Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Roster

How to read this roster (pre-release)

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave launches September 17, 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2 (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム 万紫千紅). A complete playable roster with recruitment conditions, growth rates, and support partners is not public yet. This page is a living index of named figures from official or widely corroborated Direct-era coverage, organized so you can jump into deep pages without mistaking speculation for data.

The four Heroes (playable protagonists)

Hero	Public identity	Wish / motive (official framing)
Cai	Boy from Ribeira Village	Win the Heroic Games to save his imprisoned father
Dietrich	Swordsman from Fódlan	Seek strong opponents after washing ashore
Theodora	Queen of Saramis	Restore honor of the Keeper of Death and Night; defend peace
Leda	Prestigious musician	Revenge on her father’s murderer, who will compete

These four are the only protagonists Nintendo markets as path choices with parallel saved progress. A separate framing role—the player-aligned soul charged by Sothis to oppose Balor using Fortuna’s time travel—sits above the tournament structure. Treat that figure as the narrative frame, not as a fifth interchangeable Games bracket clone, until launch clarifies customization and army rules.

Profiled supporting cast (August 4, 2026)

Dedicated pages now exist for Direct-profiled figures. Status remains pre-release—profile ≠ day-one recruitment promise.

Name	Clan / label	Notes	Page
Bertrand	Mane of Flames	White-Maned Demon; marketed as Leda’s father’s killer	Bertrand
Talimoon	Moon’s Lie	Great merchant; Dietrich/Answerer scenes	Talimoon
Orchel	Linaria’s Morning Dew	Cat-mask priest; Theodora orbit	Orchel
Anatolia	Brides of the Pale Raven	Mysterious Bride; gauntlet firearms	Anatolia

Widely reported companions (verify spelling in-game):

• Cai: childhood friends Peter and Tialla; father Castor (EN coverage).
• Theodora: retainers Tobias and Bonaventure; Saramis faith in Pantheon (Yu Phas).
• Leda: companions Buccar, Sirocco, Mu; father Guillermo; mentor Mahdel.
• Divine names: Sothis, Fortuna, Solel, Balor—see Pantheon.

Allies and supporting cast (shown / reported)

Pre-release articles and Direct-adjacent coverage have named companions and city figures. Status labels below mean:

• Official Direct/store — appeared in Nintendo’s own presentation language or store character framing.
• Widely reported — repeated in major outlets summarizing the Direct; still verify in-game.

Examples that commonly appear in coverage (not a promise of day-one recruitment):

• Peter and Tialla — childhood friends traveling with Cai from Ribeira (widely reported English names; confirm spelling in-game).
• Castor — Cai’s imprisoned father in English coverage (distinct from the Archanea Hunter’s JP name).
• Talimoon — merchant of Moon’s Lie tied to Dietrich scenes; see Talimoon.
• Orchel — cat-mask priest of Linaria’s Morning Dew; see Orchel and Theodora.
• Anatolia — Mysterious Bride of Brides of the Pale Raven; see Anatolia.
• Bertrand — White-Maned Demon of the Arena; marketed antagonist for Leda’s revenge path; see Bertrand.
• Buccar, Sirocco, and Mu — companions accompanying Leda’s Games entry in widely reported coverage.
• Tobias and Bonaventure — Theodora’s veteran retainers shown in Direct materials.
• Temple-connected staff in Dagsion who interact with Games registration.
• Rival combatants shown against Dietrich’s run (including lance cavalry threats discussed in roundups).

This wiki intentionally avoids publishing a fake “100% recruit list” with invented gift preferences. When a name is stable, it can graduate from Roster notes into its own page; until then, keep expectations humble.

Antagonistic and divine names

Confirmed premise names you will see across the site:

• Balor — revived demon god threatening Dagda in the future framing.
• Sothis — progenitor god who charges the player-aligned soul; major Three Houses link.
• Fortuna — goddess of fate/causality; time travel framing and battle rewind (Blessings); Obelisk Chamber under her Dagsion temple.
• Solel — sun god and Divine Sovereign; grants the winner’s wish.
• Dagda (founding king) — the Heroic Games honor this first king; also the continent/empire naming backbone.
• Yu Phas — Keeper of Death and Night worshiped in Saramis; Theodora’s loathed goddess.

Full divine context: Pantheon & Gods. Villain organizations, late-game dragon reveals, or chapter bosses beyond trailer silhouettes are out of scope here.

Three Houses continuity flags

• Shared universe marketing with Sothis.
• Returning Crests and Hero’s Relics.
• Dietrich as an explicit Fódlan native.
• Unconfirmed: prequel vs sequel chronology versus Three Houses / Three Hopes.

Do not import entire Garreg Mach student lists into Fortune’s Weave as playable without evidence. Relic weapons shown for Dietrich-type fantasy are continuity seasoning, not permission to assume every Crest bearer returns.

Combat roles vs roster roles

Roster identity is not the same as class identity. A named retainer might certify into armored, aerial, or chariot lines through the shared Classes system. Hero identity matters more for Blaze Arts; everyone still uses Combat Arts. When evaluating “is X good?”, wait for growths—use trailer jobs only as aesthetic hints.

What will change after launch

Expect this page to gain:

1. Sortable recruit tables per path.
2. Starting class and reclass notes.
3. Links to individual unit pages.
4. Spoiler sections clearly folded away from pre-release readers.

Until September 17, 2026, the honest roster is: four Heroes you can choose, a divine/time-travel frame, retainers and rivals shown in marketing, and many unnamed units still hidden. Use sibling character pages for depth, and refuse clickbait lists that contradict Nintendo’s own silence.
