== Charactah Account ==
Chrom is the Prince of the Halidom of Ylisse and is a descendant of the Hero-King. While of noble blood, he also leads a militia known as the Shepherds. He wields his nation's treasured sword, the legendary "Falchion". His strong conviction makes him a fine captain.
Chrom is a direct and committed person, unflinchingly charging forward to achieve that which he believes in. He cares greatly for those around him and in his service, paying close attention to them and their needs. He believes that as a leader, he must show strength in the face of fatigue and the burden of great work, so as to be an example and inspiration to others.
Chrom has the utmost faith in other people, particularly his friends and allies. No matter the circumstance or risk, he will attempt to aid anyone in need he encounters, fully aware of and willing to risk any potential consequences if it means. His interest in aiding people goes beyond merely helping them: he is always seeking to forge new bonds of friendship and that doing so improves himself, his army and the people of the world. He believes strongly in the power of unity, attesting that a united front tightly bound by friendship and trust can together overcome even the most powerful of individuals.

== Trivia ==
* Chrom's official artwork in Awakening depicts him wielding the Falchion.
* Chrom was voted the most popular male character in the Fire Emblem Awakening Character Popularity Poll in Japan.
** Chrom came in 5th place for males in the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends popularity poll. He had 23,803 votes.
* Chrom appears in some support conversations from other characters. He appears in Ricken and Nowi's C support and Lucina's C & A sibling supports. He shares this trait with Robin, who appears in ​Tharja and Vaike's C support and Tharja and Frederick's C support.
* According to the Official Fire Emblem Awakening Comic from Nintendo Dream, Chrom is six years younger than Emmeryn, making him roughly nineteen years old at the start of Fire Emblem Awakening.
* Chrom is the only unit in Awakening with a different portrait for each direction. This is likely due to the Brand of the Exalt on his right shoulder. The only other character in the series to have this trait is Nergal.
* The Fire Emblem disappears from Chrom's Great Lord battle model from Chapter 21 to Chapter 23 because Validar steals it. The Fire Emblem will also not be present on Chrom's Great Lord model if he promotes before Chapter 7.
* At the end of Robin and Lucina's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, Chrom remarks that he will "get [his] chance another day." This line was meant to be a joke as he does appear in game as an assist in Robin's Final Smash.
** This line would ironically become true in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate where Chrom became a full fledged playable character.
** Upon release, Chrom retained the original Fire Emblem victory theme based off of Brawl, which is shared by Marth, Roy, and Ike. However, in version 3.0.0, he received the new Awakening-based victory theme that was given to Lucina and Robin, making Chrom the only character to change victory themes within a title.
* In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, during Palutena's Guidance for Robin, Palutena states that Chrom does not have Aether. This is not completely true since Chrom can learn Aether as a level 5 Great Lord in Awakening. However, Chrom's attack animation is not the same way that Ike does in Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn.
** Chrom's up special Soaring Slash uses the same attack animation as Ike's Aether. He also uses his version of Aether as his Final Smash.
* Chrom shares his English voice actor, Matthew Mercer, with Ryoma, Azama, and Shigure from Fates.
** He also shares his Japanese voice actor, Tomokazu Sugita, with Oliver from Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn in his appearance of Heroes.
* Chrom shares both his English and Japanese voice actors with a character in the Atlus RPG Persona 5, Yusuke Kitagawa. This is possibly referenced in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with Chrom representing Yusuke in the latter's Spirit battle.
* In the inaugural Choose Your Legends voting event for Fire Emblem Heroes, Chrom placed 8th place out of 791 with 23,803 votes, placing third among Awakening characters and fourth among male characters.
