Miles Edgeworth is a legendary prosecutor known for his perfect win record and ruthless courtroom tactics. Traumatized by the DL-6 incident where he witnessed his father's death in an elevator, he was mentored by the corrupt Manfred von Karma.

Over time, he evolves from a man obsessed with guilty verdicts into a noble investigator who prioritizes the truth above all else. He eventually becomes the Chief Prosecutor, leading the legal system with integrity while maintaining his signature stoic and sophisticated demeanor.
