Gregory Edgeworth was a very talented criminal defense attorney and his son Miles idolized him. He was the kind of defense attorney who was not afraid to stand up against corruption. He used a calm, methodical, and logical approach to his investigations, preferring to use logic and confront witnesses directly at the scene rather than use the sorts of methods that Phoenix Wright or Apollo Justice would later use. He also had a rather serious, professional demeanor at all times, only smiling when he made a mistake and got a penalty, though it was more of a nervous grin. Miles inherited much of his father's methods, though he would come off as cold and ruthless due to his relative lack of tact. In December 2000, Gregory took on the case of Samson Tangaroa, a famous television chef. He was aided in his investigation by Eddie Fender, a young man who idolized him. The case was would later officially become known as the "IS-7 Incident". During his investigation into the crime, Gregory butted heads with Manfred von Karma, a legendary prosecutor with a perfect win record. As he and Fender became more involved in the case, he realized that von Karma wasn't just keeping him away from the scene because he didn't want the defense gaining any sort of advance; he was actively trying to hide something. Even Tyrell Badd, the detective who was supposed to lead the investigation, was continually stymied by von Karma's authority, and he eventually decided to ally with Gregory. Eventually, Gregory was able to figure out what von Karma was hiding; the body of the victim had disappeared before an autopsy could be carried out. During the subsequent trial, Gregory accused von Karma of hiding the disappearance of the body. However, von Karma produced a falsified autopsy report, verified by the police, and so the trial continued for a year. Eventually, Tangaroa falsely confessed to being an accomplice to the murder, but with Badd's help, Gregory revealed that the confession had been coerced. Although Gregory still lost the case, this bombshell revelation gave Manfred von Karma the only penalty on his "perfect" record, which enraged the perfection-obsessed prosecutor. The majority of the blame was shifted onto Ian Sideman, the initial lead detective before Badd, who was subsequently fired. After the trial, Gregory and Miles proceeded to leave the courthouse, accompanied by Yanni Yogi, a court bailiff. Gregory hoped to get a retrial for his client. However, an earthquake struck the building and shut the power down, leaving the three stranded in an elevator for five hours. Eventually, the oxygen supply diminished, and Yogi started to panic. The two men fought, leaving Miles to try and stop them by throwing Yogi's pistol, which had been loosened from the man's belt. The gun went off, hitting von Karma, who had wandered in front of the elevator door. Just then, the elevator door opened; already outraged by his penalty and in shock from his wound, von Karma picked up the gun and, finding all three of the elevator's occupants passed out, shot Gregory. Gregory Edgeworth died, never knowing who had killed him. His spirit later spoke through a spirit medium named Misty Fey, blaming Yogi for the murder. Ace Attorney Wiki page.]

Eustace Winner is a young rookie prosecutor who was assigned to take over a number of Miles Edgeworth's cases by the Committee for Prosecutorial Excellence. Despite graduating at the top of his class and receiving many awards during his legal studies, leading him to becoming a prosecutor by the age of 17, he was barely competent and had terrible logic; it would often fall to judge and Committee member Verity Gavèlle, who acted as his assistant, to argue Edgeworth's logic.

Bronco Knight is the revolver-toting second-in-command of the Zheng Fa president's personal bodyguards. He was present during the apparent assassination attempt that was made against the president at Gourd Lake. Knight is an arrogant man with a love of chess. He often uses chess metaphors and refers to himself as a "knight" protecting his "king". Another obvious quirk of Knight's is his habit of playing with his revolver; he'll often twirl it around his finger, reload it for no reason, and even point it other people when talking to them.

Regina Berry is the naïve daughter of the late Berry Big Circus ringmaster Russell Berry. She works as an animal tamer at the circus alongside Regent the tiger. Since Regina was brought up at the circus, it is the only world she knows. As such, she has a very fantastical view of the world and is extremely naïve. She believes that when people die, they become "stars in the sky". She also doesn't understand that the Trilo Quist puppet was only that, a puppet. She thinks of the dummy as a tenor who sings in the circus and that the ventriloquist himself is just someone who hangs around with "Trilo". Without realizing it, Regina often uses her looks to her advantage. Moe describes her as being "cuter than a little puppy Maltese" and people often give in to her demands with a single cutesy look from her. By Gyakuten Saiban 2, Regina eventually began to take on more responsibilities at the circus. At some point, she hired a coworker named Sōta Sarushiro, whom she tasked with the various logistics of their shows. In 2019, the two performed an animal show at a local prison. The show involved a love story between Regent and an elephant named Dali. Sarushiro played a villainous monkey whom Dali would blow away in the climax of the story. Ace Attorney Wiki page.]

Matt Enguarde's polite and tight-lipped butler. He has been taking care of Matt's pet cat, "Shoe", and the Enguarde Mansion. John Doe is one Shelly de Killer's "covers" he had adopted in order to successfully complete his job. de Killer was using Enguarde's mansion to detain Maya Fey, until he was forced to relocate when Shoe meowed during a phone call with Phoenix (since they have met previously, Shoe's meow was a clear giveaway of de Killer's location). During Gyakuten Saiban 2 (a year later) he assumed the disguise of an ice cream vendor. Sōta Sarushiro hired de Killer to assassinate President Teikun Ō of Zheng Fa. The assassin first tried to infiltrate the president's bodyguards by disguising himself as one. He managed to gather a good amount of information on the president's protection, including the names of the leader and sub-leader of the guards, and soon struck. Although the leader of the bodyguards, a man called Gai Tojiro, noticed de Killer, by that time the assassin had managed to get close to his target. The assassin managed to easily overpower most of the bodyguards, beginning with the sub-leader Manosuke Naitō, whom he grabbed by the throat so hard that the latter was later forced to wear a neck brace and was unable to turn his head right. Unfortunately for de Killer, Gai Tojiro proved far more formidable, as he quickly grabbed, twisted and shot the assassin's left arm. De Killer managed to escape with his wounded arm and gained respect for Tojiro's skill. Ace Attorney Wiki page.]
