Description
**The Unnamed Judge:**
An elderly male presiding judge with distinctive large eyebrows and a beard. Childhood school report cards documented poor hearing, leading to frequent mistakes; this occasionally causes misunderstandings during trials. His judicial career spans over 16 years, including numerous high-profile cases involving the Wright Anything Agency.
Key early cases:
- The 2012 second KG-8 Incident: He initially accused Detective Dick Gumshoe of murder after misinterpreting a balloon pop as a gunshot, corrected by prosecutor Miles Edgeworth.
- The 2014 trial of Phoenix Wright (defended by Mia Fey): Oversaw the exposure of Dahlia Hawthorne as the true culprit.
He presided over multiple consequential trials during Phoenix Wright’s career:
- Larry Butz’s 2016 acquittal.
- Maya Fey’s trial for Mia Fey’s murder, revealing blackmailer Redd White.
- Actor Will Powers’ trial, exposing producer Dee Vasquez as the killer.
- Edgeworth’s murder trial, where Manfred von Karma’s tactics instilled fear; von Karma was exposed as Gregory Edgeworth’s true killer.
- The 2017 DL-6 Incident retrial, absolving Edgeworth of patricide accusations.
Additional cases:
- Lana Skye’s trial for Bruce Goodman’s murder implicated police chief Damon Gant—a longtime friend—causing the Judge personal distress.
- Maya Fey’s second trial (Dr. Turner Grey’s murder), resulting in Mimi Miney’s exposure.
- Maggey Byrde’s trial, impacted by Wright’s temporary amnesia.
He maintains a consistent demeanor, occasionally displaying humor or personal anecdotes like misplacing dentures.
**Verity Gavèlle:**
A judge appearing in *Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit*, serving on the Committee for Prosecutorial Excellence to evaluate prosecutors for potential removal. She adopted her cousin Amelie Fenn’s son Shaun after Amelie’s death, drawing strength from their bond. Initially stoic and devoted to impartiality, she viewed emotions as weakness but evolved to recognize personal bonds as sources of resolve. She clashed ideologically with Miles Edgeworth, prioritizing strict legal authority over his pursuit of truth above procedure.
Gavèlle investigated corruption tied to former Chief Prosecutor Excelsius Winner, secretly aiding Edgeworth in a committee hearing to expose Winner’s evidence tampering and murder of attorney Rosie Ringer. When Winner kidnapped Shaun to manipulate her, she stalled proceedings while Edgeworth intervened, leading to Winner’s downfall. Her meticulous crime scene investigations sometimes involved striking the floor with her gavel, leaving marks.
Both judges demonstrate adaptability throughout their careers.
