The young "genius" prosecutor of the DA's office, and Phoenix's main rival in PW:AA.
Personality: Miles Edgeworth began his career as a prosecutor at the young age of 20, and in the four years since has maintained a perfect record of guilty verdicts. Seen as a snob, his condescending nature and relentless prosecution (along with rumors of evidence and witness tampering) have earned him the name "Demon Prosecutor." He despises criminal behavior, and will do anything to get lawbreakers behind bars. And look stylish doing it.
Misc Facts: Miles has a deathly fear of earthquakes.
It was suggested (or joked?) by director Takumi that Miles has a "large" dog named Pesu (Pess). Miles's emotional state may very well hinge on Pesu's well being. Many fans speculate the dog to be a Shiba Inu.
In Miles' original design he was going to be a 36 year old veteran prosecutor, but the staff decided that wasn't interesting enough as a rival. When Takumi saw the second Edgeworth version, he was struck with inspiration and created the back story between him and Phoenix.
Edgeworth was portrayed by voice actor Eiji Takemoto in the 2005 and 2006 TGS trailers. His other roles include Mitsunari Ishida in Samurai Warriors 2, and Orm in One Piece.
Friends and Family: Miles's father, Gregory Edgeworth, is deceased, and it is assumed that his mother is as well. He was raised by his mentor Manfred von Karma, and grew up with Karma's daughter, Franziska. Though Miles is 6 years Franziska's senior she refers to him as her "little brother."
Name Origin: English: "Edgeworth" probably comes from his Japanese name Mitsurugi, as in, "edge of a sword."
Japanese: "Mitsurugi," which contains the kanji for "sword," is a reference to his sharpness of mind, (and also the samurai-like imagery it evokes). The creator says on the Japanese main site that he wanted to convey a feeling of "stillness, which can cut you down if you show a moment's weakness." The name "Reiji" comes from the kanji for "cleverness."
