So, out of all 4 games, who is the most evil character?

I tried to think of the most evil, the most manipulative, and the most satisfying they are when you finally break them down!

Pretty much putting all of the remaining posts in spoilers, recapping each major villian that I feel is worthy of the title and deserves a nomination.

Spoiler:
Manfred Von Karma: - Did whatever he could to win a case in 40 years. Killed Gregory Edgeworth for even putting a black spot on his record even though he had remained undefeated.

After killing Gregory in cold blood, he not only took Miles in as his own son, but attempted to frame him years later for murder, even prosecuting against him. Was it just anger and rage that caused him to keep Miles as his son and then frame him when the time was right as complete revenge, albeit against a perfectly innocent child?

Damon Gant: Sometimes it seems the most evil are the ones you want to love. Formed an unstoppable duo with Lana Skye, but by killing Niel Marshall and setting it up to look like Ema had been the one who killed him, he coerced Lana under his power for years as everyone else involved in SL9 fell by the wayside.

He made Lana believe that Ema was responsible for murder, holding it over her head for years, even manipulating her into taking the fall for the murder of not only what would have been her friend, but one that would have gotten her the death penalty.

Then he killed Goodman for simply wanting to reinvestigate the incident.

Morgan Fey: While never found directly responsible for anything, and only testifies once during the entire games, this one is pure evil. Wanting to make sure her bloodline is what continues the Fey tradition, she plans to dispose of Maya under more than one circumstance.

The first time, she willingly helps out Ini murder Dr. Grey, knowing that by pinning the crime on Maya that she will get the death sentence and Pearl will become the next master. She is the epitome of doing anything to force your child to live your dreams.

Then, conspiring with her daughter, Dahlia, to have another daughter, Pearl, unknowingly murder the person that she looked up to and admired the most just turns the stomach. To use Pearls complete devotion to her as a tool to take Maya's life - not to mention that Godot admits he could have just as easily killed "Dahlia" no matter who was channeling her, including Pearls - earns her a spot on the list.

Dahlia Hawthorn/Fey: If Gyakuten Saiban has a final boss, this is it. She starts by planning a fake kidnapping, and taking advantage of her boyfriend to steal the diamond all for herself. Then convinces Fawles to commit suicide, and kills her sister, Valerie. Not content with just that, later on she poisons Diego, hides the evidence with Phoenix, and manipulates Iris's weak constitution into helping her. Finally deciding that's not enough, she goes on to kill Doug Swallow and conspires to kill Phoenix as well.

Even before and after her death, attempting to kill Maya, and locking up her own sister who had helped her with so much in a place she could have very easily died, and knowing Pearl was part of the plot for it all as well, makes her a truly evil person.

Matt Engarde: Whats there to elaborate on? He used Celeste as a toy, then turned her into a pawn in he game he played with Juan, even going so far as to ruin their happiness just as a way to brag and one-up his rival. Realizing this wasn't exaclty the best choice when Juan was going to reveal this information to the world, he hired an assassin to kill Juan, and then kidnap Maya forcing Phoenix to make the choice of either letting a killer go free or Maya being killed. He even had the balls to blackmail said assassin. Not to mention pulling a glass of gravy out his ass makes him bonified evil.

Kristoph Gavin: Wanted to make a name for himself with a famous trial involving the death of Magnifi, to the point he had a 12 year old girl prepare a fake piece of evidence, and then gave her a bottle of nail polish laced with poison. He transpired to murder a 12 year old girl, and even told her the poison was a good luck charm.

When was dismissed as Zak's attorney over a game of cards, he decided to use the flase evidence as a trap just because of his own pride. He also attempted to murder Vera in a different way because he would not have known if the nail polish would have done its job, if ever. keeping an eye on everyone involved in the case, the bashing Zak over the head with a bottle years later just to keep him quiet, and overall being responsible for three murders with no reason at all except personal glory and later revenge makes him one evil son of a bitch.


So, out of those 6, who do you think is the most evil in the Ace Attorney series so far?

Personally I decided to list them from my opinion~

Spoiler: My List out of the 6
1. Kristoph Gavin
2. Dahlia Hawthorne
3. Matt Engarde
4. Morgan Fey
5. Damon Gant/Manfred Von Karma

Reasons:
Between Kristoph and Dahlia was tough but I have to pick Kristoph. Kristoph did everything for pride and did it to the most flawless extent. The fact that Dahlia made silly mistakes along the way shows that she has the brains but when push comes to shove she doesn't perform as well as Kristoph.

Matt was an obvious one. Like Kristoph and Dahlia he mastered his plan very well. But personally I see him in a sense as a coward. He just doesn't perform well under the pressure and even attempts to blackmail a killer that dedicated themselves to making sure that he got off the hook. If you have a trained killer on your side I highly do not suggest you betray them.

Morgan is a little iffy on me. Like Dahlia she has brains but like Dahlia again when push comes to shove she doesn't do her own dirty work. She gets other people to do it for her (Ini/Mimi Miney and Dahlia).

Manfred and Damon were also mixed up a lot, but in the end I tied them at 5th :B;;; The way their evil actions were designed was awfully similar to pick just one or the other.

:objection:

Why should a question of the most evil be limited to the final villains*? They may be the most challenging to take down or the most epic to defeat, but that doesn't automatically qualify them as the only runners for most evil. I personally feel that Shelly de Killer deserves consideration (a man who kills only for pay without the slightest qualm? Really cool, but also definitely evil.) despite the fact that he's never even apprehended. And other non-final case villains have plenty of evil about them as well. For example, Redd White and Daryan Crescend. So my point is, let's not confine people to just those 6 and let people vote for any villain they want to in the series.

*Actually, I just realized that you included Morgan as well, but I still hold to the rest of my point.

Kristoph comes close in the "total bastard" category, but I'll still have to give it up for Manfred, for the sole fact that he ruined more lives than any other villian by far (DL-6).

Are you sure with your opinions about who is the most evil villain? Of course, the evidence doesn't lie but the human heart can do it so easily. Anyway, what I'm pushing at here is that what makes these people evil? True that they all murder/lied/covered up/kidnapped/held hostage etc... but the thing is fundamentally the same, are they that evil?

Every single human heart is capable of being dark. Some are capable of the darkest desires without qualm but there are those who blissfully deny everything even though their hearts are just as dark as those we condemn. I could easily include Phoenix and others to that list as well. The shades of grey are always there but the grey becomes white only because we are told that...

Shelly de Killer at least has some integrity in his business though. He doesn't do anything underhanded. He's evil, but nowhere near the same playing field as others (i.e. the ones Kusanagi mentioned).

But I'd have to say between Kusanagi's options...
Spoiler:
Dahlia. While people like Kristoph, Engarde, and Gant killed in order to maintain their image, it seems like Dahlia didn't care about hers much at all. Sure, she acted sweet and whatnot so she wouldn't look suspicious, but her motive was less a matter of pride and more of a personal vendetta.

Spoiler: My Vote
Dahlia.

She's got the highest body count, if you count Fawles' suicide, which I do (psychological manipulation resulting in death legally generally isn't murder, but morally I consider it to be). And she was willing to continue her murder spree into the afterlife. For better or for worse (my opinion, better; I like the Fey's as characters but feel that the series would benefit from a lot less of the blatantly supernatural), the series seems to have phased out Kurain necromancy, so we probably will not get to see if any of the other five are willing to keep killing after their executions/deaths in prison.

Why is it significant? Well, the series did give some insight into its own theological/philosophical/eschatological views in 3-5, when Mia informed Dahlia that she could always have turned away from her path and repented until the very end, when she died. She didn't; she stayed evil after death, and by implication, for all eternity. No more shades of gray for her: it's all spite, bitterness, and hellfire from here on forevermore out.

If you want to go out on a limb and go on body count...

Von Karma actually caused all of Morgan and Dahlia's murders in a roundabout way - if he didn't kill Gregory in the way he did, then Misty wouldn't have been called in, Greg's spirit wouldn't have lied/gotten it wrong, she wouldn't have ruined the Fey name...you do the math from there.

The only reason he doesn't win the award is because that whole plan wasn't entirely premeditated. He didn't PLAN to kill Greg, it just sort of worked out and he went from there. Gant also technically didn't premeditate killing Neil, as far as we know, or plan to kill Bruce after.
They're both pretty darned evil, though.

Spoiler: 4-4
Kristoph planned every last thing extensively and ruined like three or four lives, along with his murders. All over losing a poker game. That's what sets him above the others.

I didn't limit it to final villians, but I will admit they tend to be the most evil.

One of the reasons that I chose those is that for almost every other villian in the game, there's something behind their motives, where while you certainly don't agree with them, you can relate to and kind of see WHY they did what they did.

All of the other worthwhile villians had some sort of revenge motive or something else that caused them to go through with their plans that gave the impression it wasn't just for their own personal gain.

Examples:
Spoiler:
Ini - Yes, she killed Dr. Gray, but given that he destroyed her life and her sister was killed in a car accident that she held him responsible for, you can kind of relate to her and why she did it.

Acro - The guy wanted revenge against Regina for his brother.

Atmey - Kindof evil, but not quite. Doesn't hold up well under pressure, and keep in mind he in turn was being blackmailed as well.

Same thing with Tigre - He was a bastard, but I don't get the impression he would be driven to murder unless he was being pressured by the mob. After all, dead people can't pay you money.

Daryan - Probably just got in over his head. The whole point the cocoon was in the country in the first place was for the DA's son. I doubt he had any intent to kill over it at all but after the murder of 4-3, he had to make it look like a coverup and then tried to kill Lamiroir

I debated putting Redd White on that list but to me, he just seems to be a goddamn idiot that has other people do his dirty work, not because he manipulates them into doing it like Morgan/Dahlia but who is too stupid to do anything himself.


The only other ones that really leaves are the starting villians and they have no depth whatsoever. Killing someone who walked in while you were burglaring their house? That's not evil to the extent we all love.

It's an interesting idea, except...DL-6 screwed up Misty Fey. Morgan's lack of channeling talent means she would have gotten passed over either way, which means her elaborate plot for revenge still would have brewed up--maybe even worse, since if the Fey name was actually worth anything, there would be even more motivation for Morgan to maneuver her daughter into power. More people might have gotten hurt.

Plus, I'm not comfortable with giving von Karma even partial evil credit for murders committed by people he'd never met or contacted. You play that game, you can pin a lot of evil on people for things that went way beyond what they were even capable of considering or foreseeing.

I'll admit, my reasons for Dahlia are primarily theological/philosophical--there's simply more evidence for her evilness and its unyielding tenacity. Kristoph and von Karma are still near the top of my list, though. For purposes of answering this question, I would have liked to see von Karma one last time after 1-4, ideally with his execution date drawing near, and getting inside his head then.
Spoiler: 4-4
Kristoph we've already seen in solitary, and he was still a cold-hearted sob then, so he's probably but not definitely got the all-eternity-evil potential of a Dahlia Hawthorne....

I'd have to say Dahlia, 'cuz... what she did... was probably the worst out of all of 'em, in my opinion.

And Krissi only did his share out of jealousy. Not very epic itself. I'll think about the others later on.

Wether he's eccentric or not, he still doesn't stack up to the others mentioned. He didn't do anything to cover up his tracks himself and just assumed he still had everyone on his payroll.

He may be rich and a killer, but let's face it, he's no Lex Luthor.

This, not so much. If I grok the Mason System properly (and who really does?), he brought poisoned nail polish to his first meeting with Vera. He didn't even have a reason to snap before he already was plotting a murder. His sanity came pre-broken.

Hence why it's evil, because there IS no rational explanation besides that jealousy.

I think Krissi's personality didn't allow for the fact that someone as ditzy as :phoenix: was chosen over him. That's where he began to flirt with the dark corners of his mind where men dare not go

Hmm, my vote would go to Dahlia, for the sheer heartlessness and lack of remorse she showed. Unfortunately, if she had never shown her evil side and she was being tried by a jury in the killing of her stepsister, she probably would have been acquitted :(

Krissi is also up there for also being a serial murder, but not quite as cold-blooded and hateful.

What about the least evil of all the murderers? Who would have your vote for the least evil?

I would say Acro in that regard because of the emotional nature of the crime and his remorse and shame for his actions.

Maze of Mind was a book I had to read in college. Nevermind.

I'm going to go out on a limb.

Kristoph strikes as a guy who worked really, really hard to make it as a Defense Attorney. Where as, In my opinion, Phoenix just kind of stumlbed around.

How would you feel if you were passed up for something by someone you truly thought was inferior. Krissi might have thought this made him inferior, thus forcing him to ruin Wright to regain his "lost" Honor.

@Writer. Krissi doens't legally count as a serial killer.

Are we sure about that? My understanding was that Kristoph met with Vera and gave her the nail polish while he was still the planned attorney--since the replacement happened less than 24 hours before trial. His first attempted murder was set in motion before his humiliation.

Of course, his next two murders are definitely the product of his replacement and his spectacular failure to handle it like a normal human being--I accept that--but it seems to me that the first murder was the product of something else entirely.

Okay, you give examples.. I give examples.

When I grow up, I hope to one day become a prosecutor or maybe even a paralegal. Now I'm working my ass off. Then one day, a crime happens. I thought I was going to prosecute someone... but someone else ended up doing it instead. Now would I care? No. But Kristoph did.

To each their own, but I personally wouldn't give a rat's ass about it.

The poisoned stamp and nail polish were originally just part of his contingency plan if the forgeries were found out, yeah.

Kristoph strikes as a guy who worked really, really hard to make it as a Defense Attorney. Where as, In my opinion, Phoenix just kind of stumlbed around.

How would you feel if you were passed up for something by someone you truly thought was inferior. Krissi might have thought this made him inferior, thus forcing him to ruin Wright to regain his "lost" Honor.


Well, Phoenix did go to law school (we would imagine) and he cared about what he did. He didn't have as much time as Kristoph did to practice at trial.

@Writer. Krissi doens't legally count as a serial killer.


All right, maybe that was the wrong word choice. My point is he killed more than one person. One of them with nail polish. That is stylish. :garyuu:

It's..... Hold on.


Attorneys judge each other by Courtroom styles. Krissi is like a Dick DeGuerin or a John Connally. Dignified and all that.

:phoenix: Hardly has any style.

I think :phoenix: 's personality also bothered Krissi.

Gee, he can read minds now? What's next.

:phoenix: 's courtroom style was to get bailed out at the last minute by :mia:, :mia-maya:, :maya:, :pearl:, :franny:, etc., as the case may be. That bothered everyone, I'm sure--Godot, for certain, Franziska and Edgeworth, probably, me, definitely.

Eerie--the thought just occurred to me: if Kristoph really wanted to bring Phoenix down, all he would need is the influence to get the legislature/judiciary committee/whatever-we're-using-now to create a new rule of trial procedure: "No necromancy in the courtroom!" A Phoenix without access to Kurain channeling in a pinch is a Phoenix whose record would become a disaster.

'Jection.

Maya was not around for awhile, even when Phoenix took the case where he ended up being framed. He doesn't need Maya or channeling anymore. Plus at the end of TAT, Mia said that "Phoenix had surpassed her and had nothing more to learn", meaning it would be useless to channel Mia for help again.

Withdrawn. Mostly just my lingering annoyance with the plot structure for most of the series; I'd pay money for a version of the original trilogy where the player is allowed to figure a few more things out for themselves without calling on the dead.

Although...he's without Fey help for what, four months, before he falls into a trap and gets disbarred?

EDIT: Just sayin'.

:aiga: Precisely.

Mia's done, she can't help him anymore. Why bother channeling her for case help anymore?
