The fictional future justice system is such that when a person is accused of a crime, they are immediately given a bench trial presided by a judge, a prosecuting attorney from the state, and a defense attorney that must completely prove the accused innocent of the crime. Trials last 3 days at most, due to the large number of cases that the courts must deal with; if the accused cannot be found innocent after this time, their case is consigned to a higher court. The majority of the work during a trial is on the shoulders of the defense attorney who must cross-examine the witnesses brought forth by the prosecution to find contradictions in testimony to clear their client. The playable character is Phoenix Wright. He is a rookie lawyer fresh out of law school in the first game, taking a position at Fey & Co. Law Offices run by Mia Fey, a defense attorney that helped to acquit Wright of murder several years prior to the events of the first game. When Mia is murdered, Wright takes over the offices with the assistance of Maya Fey, Mia's younger sister, and renames the office "Wright & Co. Law Offices". The Fey family have the ability to channel spirits, which sometimes allows Maya to channel Mia's spirit for Wright to help in court. Wright develops a rivalry with prosecuting attorney Miles Edgeworth as they oppose each other in court... [Edited from [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Attorney#Setting)] ## Characters ### Naruhodou Ryuuichi (成歩堂 龍一) "Ace Attorney" and main character of the first three games, Phoenix has wanted to be a defense lawyer since he was a kid, and first appears as the new addition to Mia Fey's law practice. Phoenix is generally easy-going, which usually leads to his friends leading him around. He's dedicated to defending his innocent clients, but because he's just starting out he depends a lot on his boss and mentor, Mia Fey. Phoenix is also a loyal friend who won't back down once he's set his mind on something. He has a bit of a sarcastic side that he usually keeps to himself.

Her older sister, Lana Skye, was arrested for allegedly murdering Bruce Goodman. Lana instructed Ema to request the services of Mia Fey, but chose Phoenix Wright instead as Mia was absent. Ema lost her parents in a car crash at a young age, so Lana is her only family. Lana raised Ema alone while pursuing her career, resulting in Ema's interest in forensics. Ema is cheerful and optimistic. She loves science, wanting to be a forensic investigator, and is set to go into forensics in 2020. She also deeply admires both her older sister Lana, and the prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, though she isn't a fan of his office. Ema somewhat lacks in common sense; when examining Wright's desk, she claimed to be studying for a history test and she inaccurately proclaimed George Washington to be "the first king of America." She also has a tendency to write down notes in her notepad, even if they're completely irrelevant to the case at hand. [SPOILER] During the events of the SL-9 Incident, Ema was waiting for Lana in her office so that they could go out for dinner. Suddenly, the serial killer Joe Darke, who had escaped from his interrogation, burst into the room. Prosecutor Neil Marshall soon came to the rescue, engaging Darke in a fight. During the struggle, Ema saw a man about to stab another with a broken knife. Thinking the attacker was Darke, Ema pushed him, knocking him out. She lost consciousness soon afterward. When she woke up, Lana was cradling her in her arms, Neil was dead, and Darke had been recaptured. Detective Bruce Goodman interviewed Ema for evidence, but she could not remember anything clearly and was still shock from the experience. A couple of days later, she managed to draw a picture of one man stabbing another on the back of a list of the evidence used to convict Darke. Two years after the SL-9 Incident, on the last day in court during the events of "Rise from the Ashes", Ema testified about the SL-9 Incident, and the picture she had drawn came up. Eventually, Wright found out that Lana had believed Ema had killed Neil Marshall by accident, but soon proved that Gant was the real killer in both cases and that he had blackmailed Lana with the lie that her younger sister was the killer. Her personality underwent a dramatic shift when she failed to get her dream job in forensics, becoming much moodier than she was as a teenager and disliking talking to people unless they have something concerning forensics to discuss, otherwise, she usually ignore them. She also developed a great liking for "snackoos", spending large quantities of time vigorously munching on them and ignoring those around her. The sound of her munching became an identifying signal for Apollo Justice, and she sometimes throw snackoos at people who annoyed her. Ema's disregard for other people extend to her coworkers. She cannot stand prosecutor Klavier Gavin, calling him a "glimmerous fop" (which Apollo always tries to correct to "glamorous" in his head). According to Skye, prosecutors should be "simmerous" and "cool of wit and furrowed of brow" (likely referring to the more serious Miles Edgeworth). She's also resentful of Klavier for what happened to Phoenix Wright, since he had been the prosecutor at the trial that caused his disbarment, and thus she held him personally responsible. Her love of forensics has not lessened however, immediately cheering up if the opportunity to implement it presents itself and sneakily investigating crime scenes when the assigned forensic investigators are not around. When she did eventually achieve her dream of becoming a forensic investigator, she regained much of the positivity she had in her teenage years.

She is Ema Skye's older sister, and is accused of murdering Bruce Goodman. Lana maintains that she murdered Bruce, but Ema does not believe her. Lana is cold and stoic. She is disciplined and hard-working, as evidenced by her success in the Criminal Affairs Department. [SPOILER] Lana Skye's parents died in a car accident when she was a teenager, which left her caring for her younger sister Ema. Despite all this, she managed to make it to law school, even being at the top of her class by her third year. When Mia Fey audited one of Lana's classes, the two became friends and shared an "intellectual bond", having so many similarities with each other. Lana eventually joined the Criminal Affairs Department as a detective and moved up in the ranks. She ended up working alongside, and sharing an office with, Damon Gant. The pair was famous for some time, becoming known as the "Legendary Duo." Lana was admired by her fellow detectives and a number of them looked up to her, including Angel Starr. However, this reputation did not last. Lana became involved in the investigation of the spree killings of Joe Darke, working alongside Bruce Goodman, Jake Marshall, Angel Starr and Damon Gant. Jake's brother Neil Marshall was to prosecute. It was a clear-cut case; Darke even turned himself in. Lana made dinner plans with her sister Ema, who waited in Lana's office for her. However, Darke escaped during an interrogation and made his way to that same office, with Neil in hot pursuit. When Lana arrived at the crime scene, she found Ema and Darke unconscious on the floor, and Neil impaled on the sword of a decorative suit of armor. The evidence before her seemed to indicate that Ema had killed Neil, which made her panic for the first time in her life. Gant, who had also arrived at the scene, agreed to help her rearrange the crime scene to shift the blame away from Ema and onto Darke. They moved the body - though not before taking a photo as she had found it - and planted part of Darke's knife in the corpse. Ema woke up in Lana's arms, and the police eventually arrived to conduct the ensuing murder investigation. With the crime scene altered, as well as with the help of what little Ema could remember from the incident, Darke was convicted of Neil's murder (on top of the existing charges) by a different prosecutor, Miles Edgeworth, and he was subsequently executed. However, Gant began to manipulate Lana by threatening to expose all the evidence that seemed to point towards Ema being the real killer. He arranged to have Lana transferred to the prosecutor's office and promoted to the position of Chief Prosecutor, so that he could have unhindered power over all investigations. Lana withdrew into herself, becoming cold so as to help deal with all the things Gant would have her do over the next two years. Meanwhile, nearly all of the other detectives involved in the incident were fired or demoted, save Bruce Goodman. The events of SL-9 came to a head with the murder of Bruce Goodman. Gant had killed Goodman in a panic, having felt threatened by the detective insisting that the SL-9 case be reopened, and ordered Lana to dispose of the corpse. She transported the body via an oblivious Miles Edgeworth's car trunk to the underground parking lot of the Prosecutor's Building. She immediately recognized the knife in Goodman's body as belonging to Darke. She wrapped it in the muffler she normally wore around her neck and placed it in the muffler of the car. Lana took a knife she found in Edgeworth's car and stabbed the body with it to have it later established as the murder weapon. Unused to stabbing a man, even a dead one, she was shaking as she plunged the knife in and ended up cutting her right hand. She attempted to phone her sister on a wall-mounted telephone in the parking lot to tell her to dispose of Darke's knife, but it was out of order. She then attempted the call again on her mobile phone, but the signal was poor. Before she could properly talk to her little sister, Angel Starr appeared. Having seen what she thought was the Chief Prosecutor committing murder, Starr rushed down from the security office overlooking the lot and arrested Lana, but not before the supposed killer kicked over an oil drum filled with water to wash away any bloodstains on the ground.

He's usually cheerful, is hardworking, and eager to please. But he also takes his job seriously, which causes conflict when he wants to help both sides of the case.

He has been Miles Edgeworth's mentor, responsible for teaching him everything about prosecuting. He is also the father and mentor of Franziska von Karma. None of his cases were left unsolved, and all of the defendants were declared guilty. Manfred von Karma is an arrogant prosecutor who believes himself better than others, especially defense attorneys, who he saw as nothing more than annoying flies to be swatted. He is also an intimidating man who holds great sway over the courts thanks to his long win record, and he would often almost take over the judges' jobs during trials. Manfred is a great believer in perfection and demands nothing less from himself and his students. In this quest for perfection, he does whatever it takes to win a case. [SPOILER] Following the penalization in the IS-7 incident, von Karma was shocked beyond belief; he had never been penalized before. The one thing he valued above all else was his perfect record. Soon afterward, an earthquake struck the courthouse, leaving von Karma wandering in the darkness. He felt his way to an elevator and tried to use it, but nothing happened. Suddenly, a gunshot rang out and von Karma was struck in the right shoulder, causing him to utter a terrible scream. Then, the power came back on, and the elevator doors opened. To his surprise, von Karma found a pistol at his feet, along with three people lying unconscious inside the elevator from oxygen deprivation; the court bailiff Yanni Yogi, a young boy, and the man who had ruined his perfect record, Gregory Edgeworth. When he saw that one of the passengers was Gregory Edgeworth, he picked up the gun and shot him in the heart, killing the defense attorney instantly. von Karma left the gun and fled the scene, taking a "vacation" to heal his injury from the incident. Meanwhile, the case of Gregory Edgeworth's murder, known as the DL-6 Incident, was held against Yanni Yogi, who, at the insistence of his defense attorney Robert Hammond, plead temporary insanity to escape conviction. Six months after Gregory's death, von Karma adopted Miles, the orphaned son of the man he had killed and the third occupant of the elevator, as his own, and trained him to become a ruthless prosecutor like himself. Five years later, Manfred von Karma sent a letter to Yanni Yogi with a detailed plan to murder Robert Hammond (whom Yogi blamed for ruining his life by making him plead temporary insanity) and frame Miles Edgeworth. His plans exposed, Manfred started banging his head against the wall of the court. He had suffered two defeats at Wright's hand, the only two he had ever received. Manfred von Karma died soon afterwards, possibly through a death sentence.

Seen as a snob, his condescending nature and relentless prosecution (along with rumors of evidence and witness tampering) have earned him the name "Demon Prosecutor." He despises criminal behavior, and will do anything to get lawbreakers behind bars. And look stylish doing it.

He is smug and overconfident, but can have trouble clearly articulating his arguments in court, and he begins to panic when his cases break down, to the point that witnesses sometimes defend themselves while ignoring him completely. Payne appears to view [url=https://vndb.org/c3941]Phoenix Wright[/url] as a sort of nemesis due to repeated losses against him in court, though this is one-sided. Fellow prosecutors, such as [url=https://vndb.org/c10833]Miles Edgeworth[/url], also seem to have a difficult time remembering him. His younger brother, Gaspen Payne, is also a prosecutor.

He is honest and straightforward, willing to do anything for the reputation of his hotel. He had a crush on [url=https://vndb.org/c10881]April May[/url]. [spoiler]The bellboy's testimony allowed the defense attorney, [url=https://vndb.org/c3941]Phoenix Wright[/url], to deduce that May had shared her hotel room with someone else. The bellboy later wrote an affidavit for Wright after he showed him a photograph of [url=https://vndb.org/c10882]Redd White[/url], confirming that White had checked in with May. Wright would go on to prove that White was Mia's murderer. Following the case, the bellboy kept the room that May and White stayed in as it was and charged extra for it. The hotel experienced an increase in popularity, which seemed to benefit the bellboy, as he took over management of the hotel within the following months. He often brought tea to Room 1202 of the Prosecutor's Building for [url=https://vndb.org/c10833]Miles Edgeworth[/url] (who was the prosecutor of Maya's trial). After one of Edgeworth's cases, he entered the office and found an apparent suicide note. At some point, he became employed by the Gatewater Land theme park, where he would play the role of the Proto Badger. He talked to the still-alive Edgeworth inside his costume during one of the latter's investigations.

He is good friends with the Judge. Gant is usually jovial and a bit eccentric, but is ultimately a respected leader of the police force. He has a habit of making up pet names for various people, such as "Wrighto" for Wright, "Worthy" for Edgeworth, and "Udgey" for the judge. Gant had a habit of playing with his hair when he's mulling something over and clapping whilst laughing when amused. He also shows a liking for swimming, and would often suggest communal swimming sessions between himself and others. When upset, he creates a long and ominous pause in the room while he simply stares at whoever upset him. [SPOILER] Prior to the SL-9 Incident, Damon Gant was the Chief Detective of the Los Angeles district. He and his partner, Lana Skye, became known as the "Legendary Duo" for their services to law enforcement. Gant also called himself the "crime computer", taking great pride in his crime-solving abilities. During Darke's interrogation (the SL-9 incident), a power outage occurred. Seeing his opportunity, Darke fled the room and, with Neil in hot pursuit, ended up in the joint office of Gant and Skye, where he found Skye's sister Ema. By the time Gant made it to the office, all three occupants were unconscious from a violent confrontation. More determined to convict Darke than ever, and seeing a chance to use the situation to his advantage, Gant cut a piece of cloth from Neil's vest with Ema's handprint on it, picked up the unconscious prosecutor, and impaled him on the sword of a suit of armor by Gant's desk, killing him. He then wrote the name "Ema" with the victim's blood on a nearby jar and broke it to create a fake clue. Lana arrived later and saw the crime scene. Gant told Lana to rearrange the crime scene to make it look like Darke had killed Neil, and Lana complied because she believed that Ema had accidentally killed Neil. Gant hid two items in his safe for "insurance" purposes: a piece of the jar with part of Ema's name on it, and the piece of cloth with Ema's handprint. Gant and Lana presented their false evidence to Neil's replacement, Miles Edgeworth. Thanks to this evidence, Darke was sentenced to death for his crimes. Gant later became Chief of Police and arranged for Lana to be Chief Prosecutor so that he could control her and the prosecutor's office. To make sure that the investigation team stayed quiet about the evidence, Chief Gant fired Angel Starr and demoted Jake to patrolman level. He let Goodman keep his position to draw away suspicion of his actions. For the next two years, Damon Gant blackmailed Lana Skye to keep control of the city's law enforcement. One day, shortly before the evidence from the SL-9 Incident was to be transferred into storage, Jake Marshall convinced Bruce Goodman to push for the reopening of the SL-9 case. Goodman hence approached Gant about the subject in the evidence room. Panicked, Gant killed Goodman with Darke's knife. He quickly tried to clean up the crime scene and enlisted the help of Lana Skye and Miles Edgeworth.

As well as being clumsy and excitable, Mike is an overzealous individual. He often salutes, calls everyone "sir", and uses his megaphone for dramatic effect even if the person he is talking to is standing right beside him. His clumsiness is easily demonstrated by the fact that he cannot even get out of his car without getting his tie caught in the car door two-thirds of the time; the remaining times it's his I.D. card. He even bungled bandaging a cut on his hand by covering his entire hand in bandages. Perhaps appropriately, considering his excitability and clumsiness, he aspires to one day to be like Detective Dick Gumshoe. [SPOILER] Mike also appears in Gyakuten Kenji during the events of "The Kidnapped Turnabout", in which he was assigned the role of dressing up as the Blue Badger at Gatewater Land. He reappeared again in Apollo Justice in "Turnabout Succession", apparently being demoted to court bailiff after one too many mistakes. He chased who he thought was Zak into Defendant Lobby #2, but inside the Lobby, he instead only found Zak's daughter Trucy. Wright returned to Defendant Lobby #2 and found Meekins there. Wright figured out that Trucy had used her giant "Mr. Hat" puppet to lure Meekins away from the real Zak.

Vasquez is generally very calm (to the point of appearing bored of everything around her) and rarely gets angry. She treats Manella like dirt, but the latter doesn't seem to mind. [SPOILER] In 2011 (5 years before the events of "Turnabout Samurai"), Dee Vasquez witnessed a fatal accident involving action star Jack Hammer and a fellow actor named Manuel. Vasquez was producing a show starring Jack Hammer, but during a fight scene, Hammer accidentally pushed Manuel onto some sharp fence tips, killing him. A paparazzo took a photo of the incident, but he was silenced by Vasquez's mob contacts. Vasquez later used the accident to blackmail Hammer into doing what she wanted, including working on kids' TV shows as villains for petty change. Five years later, Vasquez produced the TV show The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo, starring Will Powers as the Steel Samurai and Hammer as the villainous Evil Magistrate. By this time, Hammer was fed up with the blackmail; he donned Powers' Steel Samurai costume and confronted Vasquez in Studio 2 of Global Studios, intending to kill her. However, the ensuing fight ended with his (accidental) death on the same fence that had killed Manuel. Vasquez's extreme reaction to Manuel's death, as shown in a flashback, could indicate that she knew the actor personally. Alternatively, it may just show a producer panicking at having an actor die in front of her and under her care. She also at one point during Wright's investigation suggests that Manuel's death was not an accident, but that Hammer had done it on purpose. It's never confirmed whether what she says is true, although she does ask why else Hammer would let her mercilessly run his life otherwise.

He wants to do the best for his clients, but at the same time isn't about to put himself on the line for their sake.

She was a detective until she was fired after the events of the SL-9 Incident. Two years later, she was called as a witness in the murder of a fellow detective (Bruce Goodman) who had been involved in the SL-9 Incident. Starr has a strong hostility towards prosecutors, especially Lana Skye and Miles Edgeworth. Starr is an aggressive and promiscuous woman who has little trust in other people. She also has the habit of using her various boxed lunches to emphasize a point, to bribe someone or to indicate her true feelings towards someone. She always speaks with her bangs covering one eye. One of her personality quirks is that her more aggressive side causes her to flip her bangs to cover her left eye. Her left eye is brown and appears serene and sweet, while her right eye is grey and looks far more menacing. She seems perfectly aware of these two drastically different parts of her personality, saying that she is sometimes a demon but she could be an angel too. [SPOILER] Starr joined the police and rose to the rank of detective. She was very adept at getting criminals to confess, earning the nickname "Cough-Up Queen". Her career culminated in the investigation of the SL-9 Incident with fellow detectives Bruce Goodman, Jake Marshall, Lana Skye and Damon Gant, as well as prosecutor Miles Edgeworth. After SL-9, all the detectives involved in the case were either fired or demoted to patrolmen. Starr was one of those who lost their jobs completely. Like others, she suspected that the prosecutor's office had tampered with the evidence, and began to develop a cynical hatred toward prosecutors. Over the next two years, Starr used her new job as a boxed lunch vendor to visit the Prosecutor's Building and hopefully gain some insight as to what had really happened in the SL-9 Incident. She would boast that her lunches were imported from "the freshest and the best from the Far East". She also began to have multiple "boyfriends" who would help with her investigation. Meanwhile, Gant and Skye were promoted to Chief of Police and Chief Prosecutor, respectively. Before the SL-9 Incident, Starr looked up to and admired Lana Skye. However, when the aftermath left her without a job, she quickly developed a resentment towards Lana, believing her to have betrayed her colleagues. She also developed a passionate hatred towards prosecutors, who she believed to be corrupt.

He is flamboyant, arrogant, and self-centered and takes great pride in his questionable business practices. Redd White makes up words constantly (such as "splendiferous") and his speech is peppered with random, misused Spanish phrases. He does the same in the Japanese version, except using English instead. [Edited from [url=http://www.court-records.net/chara1-2.htm#redd]Court Records[/url]] [spoiler]Redd White runs the company known as Bluecorp, which specializes in obtaining information on people for blackmail purposes. During the DL-6 case, he leaked to the press that the police were secretly using the spirit medium [url=https://vndb.org/c14121]Misty Fey[/url] to assist with the investigation, information he received from [url=https://vndb.org/c10957]Marvin Grossberg[/url] through bribery. The leak and the outcome of the case tarnished the reputation of the Fey clan and caused Misty to go into hiding; White would use this to blackmail Grossberg. [url=https://vndb.org/c3942]Mia Fey[/url], Misty's daughter, would later investigate White's activities. White and his secretary, [url=https://vndb.org/c10881]April May[/url], kept tabs on Mia, including through the use of a wiretap. With the wiretap, they listened in on a phone conversation between Mia and her sister [url=https://vndb.org/c3944]Maya[/url], which revealed that the evidence Mia had on White was being stored in a clock shaped like [i]The Thinker[/i] that was in Mia's possession. White trespassed into Mia's office to destroy the evidence; he also killed Mia to prevent her from talking about his business practices. White attempted to pin the murder on Maya and later [url=https://vndb.org/c3941]Phoenix Wright[/url], who was representing Maya in court, when Wright suspected him of the murder. However, he was ultimately defeated when Mia, as channelled by Maya, threatened to reveal his blackmail victims in court, forcing him to confess to the murder.[/spoiler] - **Gender:** Male - **Aliases:** Hồng Thanh Bạch, แดง ขาวขจร, Daeng Khaokhachon - **Measurements:** Height: 178cm - **Clothes:** Brooch, Suit, Necktie, Ring - **Role:** Antagonist, Villain, Executive - **Hair:** No Bangs, Slicked Back, Short, Violet - **Body:** Young-adult, Muscular, Cleft Chin - **Personality:** Dishonest, Narcissist, Flamboyant, Arrogant, Made-up Words, Money Lover, Sly - **Engages in:** Frameup, Blackmail, Murder, Assault - **Eyes:** Brown, Hosome ### Mamiya Yumiko (間宮 由美子) Penny Nichols is a part-time assistant at Global Studios in charge of props.

He is accused of murdering Jack Hammer, his co-star who played the role of the Evil Magistrate (Steel Samurai's archnemesis). Powers' imposing figure belies his gentle and somewhat naïve nature, and he is extremely sensitive about the way he looks. He enjoys working with children, but always wears a mask in his acting roles so that he would not have to show his face in public and "ruin kids' dreams". Despite his friendly and kind-hearted nature, he has a tendency to be pessimistic and has a weakness for celebrity gossip. [SPOILER] Jack Hammer despised Powers for being the Steel Samurai, since the kids loved him and despised the Evil Magistrate, which was Hammer's role. Because of this, he drugged Powers's lunch with sleeping pills. The plan succeeded; Powers was feeling sleepy, and went to take a nap in his dressing room. Hammer then proceeded to take Powers's Steel Samurai costume and pretended to be him by dragging his left ankle to fool the security cameras and Oldbag. His plan was to frame Powers for the events that would take place. During the events of "Justice for All", it is revealed that he developed a crush on Adrian Andrews. He was also a witness in "Farewell, My Turnabout".

Frequently confused, he calls Wright "Keith" and Maya Fey "Meg", and he believes they're his children who had come back to him to inherit his "pasta shop". He also has the habit of falling asleep spontaneously. He owns a pet parrot called "Polly". [SPOILER] His real name is "Yanni Yogi", and his "senile, confused old man" demeanour is all an act. Yanni was a bailiff at the District Court, and was the prime suspect in the DL-6 Incident. In 2001, during the DL-6 incident, Yanni Yogi accompanied defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth and his son Miles into an elevator to leave the courthouse. Suddenly, an earthquake struck, shutting off the power and leaving the three stranded in the elevator for five hours. During this ordeal, Yogi panicked and attacked Gregory. During the struggle, Yogi's pistol fell out of its holster, and Miles tried to stop the fighting by throwing it. There was a single gunshot and a scream, and all three of the passengers fell unconscious. When Yogi woke up, Gregory Edgeworth was dead and he was the top suspect in the murder. Due to the lack of evidence against Yogi, the police used a spirit medium by the name of Misty Fey to contact Gregory's spirit. Gregory accused Yogi of the murder, so Yogi was arrested and put on trial for the murder. Yogi's lawyer, Robert Hammond, instructed him to plead temporary insanity to avoid conviction. Yogi did so and pretended to have succumbed to brain damage from the lack of oxygen in the elevator. This got Yogi an acquittal. Because Yogi had gained an acquittal through an insanity plea rather than a not guilty plea, he lost his social standing and his career as a bailiff. In addition to this, his fiancée, Polly Jenkins, committed suicide. Yogi blamed Hammond and Miles Edgeworth for what had happened to him, because he really had not done anything but had been compelled to admit both to wrongdoing and to crippling brain damage. Despite his troubles, he managed to land a job running a boat rental shop at Gourd Lake. He also burned his fingerprints off for the sake of hiding his real identity. Sometime in December 2016, Yogi received a letter from Prosecutor Manfred von Karma, which contained detailed instructions for killing Hammond and then framing Edgeworth for the murder. On Christmas Eve, Yogi called Hammond and Edgeworth to his shack. When Hammond arrived first, Yogi fatally shot him through the heart. About 15 minutes after midnight, Yogi put on Hammond's coat to disguise himself, and then he took Edgeworth on a boat ride to the middle of Gourd Lake. There, Yogi made known his intentions for revenge and shot the murder weapon twice, the first to attract the attention of any potential witnesses, and the second to give the witnesses a false crime scene for Hammond's murder. Yogi jumped backwards into the lake, leaving Edgeworth and the pistol on the boat. Yogi then put the coat back on the victim's body, threw it into Gourd Lake, and called the police, telling them that he had seen Edgeworth murder Hammond.[/SPOILER] [Based on his [URL=http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/Ace_Attorney_Wiki]Ace Attorney Wiki[/URL] page.] - **Gender:** Male - **Alias:** Caretaker - **Measurements:** Height: 173cm - **Body:** Old, Wrinkles, Pale, Left Handed - **Clothes:** Beanie, Scarf, Shirt, Sandals, Trousers - **Role:** Criminal Accomplice, Widower, Bodyguard, Shopkeeper, Pet Owner, Civil Servant, No Name - **Personality:** Pretending, Strange, Antisocial, Vindictive, Absentminded - **Hair:** Short, Beard, Moustache, Goatee, Stubble, Grey - **Engages in:** Murder, Revenge - **Eyes:** Brown ### Ooba Kaoru (大場 カオル) Wendy Oldbag is a talkative old woman who has worked as a security guard for various organizations such as Global Studios and KB Security. Oldbag mainly comes across as a stereotypical cranky old lady. She is prone to ramble on and on when given the opportunity, lecturing others about their behavior and comparing their actions to the "good old days". She is also very stubborn, especially with those she views as "young whippersnappers", and reacts badly to anyone bad-mouthing her crushes. She has not kept track of her age since her 20s, so even she doesn't know her real age.

Much of the photographic evidence in said cases comes from her. Hart is fierce and loud, but well-meaning. She defends her secrets ferociously, but she is always willing to help Wright, just not for free. Hart is often single-minded in the pursuit of her goals and gets aggravated if she thinks people are mocking her or her homeland. Although she was a paranormal photographer at one point, she is "really bad when it comes to blood and ghosts and stuff", suggesting her want to leap into situations without forethought. Hart also has a habit of changing her job each time Wright sees her. However, it usually incorporates her photography abilities. [SPOILER] Phoenix Wright's first encounter with the fiery red-head was during "Turnabout Goodbyes". She had heard about Gourdy and planned to capture a photograph of the beast. Going by an article in the local newspaper, Hart set up a camera on the shore of Gourd Lake that was set to respond to loud noises. She then pretended to be a college student taking photographs of meteor showers so as to throw off any "shutterbugs" that might try to steal her scoop. The next time Wright encountered Hart was a year later in Kurain Village. She was a self-styled "paranormal photographer" and was in search of another big scoop. She was present outside Fey Manor's Channeling Chamber when Turner Grey was shot and dashed into the room with Wright to find what appeared to be a possessed Maya Fey covered in blood, with the dead body of Grey lying in his own blood. Hart quickly snapped a couple of photographs (despite protests from Wright) before being herded from the room by Morgan Fey. Lotta Hart appeared at the Gatewater Imperial Hotel during the Hero of Heroes Grand Prix (in the events of "Farewell, My Turnabout") in order to get a tabloid scoop on the scandal between Adrian Andrews and Juan Corrida. She wrote a note saying that Matt Engarde had made Adrian Andrews get close to Juan Corrida keep an eye on him (as they were rivals). Wendy Oldbag, a security guard at the hotel, stole Hart's camera, and used it to take a picture of the Nickel Samurai (really Adrian Andrews) leaving the crime scene. In Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Hart was spotted by Miles Edgeworth and Kay Faraday during a Steel Samurai show at an embassy. Edgeworth vaguely remembered her but avoided interacting with her due to a feeling that talking to her would be very unpleasant for him. She later took a photo of the Yatagarasu apparently flying above the rose garden in the embassy. In Gyakuten Kenji 2, three weeks after the Yatagarasu incident, Mikiko Hayami clued Hart in on a black market evidence auction going on at the Big Tower. Hart learned of a secret 51st floor above the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee meeting room, accessible only through a hatch and ladder on the viewing platform at the top of the tower. The two decided to work together on this scoop; Hart would infiltrate the 51st floor, while Hayami would use a wiretapping device to intercept wireless communications.

Hackins appears to be very intelligent for his age. He is able to use the internet well and is very good at forcing people into bargains and winning them. He is also very short-tempered, rude and unfriendly to most people. Hackins is obsessed with the Steel Samurai, almost to the point of delirium. He is known for sneaking into the studios, taping every show, and going to every live performance to take pictures for his "Path to Glory" scrapbook. Hackins' father also takes him to the Steel Samurai amusement park every year.

[spoiler] Polly's owner was Yanni Yogi, who named her after his late fiancée Polly Jenkins. When Yogi was accused of murdering [url=https://vndb.org/c14120]Gregory Edgeworth[/url] in the high-profile "DL-6" case, his defense attorney, [url=https://vndb.org/c14285]Robert Hammond[/url], argued a successful insanity plea. Though Yogi escaped conviction, the case destroyed his social standing, and Jenkins committed suicide. Yogi taught Polly to talk, though she would only respond if her name was said first. Among the things Yogi taught Polly were the combination to his safe and to respond with "Don't forget DL-6!" when asked if someone had forgotten something. Polly remained in Yogi's shack as his only company after DL-6. She was therefore present when Yogi met with Hammond inside the shack fifteen years after DL-6 and murdered him. When [url=https://vndb.org/c10833]Miles Edgeworth[/url] was arrested for the murder, Miles's lawyer [url=https://vndb.org/c3941]Phoenix Wright[/url] and Wright's assistant [url=https://vndb.org/c3944]Maya Fey[/url] entered the shack during their investigation. They were shocked when Polly mentioned the safe combination and DL-6. Yogi testified as a witness in Miles's trial, but when Wright found inconsistencies in the testimony, Yogi fled, leaving Polly in the shack. Fey was eager to adopt the bird, but Wright said that the police would likely do something about her. Yogi was eventually captured, though he claimed that he had only gone to get food for Polly; he stated that Polly was "a bit of a gourmand" and would only eat high-quality bird pellets from France, which could only be bought from a "big pet shop downtown". He claimed that he was on his way back to his shack when he was arrested. When Wright struggled to get information from Yogi, prosecutor [url=https://vndb.org/c14292]Manfred von Karma[/url] taunted him, stating, "Perhaps you'd like to cross-examine the parrot for a little comic relief, hmm?". Against everyone's expectations, Wright decided to do exactly that and called Polly as a witness. However, Polly did not respond when asked about DL-6; it soon became apparent that von Karma had Polly retrained to avoid mentioning the case. Wright was however able to confirm her owner, who had been hiding his identity, as Yogi by linking Polly's namesake and the combination of the safe being the date DL-6 took place. Yogi, his cover blown, then confessed to the murder of Hammond. The fact that Wright had cross-examined a parrot was one of the reasons [url=https://vndb.org/c53623]Sasha Buckler[/url] sought him out years later in defense of an orca accused of killing Jack Shipley.

During [url=https://vndb.org/c3944]Maya Fey[/url]'s trial for Mia's murder, April was called as a witness. As per White's instruction, she falsely testified that she had seen Maya kill Mia.

Manella has a penchant for speaking in "L33T" and reciting internet memes. He has been seen referencing Yakov Smirnoff's "Russian reversal" jokes, as well as the "Over 9000!" meme. Once under pressure, however, he speaks normally. He sweats a lot and comes off as a little creepy due to his "nerdy" personality- especially to women, such as the unsuspecting Maya Fey. He begins drooling when he encounters attractive members of the opposite sex. He also has a great liking of food, salivating as much at the mention of food as at the sight of a pretty girl. Manella is submissive to Vasquez, with her treating him like dirt. He doesn't seem to mind, however. [SPOILER] During a board meeting at Studio Two, Hammer, dressed as the Steel Samurai, attacked producer Dee Vasquez. However, Vasquez, in self-defense, pushed her attacker onto a spike-tipped fence which killed him. Manella helped to cover up the crime by cleaning up the crime scene. They then incinerated the bloodied Steel Samurai costume and dressed Hammer in the Evil Magistrate costume. The head of a giant caricature of the Global Studios mascot, Mr. Monkey, had broken off during a storm and blocked off the only path out of Studio Two, trapping Vasquez and Manella. However, once the path had been cleared, they moved Hammer's body via a studio van to Studio One and planted the Samurai Spear nearby to make it look like Powers had killed Hammer with the prop. Despite being an accomplice to manslaughter and lying in court, it appears that no severe charges were brought against Manella as two months later The Pink Princess was a hit television show. Not only that, but two years later, Manella himself was seen at an airport happily eating some food and talking to himself about his next television show, including plans for a Steel Samurai film.

He claimed to be a newspaper salesman. [SPOILER]Sahwit was actually a burglar, and pretended to sell newspapers so that he could learn when people left their homes in order to burgle them. During one of his burglaries, Sahwit was caught in the act by the owner of the apartment, Stone. He picked up the nearest thing he could find, a clock-statue of [i]The Thinker[/i], and hit her over the head with it. The clock then spoke the time, which Sahwit believed was the real time. She died of blood loss, and Sahwit decided to frame her boyfriend Butz, who had visited her apartment on the day of the murder. Sahwit was called as the sole witness to the murder. His testimony was full of holes that Wright could exploit, even giving testimony that contradicted his earlier statements, and he soon reached a point in which he was accused of the murder. He then switched from his sycophantic persona into his real, rage-filled nature. He flung his toupée at Wright and said that he could not prove that the clock was three hours slow at the time of the murder. Wright - with the aid of [url=https://vndb.org/c3942]Mia Fey[/url] - explained that Stone had gone to France the day before the murder; she had not yet adjusted the time back to the local time, so the clock was actually nine hours ahead. Sahwit broke down on the stand; he hyperventilated and collapsed. Butz was subsequently declared not guilty, Wright's career took off, and Sahwit was convicted and imprisoned. For the next few years, Sahwit began training as an animal groomer for the therapy animals living in the prison, hoping that this would help get his sentence reduced. One day, he fell and broke his electronic prison bracelet, which would send an electric shock to prisoners who tried to enter certain rooms unattended. Because of this, he was secretly able to move about the prison as he liked. Prison warden Fifi Laguarde found out, but instead of punishing him or replacing the bracelet, she decided to use him toward her own ends. On a weekly basis, Sahwit would access the circuit breaker and cut the power, then return later on to restore the power. In exchange, he would be able to keep his little secret, and Laguarde would give him special treatment. He ended up discovering the body of [url=https://vndb.org/c19280]Bronco Knight[/url], who had been arrested and placed in detention for murder.

He often makes references to the state of Texas, even though he is actually from Los Angeles. Jake is obsessed with the Wild West. He dresses in a poncho and speaks like a stereotypical cowboy. He also tends to be calm and not easily flustered. His second favorite food is Angel Starr's Salisbury steak lunch, his favorite being spaghetti from his local joint. Jake has a laid-back attitude to his duties as a guard. He's supposed to go inside the evidence room to check it three times a day, but states that it's "not his style" and actually only visits the room once a month to "pay [his] respects". [SPOILER] On February of 2015, during the events of the SL-9 incident, Jake Marshall took a case with his brother Neil Marshall, detective Angel Starr, detective Bruce Goodman and chief detectives Damon Gant and Lana Skye to track down serial killer Joe Darke. However, tragedy stuck when Darke escaped police custody during a blackout and ran into Neil and Ema Skye. Neil was found dead. Darke was tried for Neil's death on top of his other murders and he was found guilty. After the incident, Jake was demoted to patrolman, guard of the evidence room, but Jake, alongside Starr and Goodman, thought something was wrong with the evidence. Before his demotion, he acted as a mentor to Dick Gumshoe when Dick started out in the force, giving him a small cactus that he claimed would "listen to all [his] troubles." For the next two years, Jake tried to convince his peers and superiors to reopen the SL-9 case to find out the truth about what happened to his brother. Even though Starr supported him, Goodman stood steadfast. Finally on February 21st, 2017, the day the SL-9 case was to be closed permanently, Jake stole Goodman's ID. With his knowledge of where the security cameras were, his plan was to disguise himself as Goodman and steal the evidence to examine them himself. However, he hadn't made up his mind. Around 5:00 PM, Jake received a call from Lana Skye, who told him Goodman had been murdered. Realizing he only had one chance to find out the truth, he put on his disguise and went inside the evidence room. By luck, Goodman's locker was open, but was empty. (The locks in the evidence room had fingerprint scans, meaning only the detective it was assigned to could open it. In this case, a plastic glove was jammed between the sensors. Jake didn't know anything about them.) Jake then went to head back out, but was stopped by officer Mike Meekins. Meekins asked for his ID, but Jake panicked and pulled out a knife, knowing his cover would be blown if he did. Meekins lunged at the knife, cut his own hand and passed out. With his white coat bloodied, Jake went to his own locker and stuffed the coat inside, but mistakenly left a sleeve out. The next day, Jake was assigned to guard the crime scene, which was at the underground parking lot of the prosecutor's office, and ditched Goodman's ID card there. He assisted defense attorney Phoenix Wright and Lana's sister Ema Skye when they came to investigate; Lana had been accused of Goodman's murder, and Ema had hired Wright to represent her in court. After court was suspended for the day, Jake decided to turn himself in to the prosecutor's office, but not before giving Wright more information. When the trial resumed the next day, Wright used his information in concert with other information he had gathered to prove that Gant was the real killer in the murders of both Goodman and Neil.

On his way home, Joe Darke accidentally hit a man with his car, killing him. Out of paranoia, he killed a man who witnessed the accident. An elderly lady witnessed this murder, and Darke killed her as well. A child and a jogger soon joined them when they saw the bodies of the victims. A special police team investigated these killings and believed that Darke was the culprit, but they lacked the decisive evidence needed for a conviction. This incident was known as the SL-9 Incident in police files. He was wrongfully convicted and executed for the murder of Neil Marshall (the only one of the victims that he did not kill) through fake evidence. Joe Darke was put on trial against Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, and he was convicted and sentenced to death. He was later executed. The real killer, Damon Gant, was not arrested for Marshall's murder until two years later.[/SPOILER] [Based on his [URL=http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/Ace_Attorney_Wiki]Ace Attorney Wiki[/URL] page.] - **Gender:** Male - **Engages in:** Mass Murder, Manslaughter - **Body:** Adult, Wrinkles, Pale - **Clothes:** Suit, Jacket, Necktie, Vest, Formal Shirt, Trousers, Dress Shoes - **Eyes:** Sanpaku Eyes - **Hair:** Slicked Back, Short, Straight - **Items:** Knife - **Role:** Criminal - **Subject of:** Homicide ### Ayasato Maiko (綾里 舞子) Misty Fey was the Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique and head of the Fey clan.

[spoiler]At the height of his popularity, Hammer, while filming a scene, accidentally pushed co-star Manuel onto a spiked fence, which killed him. [url=https://vndb.org/c14280]Dee Vasquez[/url], the producer, covered up the incident and used it to blackmail Hammer into playing low-paid villain roles, including that of the Evil Magistrate. Eventually, Hammer grew tired of this and formulated a plan to murder Vasquez and frame Powers for it. He drugged Powers with sleeping pills, then stole his Steel Samurai costume and put it on. Faking a limp that Powers sustained in a scene run-through, Hammer moved past the security cameras to implicate him. He went to Studio Two and made to kill Vasquez with the Samurai Spear prop. However, during the struggle, Vasquez accidentally pushed Hammer onto the same fence that killed Manuel, killing him. Vasquez proceeded to cover up Hammer's death with help from [url=https://vndb.org/c14294]Sal Manella[/url], including driving the corpse to Studio One in an attempt to divert suspicion away from herself and onto Powers.

He was the kind of defense attorney who was not afraid to stand up against corruption. He used a calm, methodical, and logical approach to his investigations, preferring to use logic and confront witnesses directly at the scene rather than use the sorts of methods that Phoenix Wright or Apollo Justice would later use. He also had a rather serious, professional demeanor at all times, only smiling when he made a mistake and got a penalty, though it was more of a nervous grin. Miles inherited much of his father's methods, though he would come off as cold and ruthless due to his relative lack of tact. In December 2000, Gregory took on the case of Samson Tangaroa, a famous television chef. He was aided in his investigation by Eddie Fender, a young man who idolized him. The case was would later officially become known as the "IS-7 Incident". During his investigation into the crime, Gregory butted heads with Manfred von Karma, a legendary prosecutor with a perfect win record. As he and Fender became more involved in the case, he realized that von Karma wasn't just keeping him away from the scene because he didn't want the defense gaining any sort of advance; he was actively trying to hide something. Even Tyrell Badd, the detective who was supposed to lead the investigation, was continually stymied by von Karma's authority, and he eventually decided to ally with Gregory. Eventually, Gregory was able to figure out what von Karma was hiding; the body of the victim had disappeared before an autopsy could be carried out. During the subsequent trial, Gregory accused von Karma of hiding the disappearance of the body. However, von Karma produced a falsified autopsy report, verified by the police, and so the trial continued for a year. Eventually, Tangaroa falsely confessed to being an accomplice to the murder, but with Badd's help, Gregory revealed that the confession had been coerced. Although Gregory still lost the case, this bombshell revelation gave Manfred von Karma the only penalty on his "perfect" record, which enraged the perfection-obsessed prosecutor. The majority of the blame was shifted onto Ian Sideman, the initial lead detective before Badd, who was subsequently fired. After the trial, Gregory and Miles proceeded to leave the courthouse, accompanied by Yanni Yogi, a court bailiff. Gregory hoped to get a retrial for his client. However, an earthquake struck the building and shut the power down, leaving the three stranded in an elevator for five hours. Eventually, the oxygen supply diminished, and Yogi started to panic. The two men fought, leaving Miles to try and stop them by throwing Yogi's pistol, which had been loosened from the man's belt. The gun went off, hitting von Karma, who had wandered in front of the elevator door. Just then, the elevator door opened; already outraged by his penalty and in shock from his wound, von Karma picked up the gun and, finding all three of the elevator's occupants passed out, shot Gregory. Gregory Edgeworth died, never knowing who had killed him. His spirit later spoke through a spirit medium named Misty Fey, blaming Yogi for the murder.

He was the victim in [url=https://vndb.org/c3941]Phoenix Wright[/url]'s fourth case, with [url=https://vndb.org/c10833]Miles Edgeworth[/url] being accused of his murder. [SPOILER]Hammond was considered a skilled defense attorney, and was working at the Grossberg Law Offices fifteen years prior to his murder. However, he was also known for not placing any faith in his clients, working to win cases only for himself. This put him at odds with some of his colleagues. In 2001, Hammond represented [url=https://vndb.org/c160509]Yanni Yogi[/url] when he was accused of the murder of [url=https://vndb.org/c14120]Gregory Edgeworth[/url], a case known to the police as the "DL-6 Incident". Due to the strong evidence and testimony against his client, Hammond claimed that oxygen deprivation had rendered Yogi temporarily insane. While Yogi was acquitted, his life took a turn for the worse: His fiancée killed herself, he was fired, and his friends abandoned him. Hammond later left Grossberg's company and kept a low profile for the rest of his life. Fifteen years later, Hammond went to Gourd Lake after receiving a letter from Yogi. However, this was a trap; Yogi wanted revenge on Hammond for the insanity plea ruining his life. They met, and Yogi shot and killed Hammond inside his shack. Yogi took Hammond's coat and disguised himself as his former lawyer to carry out a plan to frame Miles, who Yogi thought was Gregory's actual killer, for Hammond's murder. Wright represented Miles in court against [url=https://vndb.org/c14292]Manfred von Karma[/url] and was eventually able to expose Yogi as Hammond's murderer. It was also revealed that von Karma had sent Yogi a letter with instructions on how to murder Hammond and frame Miles, and that von Karma was Gregory's killer.

Bruce was a homicide detective working for the Los Angeles Police Department. [SPOILER] According to Jake Marshall, Goodman was not a particularly gifted detective, but he was a good man. Just like Jake and Starr, Goodman had his suspicions about the resolution of the SL-9 Incident. However, it took constant pestering by Jake Marshall for Goodman to finally confront Gant with his doubts, with unfortunate consequences. Bruce Goodman was the head investigator of the SL-9 case, tracking down serial killer Joe Darke, along with his fellow investigators Angel Starr and Jake Marshall. The detectives who supervised the investigation were the legendary detectives Damon Gant and Lana Skye. Darke escaped during questioning and attacked Lana's sister Ema Skye; the ensuing confrontation ended in the murder of prosecutor Neil Marshall. Goodman interviewed Ema, and her testimony assisted in Darke's conviction. The aftermath of the case saw Gant rise to the position of chief of police and Lana promoted to chief prosecutor. However, suspicion began to grow on the handling of the case, Gant fired Angel Starr and demoted Jake Marshall to patrolman. Unlike his comrades, Goodman kept his position, but he still felt the scars of the outcome of SL-9. Jake came to Goodman two years after the SL-9 incident, wanting his help to re-investigate the case before the evidence was transferred. At first, Goodman turned him down. However, Jake was not dissuaded and he stole Goodman's I.D. card. Still needing to transfer the evidence, he entered the police department's evidence room with Gant. Inside, he spoke out about his doubts over the case and asked for the case to be re-opened and to let him hand over the evidence to Jake Marshall. Gant panicked, picked up Darke's knife from the evidence and killed Goodman. The body was then carried to the Prosecutor's office by Miles Edgeworth's car (unbeknownst to Edgeworth) and left with Lana Skye to cover up the evidence. However, Lana was caught by Starr with the body and accused of the murder.

Cindy was Larry's ex-girlfriend. She worked as an international model. [SPOILER] Stone was the girlfriend of Larry Butz for some time before her death but dumped him before her murder. Butz was not willing to let her go, however, and constantly tried to get into contact with her, but she ignored him completely. Although she was a model, her income was low and she had to rely on the generosity of her numerous "sugar daddies" to supplement her income. Shortly before her murder, Stone went on a photo shoot in Paris. Whilst there she also met with one of these "sugar daddies". Although she had dumped Butz, she carried a heavy clock in the shape of "The Thinker" with her on her travels of which Butz had made two: one for him and one for her. The day after her return from Paris, Stone came home to find an intruder in her apartment: the burglar Frank Sahwit. Sahwit was startled and picked up the nearest object to use as a weapon: "The Thinker". He brought it down on her head and left her to die of blood loss on the wooden floor of her home. Panicked at having committed murder, Sahwit attempted to blame the crime on Butz, who had visited the apartment earlier to try and talk to Stone. Butz went to court, represented by his childhood friend Phoenix Wright. Despite this being Wright's first case, he uncovered Sahwit's lies and the common burglar was found guilty of Cindy Stone's murder.

[SPOILER] Neil Marshall was the prosecutor in charge of the SL-9 case; it was the first time that he and his brother Jake worked together. On that day, Neil Marshall was named King of Prosecutors. He took a picture of himself holding his King of Prosecutors trophy with Detective Lana Skye and Chief Detective Damon Gant. After the award ceremony, Marshall and Gant went off to question Joe Darke, the suspect in the SL-9 Incident, about all the crimes he had committed. A sudden thunderstorm shut off the power, allowing Darke to escape from the room. The prosecutor chased off after him and found him in the office of Detectives Gant and Skye, where Darke was holding Lana's younger sister Ema hostage. Marshall attempted to save her by knocking Darke unconscious with the award he had just received. Ema, believing the man to be Darke, shoved Marshall aside and fell unconscious. Gant came in afterward and, seeing an opportunity to solidify the case against Darke and therefore secure his promotion to chief of police, proceeded to lift Marshall's unconscious body and place it onto the spear of a suit of armour in the room, thereby killing the unfortunate prosecutor. Gant also modified the evidence to make it seem like Ema was the true killer of Marshall, in case anyone examined the case too closely.
