Oh, her? Sir, not to boast but I knew the moment I saw her... "She'd do it!" I said! |

(Do WHAT?! I'm starting to think the most suspicious person here is this guy!) |
An unnamed bellboy who worked at the Gatewater Hotel across from Phoenix Wright's office. He was called to court as a witness to testify on a hotel guest's actions at the time of a murder.
Murder of Mia Fey
- Main article: Turnabout Sisters
Before the murder of Mia Fey, this bellboy was serving ice coffee to the room in which April May and Redd White were staying, having previously been the one to check them in. May met him outside the room so as to create a solid alibi for herself but, at the same time, prevent him from noticing that White was not in the room and was, in fact, in the Fey & Co. Law Offices murdering Fey.
When Maya Fey was accused of the murder, Phoenix Wright was hired as her defense lawyer. Although he proved that May had been wire-tapping the offices, he couldn't prove who the murderer was and so he called the bellboy in desperation, who appeared in court still holding his tray. When Wright asked about the ice coffee that was ordered, it was quickly noticed that the price was oddly high, thus showing that two people shared the room, which allowed the case to be adjourned for a day.
He later wrote an affidavit for Wright that could help him uncover White as the second person in the room.
The bellboy seems to have been slightly overexcited by his time in court and also appeared to think that May was the murderer. He was determined to keep the room as it was and to charge extra for the room. Despite Wright's confusion over the bellboy's reaction, the added advertising seemed to help the hotel, so much so that a second hotel was later opened. The bellboy also appears to have benefited, taking over as management of the Gatewater Hotel at some point around Miles Edgeworth's trial.
A suicide note
- Main article: Rise from the Ashes
This bellboy often brought tea to Room 1202 of the Prosecutor's Building for Miles Edgeworth. One day, after the Bruce Goodman murder case, the bellboy entered the office only to find a letter on the desk. This was Edgeworth's "suicide note" that he had left before leaving the country.
As the Proto Badger
- Main article: The Kidnapped Turnabout
At some point, the bellboy became an employee of the Gatewater Land theme park, in which he would play the part of the Proto Badger. He briefly aided Miles Edgeworth in the investigation into the murder of Colin Devorae. Although the bellboy didn't take off his costume during this encounter, Edgeworth vaguely recognized him from his manner of speech and general mannerisms.
Personality
The bellboy is very formal with others and is generally quite prim and proper, although he can still be influenced by a pretty face. He is somewhat forgetful, completely forgetting who Wright was when they met in Edgeworth's office. He has an extreme devotion to his hotel, to the point of being glad that there was a murder in the hotel as it would create publicity. This, along with his excitement at being involved in a murder inquiry, caused Phoenix Wright to find him rather odd and creepy, possibly even verging on insane.
Development
- The bellboy was not initially planned as a witness by the developers, but they ended up putting him on the witness stand with a full tea set balanced on a tray. This became the basis of the playful attitude of the Ace Attorney series.
