Jobs: Prosecutor, monk from Khura'in, Queen Regent for his little sister Rayfa. Nickname: Last Rites Prosecutor

Personality: Despite having a soft demeanor, Sahdmadhi has quite a sharp tongue, regularly invoking insulting metaphors and Khura'inese sayings to chew out the defense for any error he detects. While serving under Ga'ran, he has no tolerance for the defense attorney profession, considering it an unenlightened walk of life that must be quashed and punished by the rule of "the Holy Mother". He has a habit of using his beads to accentuate his points, such as stretching them out, taking them off and slamming the desk with it gripped in his hand, nervously holding them, throwing them at the defense (wrapping them around Apollo's forehead, on Phoenix's arm, and around Athena's body, although Blackquill did slice the second set of beads thrown at her), and constricting them with them and somehow using them to inflict pain on them after they use up their "three chances" (i.e. they significantly irritate him three times), and, when beaten, breaking them and getting knocked down with them. He has a tendency to view the court trial as a religious service, performing last rites for the deceased (hence his nickname of the Last Rites Prosecutor) and giving them peace by convicting their killers.

While he is, for the most part, a law-abiding, religious man, his prejudice and much of his holier-than-thou attitude is a farce; Sahdmadhi was originally a member of the Defiant Dragons, a resistance group seeking to revolutionize the broken and corrupt court system of Khura'in. He, however, was blackmailed by his aunt, who had threatened him with exposure of Rayfa Padma Khura'in as his sister rather than his cousin - which would result in Khura'in's prejudice towards the children of criminals, especially ones as heinous as Dhurke seemingly was - resulting in her becoming a social pariah, and a target for political assassins who did not wish her to be queen if he did not acquiesce to her corrupt administration. In time, Sahdmadhi came to believe that opposing her was impossible, and acquiescented to being her enforcer, which in turn gave him a rather nihilist and resigned outlook at life, frequently telling defense attorneys to "let go, and move on" and growing increasingly more irritated when met with defiant refusals to not give up. It wasn't until being defeated repeated times in court and when it was revealed that Ga'ran was behind the attempted assassination, that he began to regain hope and the will to oppose the queen, firmly believing Justice would be able to bring her downfall.

His true attitudes are shown in his polite and gracious treatment of Skye; despite the fact that she regularly finds evidence that ends up destroying his case, he never brings her to task for it and in fact regularly compliments her abilities. He was, however, at one point sufficiently annoyed that he warned that she would be made to endure an 8-hour long sermon, which left her visibly terrified, implying this was not the first time he had done it. A rather cultured man, he seems particularly well-versed in rakugo stories. Peaches are a favorite of his, and he seems to like soba as well. He also seems to like burgers, specifically the Southwestern burger with Jalapeno Jack cheese.

Biography: Nahyuta Sahdmadhi was born to attorney Dhurke Sahdmadhi and Amara Sigatar Khura'in, the queen of the Kingdom of Khura'in at the time. However, in 2005, an assassination attempt on Amara was carried out and Dhurke was almost found innocent of the crime, but was accused of forging evidence. Dhurke was forced to go on the run, while Nahyuta was exiled from the royal family for the crimes of his father. Nahyuta ended up living in the mountains with his father and the rest of the Defiant Dragons, along with Apollo Justice who Dhurke had adopted as a foster son. Nahyuta grew up with Justice and Dhurke until Justice left for the United States, adopting the Defiant Dragons' philosophy.

Dhurke eventually found Amara thirteen years after they went into hiding, discovering that she had not actually been killed, and they had Nahyuta's younger sister, Rayfa Padma Khura'in while on the run. Unfortunately, Amara was caught by the new queen, Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in. Dhurke and Nahyuta lived a life of solitude in the mountains until Nahyuta began to study to become a prosecutor, despite the harsh conditions that he endured for being the son of a wanted criminal.

At age 20, he became a prosecutor, and tried to fight for revolution from inside the law. However, Queen Ga'ran noticed this and used Rayfa and Amara as collateral to control him, threatening to expose the truth behind Rayfa's parentage and ruin her through Dhurke, forcing her to suffer as Nahyuta had. Nahyuta was thus forced to bend to her whim, the idea of revolution dying out inside him to protect the good name of his family. After the Khura'inese Revolution he became the regent for his littl sister Rayfa.

As an international prosecutor - Nahyuta is still learning American customs given Khura'in has a wide cultural difference.
