Miles Edgeworth

Miles Edgeworth is a Chief Prosecutor of the prosecutor's office. During his first four years as a prosecutor, he had a perfect win record in trials and was willing to do just about anything to get a guilty verdict for the defendant. His defeat in court at the hand of his childhood friend Phoenix Wright was the beginning of a series of seismic shifts in his attitude concerning his profession. He even quit twice, only to return each time with a fresh outlook on how he conducted his life.

By the time of the Mask☆DeMasque trials, he had become an international prosecutor who had prosecuted in five other countries, as well as being known as the top prosecutor in his homeland. His goal as a prosecutor is to seek the truth above all else, and to use the power of the law to save people.Edgeworth's primary strength is his brilliant mind. Not only is he naturally a literal genius, but he's spent his entire life since the age of nine completely dedicated to the path of the prosecutor. As such, his education is ridiculously extensive. His main focuses are law and rhetoric, of course, but he's well versed in other subjects as well – literature, history, biology, philosophy, botany, languages...you name the subject, and chances are Edgeworth's studied it.

Edgeworth's courtroom skills come in handy even off the job. When he's in Serious Business Mode, his personality is a force to be reckoned with. He's been likened to a demon in the court, and not without good reason – so long as he's purposely trying to be persuasive or manipulative, he can be whatever he wants to be. He's been smooth and captivating, cold yet effectively logical, understatedly yet effectively threatening, and everything in between. That being said..this all falls apart once you remove the pretense of work. No matter how good he is at enthralling audiences and breaking down opponents, when things become personal or friendly, he doesn't quite know how to deal with people anymore, usually making him either clam up.

Due to the incompetence and corruption inherent in his world's police force, Edgeworth is accustomed to taking charge of investigations and interrogations himself. As such, he is extremely observant and thorough, and makes an excellent detective. His logical skills and wit are quick and powerful.
