Defence attorney / 弁護士
Gregory Edgeworth / 御剣　信 (みつるぎ　しん Mitsurugi Shin) The character you control for the “past” sections of this chapter. Miles' father, a defence attorney who died some 17 years prior to the game's events. This chapter tells the tale of his final case, the IS-7 Incident, and its eventual resolution several years later.

Defendant / 被告人
Jeffrey Master / 天海　一誠 (てんかい　いっせい Tenkai Issei) Your client for this case. A world-famous pastry chef, commonly regarded as the world’s best. He hosts the popular TV show "Piece of Cake", which showcases both his cooking and singing skills. His mansion was the scene of the murder.

Victim / 被害者
Isaac Dover / 氷堂　伊作 (ひょうどう　いさく Hyōdō Isaku) The victim of this case. One of the contestants in the dessert competition, whose entry consisted of sherbet-based sculptures of the winter star signs. Not much else is known about him.

Prosecutor / 検事
Manfred von Karma / 狩魔　豪 (かるま　ごう Karuma Gō) Miles' former mentor, a feared prosecutor who never lost a single case in his 40-year career, until he finally met his match in a certain blue-suited defence attorney. Rumours abound of his apparent corruption, and this case marks the beginning of his eventual downfall.

Witness / 目撃者
Dane Gustavia / 風見　豊 (かざみ　ゆたか Kazami Yutaka) A contestant in the dessert competition. Some of his actions around the time of the murder are suspicious, and his testimony would be incredibly useful - if von Karma would let you speak to him, that is.

Other characters / 他の登場人物
Raymond Shields / 信楽　盾之 (しがらき　たてゆき Shigaraki Tateyuki) Gregory’s assistant and apprentice, who hopes to become a successful defence attorney himself in the future. He has a habit of taking down notes, and then eating the paper they’re written on.

Katherine Hall / 緒屋敷　司 (おやしき　つかさ Oyashiki Tsukasa) The adoptive daughter of Jeffrey Master. Popularly known as “Miss Kate”, as the co-host on the TV show “Piece of Cake”. She is extremely devoted to Master. An extremely polite girl who welcomes all visitors to Master’s mansion with a freshly-brewed cup of Ceylon tea.

Tyrell Badd / 馬堂　一徹 (ばどう　いってつ Badō Ittetsu) A homicide detective with the local police force. His distrust of defence attorneys means he will only allow Gregory to investigate the crime scene under his supervision. He has a great fondness for candy, and is constantly sucking on his ever-present lollipop.

Delicia Scones / デリシー・スコーン (Derishī Sukōn) One of the contestants in the dessert competition, who reached the finals despite her apparent lack of ability in the kitchen. She has a habit of doling out nicknames for people, despite their protests, and her real age is a mystery to all.

Pierre Hoquet / ポール・ホリック (Pōru Horikku) A French artist primarily known for his sculptures and pottery. Katherine Hall is a devoted fan of his.

Case Information / 事件情報

 * Time of crime: 2 April, 10:30 a.m.
 * Location: Zodiac Art Gallery
 * Victim: Dane Gustavia
 * Cause of injury: Poisoning from inhalation of toxic gas
 * Witnesses: Miles Edgeworth, Larry Butz, Raymond Shields
 * Suspect: Delicia Scones

Witnesses / 目撃者
Miles Edgeworth / 御剣　怜侍 (みつるぎ　れいじ Mitsurugi Reiji) The character you control in this game. He visits the art gallery at the request of his father’s old apprentice, Ray Shields, to hear the story of his father’s final case, but ends up investigating another incident in suspiciously similar circumstances to those 18 years prior.

Larry Butz / 矢張　政志 (やはり　まさし Yahari Masashi) A childhood friend of Edgeworth’s, a skirt chaser with a knack for finding trouble. When in his artist persona, he prefers to be called "Laurice Deauxnim" (天流斎　マシス (てんりゅうさい　マシス) Tenryūsai Mashisu). He came to the art gallery to draw one of its statues as a gift for his current girlfriend, but ended up witnessing an attempted murder instead.

Defence attorney / 弁護士
Raymond Shields / 信楽　盾之 (しがらき　たてゆき Shigaraki Tateyuki) A defence attorney, and former assistant to Edgeworth's father, Gregory Edgeworth. He spends much of this chapter recounting the story behind Gregory’s final case, and noticing just how similar the late attorney and his son really are.

Prosecutor / 検事
Sebastian Debeste / 一柳　弓彦 (いちやなぎ　ゆみひこ Ichiyanagi Yumihiko) A clueless rookie prosecutor who insists that he is "The Best", but in reality is a complete cloud-cuckoo-lander. He can apparently be convinced of anything, as long as the phrase “the best” is tacked onto it.

Victim / 被害者
Dane Gustavia / 風見　豊 (かざみ　ゆたか Kazami Yutaka) The victim in this case. He is knocked unconscious after inhaling a large quantity of toxic gas, but luckily is not killed. He was one of the contestants in the dessert competition 18 years ago, but why has he returned here after so long?

Suspect / 被疑者
Delicia Scones / デリシー・スコーン (Derishī Sukōn) One of the contestants in the dessert competition 18 years ago, who has returned to the scene of the incident to visit a friend of hers. She hasn’t changed at all in the past 18 years, including, apparently, in terms of age.

Other characters / 他の登場人物
Katherine Hall / 緒屋敷　司 (おやしき　つかさ Oyashiki Tsukasa) The adoptive daughter of Jeffrey Master. A world-famous actress who retired in order to set up the Zodiac Art Gallery. She visits Master in prison every day, without fail.

Dick Gumshoe / 糸鋸　圭介 (いとのこぎり　けいすけ Itonokogiri Keisuke) A homicide detective with the local police force. The prospect of a raise to his salary is finally mentioned during this investigation, even if it never actually comes to pass.

Kay Faraday / 一条　美雲 (いちじょう　みくも Ichijō Mikumo) Edgeworth's self-appointed assistant, and the self-proclaimed successor to the Great Thief Yatagarasu. She makes a disturbing discovery in this case, which turns out to be the key to its solution.

Justine Courtney / 水鏡　秤 (みかがみ　はかり Mikagami Hakari) A judge, and a member of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee. As in the previous case, she is reluctant to either allow Edgeworth to investigate the incident, or acknowledge his superiority to Sebastian Debeste.

Isaac Dover / 氷堂　伊作 (ひょうどう　いさく Hyōdō Isaku) The victim in the IS-7 case 18 years ago. Does his murder have any connection to the case you’re investigating today?

Jeffrey Master / 天海　一誠 (てんかい　いっせい Tenkai Issei) Gregory Edgeworth’s final client, currently employing Ray Shields as his defence attorney. 17 years ago, he was convicted of being an accomplice in the IS-7 incident.
