Godot

Overview

Very little is known about this masked prosecutor other than his obvious animosity toward Phoenix Wright and his insatiable love for coffee. It is said that he wears his visor because of an incident in which he had to "come back from the dead". In court he presents himself as confident, precise and unrelenting. He claims to drink seventeen cups of coffee during a single trial day and has an untold number of personal blends, his most popular being Godot #107.

Godot is Voiced by James T. Wilson in the English version of the Phoenix Wright Series

Past

Prior to the main events of Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations, Godot was a defense attorney for the Grossberg Law Firm by the name of Diego Armando. He had risen to become one of the top attorneys at the law firm, and was also romantically involved with a new attorney by the name of Mia Fey. After her first trial ended in failure due to the client's suicide, Diego began relentlessly pursuing the suspect, Dahlia Hawthorne. Eventually, she met with him and slipped him a deadly poison. Diego did not die, but when he woke up, five years had passed, and Mia Fey had died. Discovering that the closest person to her after his disappearance, Phoenix Wright, had failed to protect her, Diego Armando took the name Godot and began acting as a prosecutor. His goals were both to humiliate Phoenix Wright in court, as well as to use his connections as a prosecutor to insure that no harm came to Maya Fey.
