Miles Edgeworth (Japanese: Reiji Mitsurugi) is one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Apollo Justice) of the Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban/Turnabout Trial in Japan) franchise.
He is the deuteragonist of the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, the main protagonist of the Investigations duology, and a major character of the Apollo Justice Trilogy.
He is the Chief Prosecutor of Los Angeles that currently works to repair the justice system to prevent innocent people from being convicted. He is the best friend and arch-rival of Phoenix Wright.
He is voiced in Japanese by Tatsuro Iwamoto in the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, Eiji Takemoto in the Apollo Justice Trilogy, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Project X Zone 2, and Masashi Tamaki in the anime. In English, he is voiced by Seon King in the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, Kyle Hebert in the Apollo Justice Trilogy, Mark Healy in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and Christopher Wehkamp (as an adult) and Apphia Yu (as a child) in the anime.
Overview[]
Miles Edgeworth is the main prosecutor of the first game, with frequent reappearances in subsequent games. By-the-book and skillful, but less than honest at first; he tampered with witnesses and coached their testimony in some earlier cases, although despite allegations in the first game, the only time he used illicit evidence, he had no idea it was forged (but that didn't stop him from using it). He's Phoenix's childhood friend, and his actions in grade school inspired Phoenix's desire to be an attorney.
He then featured as a main character in the spin-off series called Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, taking place between the events of Trials and Tribulations and Apollo Justice. By the time of Dual Destinies, he has become Chief Prosecutor, with duties that generally keep him away from the prosecuting bench.
Appearance[]
Edgeworth has grey eyes and dark grey hair. During the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy and most of the Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth series, he wears a red suit with a black waistcoat, black shoes, and a white cravat tied around his neck.
Personality[]
Edgeworth is usually calm and level-headed, but is typically seen as a snob due to his cold, ruthless, and generally aloof nature. He has a certain lack of social skills and tact, making him very insecure and awkward around others. In fact, he was taught as a child to glare at people who looked at him, unwittingly intimidating them.
He also has difficulties with some names, referring to the Global Studios mascot "Mr. Monkey" as "Mrs. Monkey", calling Psyche-Locks "Psycholocks", and referring to the robot Ponco by the name "Panko", despite the latter's numerous attempts at correcting him. Edgeworth dislikes the limelight and often tries to credit other people or circumstances for his accomplishments, and sees no value in awards or trophies. He hates showing his weaknesses, and resists other people's attempts to get involved with his problems.
Although he generally loathes to admit it, Miles cares deeply for his friends, going to great lengths to assist them. Though he often insists that Gumshoe and Faraday are little more than nuisances to him, they form a formidable team, and he greatly appreciates and respects their presence and assistance. Nonetheless, he is not always aware that he comes off as cruel or condescending, or even that he is glaring at someone.
Edgeworth is an avid fan of The Steel Samurai, though he attempts to keep this a secret from others. When he told Will Powers that he was a fan of his work, Wright believed that he was lying. Edgeworth keeps a Steel Samurai figure on display in his office (gifted to him by Wendy Oldbag), and also once hid a Steel Samurai manga inside one of his law books to read during a flight back to the United States. During the goodwill event at the Allebahstian and Babahlese Embassy, he received an autograph from the Steel Samurai, but was crushed to find that it was Larry Butz under the mask, refused to acknowledge him as the Steel Samurai, and tossed the autograph away. While in Khura'in, he was shocked and disgusted by the existence of The Plumed Punisher, which he compared unfavorably to the Steel Samurai.
