Today, Nintendo introduced us to Amber, who will be a knight from Brodia in Fire Emblem Engage. He is Diamant’s retainer, and he will start the game as a Lance Knight. Since he will be on horseback, Amber will have quite a bit of mobility in traversing the map. As well, he will have a fairly balanced stat division, which will make him a stable unit.
According to his biography, Amber is a passionate knight who is endlessly cheery and straightforward. He is a romanticist who likes Elyos’s legends and traditions. However, every time he tries to do something, he ends up causing a mess. In that sense, he is a bit similar to Ferdinand from the previous mainline title, Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

You can watch a short conversation between Amber and his lord Diamant in this video:

In it, he reveals that he has found a legendary potion that serves as a truth serum. Diamant praises him, to Amber’s delight, but he drops it onto the ground and the container breaks. The smell of the potion affects Amber. Unfortunately, the video cuts off before Amber can confess something to Diamant.
Atsushi Tamaru voices Amber in the Japanese dub of Fire Emblem Engage. Tamaru previously appeared as Mochizo Oji in Tamako Market, Azul in Twisted Wonderland, and Ichigo Hitofuri in Touken Ranbu. As of the time of writing, we do not know his English voice actor yet.
Fire Emblem Engage is in development and will come out on January 20, 2023 for the Nintendo Switch. You can pre-order it from the eShop.
