Kellam

Learn about Kellam in Fire Emblem: Awakening! Discover his character bio, possible classes, growth rates, and how to best utilize him on the battlefield.

Kellam is a bit of a mystery, isn't he? He's a Shepherd with a serious lack of presence – so much so that people often don't even notice he's there! It's kind of his thing, and he's weirdly proud of it. He's also the tallest person even when he's sitting down, which is a fun little detail.

Other Classes

Kellam isn't locked into just one role. He can promote into a General or Great Knight, which are fantastic defensive classes. But he also has access to Priest, which can then become a War Monk or Sage. And get this – he can even become a Thief, leading to Assassin or Trickster! This opens up a ton of really useful skills for him.

Support Options

When it comes to building bonds, Kellam can achieve an A-rank support with Donnel and Stahl. If you're looking to S-rank him, your options include Lissa, Sully, Maribelle, Cordelia, Panne, Nowi, Olivia, Cherche, Miriel, and Tharja.

Possible Children

If Kellam is paired up with a female unit who can have children, he can father Owain, Kjelle, Brady, Severa, Yarne, Nah, Inigo, Gerome, Laurent, and Noire.

Our Take on Kellam

Think of Kellam as your ultimate defensive powerhouse, especially early on. If you pair him up with Frederick, you've got an almost impenetrable wall for your front lines. Just remember, like most units in his base class, he's not going to be taking hits from magic very well, so keep him away from enemy mages if you can.

What's really cool is his potential to become a Thief, Assassin, or Trickster, or even a War Monk. This gives him access to a crazy amount of skills. Imagine a General or Great Knight Kellam with skills like Acrobat, Lethality, and Renewal – that's just deadly!

Personality-wise, his whole 'lack of presence' thing is a running gag, and it pops up a lot in his support conversations. Honestly, it would have been awesome if he had a unique skill like 'Shade' or 'Stillness' to really play into that theme, but those don't exist in the game.
