Line 775:
* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]
* [[Bald of Evil]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: He sure seems like a brute. "Cadaverini" and "Shikabane" both mean "corpse". "Gonta" roughly means "big authority".
* [[Papa Wolf|Grandpapa Wolf]]: Viola is his little girl, thus hell falls on whoever hurts her in any way.
* [[Shotgun Wedding|ShotgunPayingForGrandaughter'sOperation]]
* [[The Don]]
* [[Papa Wolf|Grandpapa Wolf]]: Viola is his little girl, thus hell falls on whoever hurts her in any way.

=== Terry Fawles (''Michiru Onamida'') ===
Line 928:
A blind {{spoiler|(not)}} pianist that accompanies Lamiroir. Is suspected for murder based on certain [[Fridge Logic|circumstances]]. He doesn't talk much, and only in Borginian. {{spoiler|Except for that bit of English he knows}}.
 
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[Blind Musician]]: {{spoiler|Actually, he's just faking it.}}
* [[Confess to a Lesser Crime]]: {{spoiler|What saves him from being convicted of murder, and exposes Daryan in the end. Apollo reveals that if he confesses to smuggling cocoons in court, he will be able to avoid the death penalty, and Daryan breaks down after realizing that this will expose him}}.
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Lampshaded, twice. Though his name comes directly from his Japanese name (Maki Tobayu) so that helps.
* {{spoiler|[[Obfuscating Disability]]}}: {{spoiler|Used to help publicity.}}
Line 1,069:
* [[Blush Sticker]]
* [[Important Haircut]]: To the point of [[Exaggerated Trope|exaggeration]]; she takes a pair of scissors to her hair whenever she feels deeply ashamed or distressed. Although she never actually cuts any of it in-game, when you consider how much shorter and more uneven most of her hair is compared to the two locks she has in front, you can probably figure out for yourself just how often this sort of thing comes up.
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: Narrowly averted. She confessed to extortion, but at the end of the case she appears to just walk away. Then again, she lost something bigger than a few years of freedom... The end sequence shows that she got in trouble with the law after all, as she refers to spending some time in the detention center}}
* [[Love Martyr]]: {{spoiler|She goes along with the kidnapping scheme entirely for Lance's sake. He repays her devotion by leading her to believe she killed their accomplice and, unbeknownst to her, ''her father'', and setting her up to take the fall for it. [[Sarcasm Mode|Gee, what a great catch.]]}}
* [[Meido]]: {{spoiler|[[In Name Only|In appearance only]], it seems.}}
Line 1,091:
* [[Determinator]]: He is determined to find Coachen's killer. He goes as far as {{spoiler|forcing Alba to testify about his alibi since it would look bad for him if he refused.}}
* [[Diplomatic Impunity]]: He never even bothers to use his immunity though. And the only time this is in effect in Babahl was around the beginning of the case, causing von Karma to turn to Palaeno.
* [[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!|You Can't Touch That]]: The Primidux statue. He politely asked you not to touch it since only him and Coachen can touch it. {{spoiler|And since the statues were switched, you'll become pretty suspicious.}} But when it is discovered {{spoiler|the statue currently in Allebahst has a plate made for counterfeiting, someone else is being suspected.}}
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Due to his incessant smiling. He only ever opens his eyes when he gets serious. Several players reported being disturbed upon seeing it. Others reported swooning.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: He seems to want to be this, and {{spoiler|he feels obliged to help catch Coachen's killer, because Coachen was his subordinate, even though he knows full well that Coachen was a complete crook}}.
Line 1,101 ⟶ 1,100:
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Only his Japanese name though. You will think he's the killer because his first name is ''Damian'' in the Japanese version. {{spoiler|But his Japanese name is giving you the same amount of suspicion from Alba, whose Japanese name is ''Carnage Onred''.}}
* [[Nice Guy]]: {{spoiler|[[Red Herring|This can easily fool anyone into thinking he's the murderer.]]}}
* [[The Not-Secret]]: He knew that {{spoiler|Coachen is the killer of KG-8}}, which isn't that surprising to the player but to Edgeworth, it is.
* [[The Pollyanna]]: His country is not doing well, his embassy is even worse off, and {{spoiler|the one person he'd come to depend on to fix everything is dead and a crook.}} Yet Palaeno is, for the most part, genuinely cheerful and optimistic.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Stands as one of the all-round nicest guys in the whole series.
* {{spoiler|[[Red Herring]]}}: His [[Eyes Always Shut|eyes]], [[Hand Rubbing]] gestures, way too wide smile and ingratiating personality serve to make him look sleazy and suspicious early on, {{spoiler|but he proves to be genuinely amiable as the case wears on.}}
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: He keeps up his smile, even while talking about how his embassy is ruined. Edgeworth even notes it in his thoughts. It's almost as he was happy his embassy was in trouble. {{spoiler|Although later on, you can see it's only a habit of his of his words not matching his facial expressions.}}
* [[Don't Touch It, You Idiot!|You Can't Touch That]]: The Primidux statue. He politely asked you not to touch it since only him and Coachen can touch it. {{spoiler|And since the statues were switched, you'll become pretty suspicious.}} But when it is discovered {{spoiler|the statue currently in Allebahst has a plate made for counterfeiting, someone else is being suspected.}}
* [[The Not-Secret]]: He knew that {{spoiler|Coachen is the killer of KG-8}}, which isn't that surprising to the player but to Edgeworth, it is.
 
=== Quercus Alba (''Carnage Onred'') ===
Line 1,121:
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]}}
* [[Bling of War]]: Has a habit of smirking and letting it gleam {{spoiler|during his reveal}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Climax Boss]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Climax Boss]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Complete Monster]]: While he appears to be a frail, sweet old man, he's a hardened, cold-hearted crime lord who has been responsible for countless deaths for the sake of keeping his smuggling ring running.}}
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: {{spoiler|NOT!}}
* [[Determinator]]: {{spoiler|He's probably caused more than a few players to scream "JUST GIVE UP ALREADY!"}}
