Godot, born Diego Armando, served as a defense attorney at Grossberg Law Offices and shared a romantic bond with Mia Fey. As co-counsel in Mia’s first trial defending Terry Fawles, he witnessed Terry’s fatal decision to ingest poison, shielding the true culprit, Dahlia Hawthorne. The trauma of this event propelled Diego to confront Dahlia, who retaliated by poisoning his coffee, inducing a five-year coma. Upon awakening, he learned of Mia’s murder and Dahlia’s execution, adopting the alias "Godot" to pursue a prosecutorial career. Driven by unresolved grief, he sought to test Phoenix Wright, Mia’s protégé, whom he held responsible for her death.  
His signature visor concealed vision damage from the poisoning, rendering him unable to perceive red—a flaw that hindered investigations, causing oversights like missed bloodstains. Known for a composed demeanor, poetic metaphors, and relentless coffee consumption—seventeen daily cups sustained his focus and numbed his anguish.  
Godot relentlessly opposed Phoenix in pivotal cases, including the Mask☆DeMasque theft-murder and Maggey Byrde’s retrial, employing psychological pressure and precise evidence analysis. Despite consistent defeats, his hidden agenda involved safeguarding Maya Fey from assassination schemes by her aunt, Morgan Fey.  
His final confrontation unfolded at Hazakura Temple, where he intercepted Dahlia Hawthorne—channeled through Misty Fey—to prevent Maya’s murder. Consumed by vengeance, he fatally stabbed Misty, unaware of her identity due to his visor’s impairment. He manipulated the crime scene, concealing invisible bloodstains by shoveling snow and relocating the body across a collapsed bridge. During trial, reopened wounds exposed blood he couldn’t see, unraveling his guilt. Confessing, he admitted his motives stemmed from guilt over Mia’s death and a quest for personal atonement, not justice.  
In a symbolic truce, he shared coffee with Phoenix, acknowledging mutual respect. His closing allusion to unseen tears underscored tragic acceptance. Arrested for murder, his actions reflected a fractured effort to honor Mia’s memory, reconciling Diego Armando’s past with Godot’s tormented legacy.
