* BladeOnAStick: It does have a globe-like object attached to it, though it's actually a spear.

* CardCarryingVillain: He provides the page quote - "I killed a man named Smith with a bottle because I am an evil human being... isn't that enough?". However, he says this to conceal [[EvilIsPetty his true motives]] for the murder, thus avoiding being implicated in a different crime.

* LuxuryPrisonSuite: Gets sent into one after getting arrested. Phoenix comments it looks (and feels, when talking about the chair in there) better than his own office. It also provides the page image.

He's dark-skinned and WordOfGod says he's Brazilian.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: It's not specified where he's from or why he's darker than the rest of the cast, though the Latin American name is a clue. WordOfGod says he's Brazilian.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: The legal equivalent, at any rate. He’s the top-ranked lawyer of his own firm.

%%* TheUnfettered: To Courte's TheFettered.

* TheUnfettered: To Courte's TheFettered.

* DisproportionateRetribution: His reason for all of his actions in ''AJ:AA'' is that Zak Gramarye ended up not hiring Kristoph as his lawyer. Kristoph spent years thinking that it was because he lost a card game, which would be Disproportionate Retribution on its own, but Zak was actually watching the way that Kristoph was playing more than the cards themselves. Kristoph's attitude during the game convinced Zak that Kristoph was not to be trusted.

* GoodParents: To Miles. In the anime, he let him adopt a stray dog, and took in stride of Miles' odd choice of watching a samurai show.

* OnceKilledAManWithANoodleImplement: He killed Drew Misham by telling him to send a confirmation letter back with a provided yellow envelope and a stamp, with the latter treated with atroquinine which Drew would ingest by licking it in order to stick it onto the envelope. The problem is, Kristoph chose a ''commemorative stamp'' which happened to feature the idols of Drew's daughter, Vera, who found the stamp first and framed it, halting the plans for seven years.

* EvilMentor: An interesting case in that while he himself is evil, the lessons he teaches Apollo are anything but.

* ForTheEvulz: He tries to pass off his killing of Shadi Smith as this, though actually it's because Shadi was really Zak Gramarye; he manages to use ExactWords to not outright admit to it.

** His mentoring of Apollo can be considered this, since he does do a good job of showing you the ropes early in the first case, and is implied to have been a sincere father figure to him for the most part. Additionally, he was originally sincere about defending Phoenix in the first case, only turning against him once it became clear that Phoenix knew he was the true killer.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Kristoph is superficially charming, a control freak, has no qualms about committing crimes, and only looks out for himself, all signs of [[TheSociopath antisocial personality disorder]]. His obsession with having people rely on him also leans towards [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic personality disorder]]. Even though neither are confirmed, it's obvious there's something deeply wrong with Gavin.

* INeverSaidItWasPoison: He does this no less than three times in the opening case of ''Apollo Justice''.
** When Phoenix calls him about the victim being murdered, Kristoph makes a reference to the victim's bald head, when Shadi had his hat on until he died, so Kristoph shouldn't have known about that fact. This makes Phoenix suspicious of Kristoph.
** Early into the trial, he describes the poker game between Phoenix and Shadi and makes an offhand mention that the poker cards had a blue back. However, the only photo which has the cards at that moment was in black and white, the poker deck that was actually used in the last hand had red backs and the card that was put in place of the bloody ace had a blue back. This inevitably places Kristoph at the crime scene.
** The final nail in his coffin is when Apollo presents the bloody ace, and Kristoph ''immediately'' and angrily points the fact that bloody ace is forged, instead of merely showing doubts about such a convenient piece of evidence. While he's right in that it's a forgery, the way he reacted proves the fact Kristoph knew about the real bloody ace he took from the crime scene.

* TheGhost: In Case 1, as Dahlia having poisoned him is a plot point. He only appears in Case 4, marking the reveal that he was in the present-day cases all along as Godot.

* CrusadingLawyer: Gregory Edgeworth was easily one of the greatest Defense Attorneys of his time. Until Phoenix came along, he was the only attorney who could go toe-to-toe with Manfred von Karma, so-called "god of prosecution". And unlike Phoenix, who barely held on for three days by [[CourtroomAntics bluffing and grasping at straws]], Gregory held strong for a whole year and got von Karma penalized for the only time in ''forty years'' of prosecuting.
