A senior board officer onboard the SS Alaclair. Was in charge of monitoring and security in the first-class cabin.

* TheDragon: [[spoiler: Even though he didn't kill anyone, Stroganov did assisted Nikomina in covering up the crime scene for her supposed murder of Asogui. He also made sure to make it seem like Ryuu was the main culprit and even before all of that, he and the rest of his crewmates drugged everyone else on board with sleeping pills in order to make an emergency stop to pick up Nikomina.]]

* HeadPet: [[spoiler:The Snake that is supposed to be the "speckled band" is actually his and is a red herring. Once the snake is revealed, it soon starts residence wrapping around his head]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Definitely not a nice fellow as he treats everyone (especially Ryuu) with hostility. However, he does have a soft side as shown how he cares for [[spoiler: his pet snake and Nikomina.]]
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Literally his pet snake, figuratively Nikomina.]]

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:She ''really'' did not mean to injure Asogi.]]

* PaperThinDisguise: Roylott's disguise consists of a [[spoiler:fake beard, Groucho Marx-esque glasses, and an Ushanka... with Nikomina's long, flowing blonde hair sticking out of it.]]

* TheRunaway: Of the Abused and Orphan variety. [[spoiler:She ran away from the Novavic ballet troupe after being exploited for her fame, has no family or real friends except for the Alaclair crew, and no money on her name either. She got along with Asogi nicely, but ends up accidentally injuring him in a panic.]]

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:He is unable to sustain his family because of his low salary, leading to him committing the series of thefts in La Quantos.]]

* SpannerInTheWorks: An unusual example, in that [[spoiler:he very nearly ends up being this the player character rather than the culprit. Hiding Sonohigurashi's ''koban'' under his beef steak, followed by swapping said beef steak with Jezail's, means that he unwittingly conceals the evidence that proves Jezail's guilt. If not for Jezail making a careless remark that proved the steak actually wasn't hers, he'd have caused Ryunosoke to be convicted instead of her]].

* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler:Used curare, a poison that only works by administering it through the bloodstream, and thus she (temporarily) disproves Ryuunosuke's theory by drinking the poisoned tonic water.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts like your typical refined British lady most of the time. She drops the act when she gets sufficiently angry, complete with yelling "SHUT UP!" at anyone who tries to interrupt her. She's also incredibly racist.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Very racist towards the Japanese. Downplayed, as [[DeliberateValuesDissonance this would have been fairly normal at the time the game is set.]]

** Bullet or Brett?

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:She clutches her heart, then the swan on her head suddenly goes berserk and drags her around the room screaming as baby chicks fly everywhere on the court. They then both fly towards a beam of light from the sky.]]

* {{Jerkass}} Definitely not a nice fellow as he treats everyone (especially Ryuu) with hostility.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: However, he does have a nice side as shown how he cares for [[spoiler: his pet snake and Nikomina.]]

!!Egg Benedict

!!Lola O'Malley

* PunnyName: Pat+Lola = Patrol.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Rola or Lola?

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Japanese-style beef cutlets. Even his VerbalTic forms 'cutlet' together!

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Hiding Sonohigurashi's ''koban'' under his beef steak, followed by swapping said beef steak with Jezail's, ends up derailing her plans and ultimately leads to her defeat.]]

An antiques dealer and owner of a store, 'Ponkotsu Hall'. Lost a ''koban'' at the time of the murder.

* PrematurelyGreyHaired: A wax figure of his past self sports normal-looking hair. Only ten years later, his hair's gone completely white. In fact, his hair apparently went white *immediately after* witnessing [[spoiler:the Professor's "resurrection".]]

* TheUnintelligible: Her 'English' is rendered as fancy squiggles, and Hosonaga has to translate for her. Justified, as she is in a Japanese court.

A compatriot of van Zieks, the two of them were once attacked by a mysterious group. Despite the man's skill, he has no recollection of his name or past, and nobody has seen his face.

%% Do NOT spoiler trope titles. Consider CAREFULLY whether a spoilered block of text actually adds to the article.

Witnesses and miscellaneous characters that appear in the spinoff ''Dai Gyakuten Saiban'' series. [[Characters/AceAttorney Here]] is the main character sheet.

* ADayInTheLimelight: [[spoiler:Part of DGS 2-5 has you play as Yuujin as him and Holmes are searching the SS Barabrook for Jigoku.]]
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:He's the Dr. John Watson from the books; the discrepancy in the names is due to a misunderstanding on Iris' part.]]

* BigShutUp: [[spoiler:''Shut up!'' is her personal speech bubble, and it is rendered in GratuitousEnglish even in the Japanese-language game.]] It's even rendered in a fancy script! She's also the only one who uses it.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts like your typical refined British lady most of the time. [[spoiler:She drops the act when she gets sufficiently angry, complete with yelling "SHUT UP!" at anyone who tries to interrupt her. She's also incredibly racist.]]

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:The Japanese court is unable to persecute her for her crimes, due to the extradition treaty between Japan and England. Downplayed, as it's mentioned at the end of Case 1 and in Case 2 that she is being dropped off to British authorities in Shanghai, but her fate from there is unknown.]]
** [[spoiler:Ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] in DGS 2, where she's found dead in a beach house in the first case, a day before her scheduled deportation.]]

* NiceHat: She has a hat that has a swan design on it. [[spoiler:Except it's not a design, it's a real, living swan.]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Bullet or Brett?
** [[spoiler:Her real name's an in-universe example when it first comes up in Morse Code at the end of DGS 1-5, namely that Susato and Ryuu are unsure whether it was "Satsushiya" or "Sasha" (due to how Japanese Morse Code doesn't distinguish between regular 'tsu' and the small vowel-lengthener). It's confirmed to be Sasha in the next game.]]

* ChildrenAreInnocent: [[spoiler:Averted. Even if the tiara was given to her personally by a Prussian Earl (as she claims), she's still committing theft from the ballet troupe. Also, at age 15, she is the youngest culprit in the series so far.]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:When she learns what Asougi was really going to do after she told him of his identity.]]
* PaperThinDisguise: [[spoiler:Nikomina's disguise consists of a fake beard, Groucho Marx-esque glasses, and an Ushanka... with her long, flowing blonde hair sticking out of it.]]
* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:She pushes Asogi to his (assumed) death after wrongfully assuming the 'friend' he talks about was a detective she heard him mention earlier.]]

* TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Of the Abused and Orphan variety. She ran away from the Novavic ballet troupe after being exploited for her fame, has no family or real friends except for the Alaclair crew, and no money on her name either. She got along with Asogi nicely, but ends up accidentally injuring him in a panic.]]

* ShrinkingViolet: [[spoiler:Nikomina is quite shy and timid, in the vein of Vera Misham from AJ:AA. This doesn't change when she's revealed as the culprit.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: She couldn't have possibly known about ''any'' of this [[spoiler:and probably still doesn't, considering she's at the other side of the Atlantic ocean at the series' conclusion]], but [[spoiler:incapacitating Asougi - and in the aftermath of the ensuing fake murder scenario, Sherlock appointing Ryuu as the replacement transfer student - meant Jigoku couldn't fulfill his part in the transfer assassination plot until a ''nearly a year'' after the case...where he decides to do it himself, leading to a series of events that led to Ryuu unraveling the Death Bringer conspiracy.]]

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: [[spoiler:He would like you to know that he's just a regular tourist off to see the Crystal Tower, and ''definitely'' not a Russian revolutionary.]]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:He dies at the end of Case 3, and he's not exactly the paragon of morality.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope For all of ten minutes.]]]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:On the surface, he's a kind, well-respected man. Underneath, however, lies a LoanShark who is more than willing to get his own hands dirty.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:[[MurderByCremation Getting locked inside a carriage and being burned alive]] definitely counts as this.]]

* EvilBrit: [[spoiler:He's a villain that, like everyone in these games, is British.]]

* HiddenAgendaVillain: [[spoiler:While the motive for the murder of Morta Milverton is clear, the reason why he was to leak government secrets remains unknown as of yet.]]

* LoanShark: [[spoiler:What he actually is. It's implied that this is his motive for murdering Morta, though this is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] later on.]]

* PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Remains an important character in the game even after his death.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:When Ryunosuke begins to catch on to what he's actually doing, he blows up in anger and bangs the witness stand with his fist, while insulting Ryunosuke and Barok. He regains his composure when it turns out it's too late to change his verdict, leading to him applauding on the stand as the gallery reacts in confusion and anger.]]
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: [[spoiler:He's well-respected among the community, but in reality, he's a heartless LoanShark who is willing to murder.]]

* BridalCarry: [[spoiler:Joan does this to him after he faints once Sherlock and Ryuunosuke figure out that Joan is his wife and they had a quarrel the night of the attempted murder. Attempts to do this with a fainted Joan in their breakdown once their part in the incident is revealed in court, with less successful results.]]

* BridalCarry: [[spoiler:She carries Garrideb like this after he faints following the Joint Reasoning segment. Garrideb later tries to do this with her after she faints in court, with less successful results.]]

* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:The surname comes from the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Adventure of the Three Garridebs'.]]

Two strange and out-of-place men that briefly appear to argue in front of the Garrideb household. Both later appear in the sequel's second case, Mysterious Man A being the victim and Mysterious Man B being a witness. For tropes regarding the former, see William Petenshy below; for those regarding the latter, see Decargo Mieterman below.]]

* AlwaysMurder: Completely averted in her case, as she is not dead at all. [[spoiler:Indeed, even her intended victim was not killed either.]]

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:After Ross' death, she fell into a deep, deep depression.]]
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:She tried to kill herself while in the hospital with the same poison she used to attempt to kill Petenshy. Sherlock saves her just in time, but it ends up implicating her later.]]
* EurekaMoment: [[spoiler: Has one when she hears Souseki talking about the "cursed apartment" and the gas lights going out, leading her to realize that Duncan Ross' death might not have been an accident after all.]]
* InnocentBystander: [[spoiler:She had nothing to do with any of the characters. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time...except not really. She was actually there to kill William Petenshy.]]
* ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:She blames herself for Duncan Ross' death, thinking that, if she had tried harder, he would've survived.]]

* WhenSheSmiles: [[spoiler:It happens twice. The first is a smug smile when she reveals that she already had the key that Petenshy was so desperately looking for. The second is after she explains he reasoning to kill Petenshy, and, after a brief conversation with Ryuu, she smiles and bows at him.]]

* TheAce: [[spoiler:Case 5's Juror #5 (one of his coworkers/fangirls) shows him as this in his line of work.]]

* EvilBrit

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:He was born in poverty and came to resent his early life because of that. Even after getting a respectable and well-paid job as a telecommunicator, he wanted more money, hoping that it would help him to forget about his life in the ghettos. That's what leads him to accept Megundal's deal and steal secret information from the British government.]]
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler: Admits he became just as bad as Megundal in his scheme to get revenge on him.]]

* ObviouslyEvil: The fact that he [[spoiler:pulls a gun on the protagonists before the murder plot even starts]] is proof enough that he's not just your average witness.
* RagsToRiches: [[spoiler:Partly courtesy of Megundal.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He breaks his cane on the witness stand, then he attempts to strangle Gregson with it.]]

A forensics student under Yuujin Mikotoba and Susato Mikotoba's close friend, who is put on trial for [[spoiler:Jezail Brett's murder]]. Was formerly under Dr. John Watson's department before the latter's death.

* HimeCut: Haori wears her hair in this style.

* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Despite undeniably being an arrogant jerk with no qualms letting an innocent woman be convicted for his own crime, he shows shades of this. He has convinced himself that his own justice is the only absolute kind, and that he has to take it into his own hands to uncover the truth at any cost.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He swings his camera around, ranting that nothing of this is ever his fault, the Japanese empire is bending to foreign powers so he ''had'' to do it, he battles day and night for the sake of news and works only for justice, until Haori stops him by grabbing and putting down his swinging arm. Then she and Susato ''toss him up high into the air'' and get into fighting stances right before he lands.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Behind his polite exterior lies a ruthless criminal who's willing to go to any lengths to get his hands on 1000 pounds of treasure.]]

* [[DramaQueen Drama King]]: Is pretty theatrical in his movements, especially when he bids farewell to others. After Sherlock's Joint Deduction segment regarding his poisoning when he was passed out on his table, he briefly wakes up and recites the 'sound and fury' soliloquy from Macbeth (or at least ''tries'' to - he forgets the line halfway and has Gregson finish it) before collapsing.

* IDidntMeanToKillHim: [[spoiler: After his breakdown, he confesses that he wanted only to drive Ross out of his room. He never meant to kill him.]]
* IResembleThatRemark: He likes using the Hamlet quote "one may smile, and smile, and be a villain" in reference to others, [[spoiler: not realizing [[BitchInSheepsClothing it sums him up pretty well.]]]]

* LargeHam: As shown by almost every pose he does. [[spoiler: Even when he goes kind of nuts, he still acts like this.]]

* MeaningfulName: His first name's an obvious reference to William Shakespeare, and his surname, Petenshy, means "crook" in Japanese. [[spoiler: He's an ex-prisoner who has done a few nefarious things to get a treasure promised him by a serial murderer.]]
* NiceHat: [[spoiler: It's off after his breakdown.]]

* ShoutOut: Constantly references Shakespeare and thinks himself good at debating others about his works.
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler: He starts smiling like this after his intent to obtain Selden's treasure is found out. It, along with his usual posing, makes him look like a madman.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: Grimacing and clutching his chest, he then stumbles across the witness stand as confetti bursts from his chest, and one of the jewels on his chest falls off. This happens twice as he gets into two theatrical poses. Eventually, he jumps up and strikes one more pose before being felled by a final burst of confetti.]]

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: He used to be a promising young scientist, who won a royal award and was considered a genius...until Meningen's newspaper publicized his discovery of "the Professor", which exposed him as a grave robber and got him expelled from university. He's held a serious grudge against Meningen ever since.]]

!!"Venus", "Gossip"/[[spoiler:Hugh Boone]], and "Sandwich"

* {{Gonk}}: Gossip, what with his twisted lip. [[spoiler: It's a disguise, as you will have figured, if you've read ''The Man with the Twisted Lip''.]]

Two European nobles and con artists who are members of the Red-Headed League, a scam group Gregson [[spoiler:(actually Boone/Mittlemont)]] was investigating. They met each other in a European boarding school for aristocrats called Ashtar Boarding School.

* MilitarySalute: They enthusiastically give one [[spoiler:after the judge orders them to detain Hugh Boone.]]

* TheGhost: [[spoiler:Never actually seen on screen.]]

Apparently the highest scoring candidate in the tests for the Law Exchange Program...[[spoiler:except for the fact that he bribed several parties to severely inflate his score and was arrested for this.]]

%%* EvilBrit

A trio of street vendors who were working near the crime scene when the murder happened. 'Venus' peddles wares (fireworks in particular), 'Gossip' is an information broker, and 'Sandwich' is a sandwich man (i.e. a 'bumvertiser') who looks like Beppo, the carriage driver from the previous game, though Ryuunosuke describes him only as "familiar".

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: He gets a bit of an inflated ego in DGS 2, following the success of ''I Am A Cat'''s serialization.

A medical doctor and forensics professor at Yuumei Academy. Kazuma Asougi's mentor and Susato Mikotoba's father. A former student of John H. Watson

* SpannerInTheWorks: She couldn't have possibly known about ''any'' of this, but [[spoiler:incapacitating Asougi - and in the aftermath of the ensuing fake murder scenario, Sherlock appointing Ryuu as the replacement transfer student - meant Jigoku couldn't fulfill his part in the transfer assassination plot until a ''nearly a year'' after the case...where he decides to do it himself, leading to a series of events that led to Ryuu unraveling the Death Bringer conspiracy.]]

A mysterious fancily dressed man who is first seen in Case 4 of the previous game as one of the tenants of the Garrideb household. Winds up a victim of strychnine poisoning, though he recovers and sues Souseki for attempting to kill him.
