"My friend may have turned her back on me, but never shall I turn mine on you, even in times like this - no, especially in times like this..."

- My Unit in Prologue VIII

My Unit, whose name by default is Chris (クリス Kurisu), is a custom character created by the player who participates in the game's stories and battles, similar to the Tactician from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken.

My Unit is a youth from Sera Village of Altea who joins the Altean Knights one year after the end of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon along with Katarina. The prologue of Shin Monshō no Nazo covers My Unit's rise from a rookie knight to one of Marth's personal guard. By the end of the prologue, they are a member of the 7th platoon of Altean Knights. Their eventual fate is to become the "Hero of Shadow", Marth's confidant and friend who holds no record in history. This unit joins the 7th platoon, along with Rody, Ruke and Katarina.

Players can change My Unit's name, gender, starting class, appearance and background. They can choose what their character's past, present and future is, which influences their base stats and stat growths. The default appearance of My Unit is the blue-haired, male Mercenary who stands next to Marth in the game's boxart. The default female My Unit also has blue hair and is a Myrmidon.

From a gameplay perspective, My Unit functions exactly like any other playable character. However, since they are one of the main heroes of the game, alongside Marth, their death results in an instant Game Over on both Classic and Casual mode. Unlike Marth, My Unit does not need to be brought out into the battlefield, at least when the Prologue is over.

My Unit has many Bond Support relationships with characters, akin to Marth, and also has a huge selection of Support conversation-like base conversations with other characters.
