Character Information
Name: Miles Edgeworth
Canon Origin/Series: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Gender: Male
Age: 26

Personality: A basic, first glance explanation of his personality is that he is a smug perfectionist, though, like most people, he goes much much deeper. He is a genuinely caring person, whether or not he wants to be all the time. He is very focused on justice being done, however he will also do his job even if a conflict of interests arises in the process. He tends to have a very no-nonsense attitude and can be bitingly sarcastic towards people, though he will treat people with respect that deserve it from him. He is very mature and set in his ways, and does not seem to like having a lot of attention drawn to him even though he tends to get it. He is for the most part very calm though annoyed easily, and in extreme situations he will show the emotion called for.

Brief History in Canon: Miles grew up with his father, Gregory Edgeworth, who was a defense attorney, which he aspired to be. One day in school he defended his classmate, Phoenix Wright, who had been accused of stealing his lunch money, because although no one else believed Phoenix, he attested his innocence and Miles thought someone should stand up for him. He was backed up by another boy, Larry Butz. The three became fast friends. Later that year, though, Miles and his father were in an elevator with a guard after a trial when an earthquake hit. Though he was nearly unconscious from oxygen deprivation, he heard a struggle between the two men, so he picked up a nearby gun and threw it to protect his father, but it fired. When they were found, his father was dead from a gunshot wound. Miles tried to forget that he had thrown the gun, but was constantly plagued by nightmares of it.

Miles was taken in by Manfred von Karma, who had been the prosecutor in his father's last case and was basically made a part of the family. Von Karma was obsessed with perfection and taught Miles to become a prosecutor that would do whatever it took to get a perfect record. When he was 20 he made his first appearance in court, and quickly became known as the "demon prosecutor," never losing a case. This continued until he was 24 and first had to face Phoenix in court, when he first lost a case. He did not take it very well, seeing as his perfect streak was broken, nor did he like the memories of his old self that Phoenix kept bringing back to his mind. However, when he was accused of murder, Miles found himself having to rely on Phoenix for help, although it meant having to dig up a past he rather would have him not look at. Despite the fact that all the evidence was against him, Phoenix didn't give up and managed to get him acquitted, simultaneously proving that Miles did not accidently kill his father, but von Karma had. This case opened his eyes and made him realize there was more to the law than simply prosecuting the accused.

After that he went abroad and began studying international law, coming back twice to assist on cases. The first time he was met with an odd reception, as he had left a note implying he had committed suicide before he left. The second time he filled in as the defense attorney for a day, as Phoenix was in the hospital with a bad cold after nearly getting himself killed. During these times he was far less of a jerk in his interactions with the others and appeared to have eased up around people a bit, his personal demons having been mostly solved.
