose {{SSB4|Robin}} instead seeing him as a more unique character.<ref>http://www.gonintendo.com/s/233268-sakurai-talks-lucina-s-inclusion-in-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds-why-chrom-didn-t-make-the-cut</ref> This is referenced in {{SSB4|Pit}}'s [[Palutena's Guidance|Smash Taunt]] for Robin, where {{SSB4|Palutena}} and [[Viridi]] deride Chrom for being a "carbon copy" of Ike, irking Chrom by saying so.<br clear=left> | ||
