Following an army of preview impressions, Nintendo introduced some of the characters we’ll see start out as allies to Cai in his route of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave via social media. His story apparently begins with four units we can use as we fight his way through the Heroic Games. The official announcement noted two are with him from the start of his storyline in the upcoming game, and a third joins shortly after.
The first two allies by Cai’s side in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave are his fellow young friends Tialla and Peter, with the older Ultrand only joining the characters later. The reveal noted that Peter and Tialla are his best friends. Ultrand is someone who was concerned about young folks participating in such dangerous fights and, in response, she joined them to act as an ally and protector. The official image also noted their group seems to be known as the Ribeira Winds.
Here’s the infographic showing the three characters and the banner they fight under in-game.
In addition to these Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave details about the Cai route characters, Nintendo already shared an array of screenshots that show off him and occasionally also highlight other possible allies. Many of the official images show him going through the city of Dagsion or in fights, but we do also see people like Tialla.
Here are some of the Cai storyline screenshots Nintendo published so far.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will come to the Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on September 17, 2026. The manga adaptation will also begin its run in Japan in September 2026, though it’s unknown if we might also see it in English eventually. The original Fire Emblem: Three Houses is available on the Switch.
