The Order of Knights Captain is a character that appears in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. He is the superior of the Knights that are sworn to protect Labyrinthia, and has a unwavering loyalty to his leader Inquisitor Zacharias Barnham.


Plot[]

The Captain first appears alongside some other knights on Main Street when Professor Hershel Layton and Luke Triton first arrive in Labyrinthia. He speaks to Cecil and Petal, admiring Cecil’s desire to become a knight someday. When Layton speaks to the Captain, however, he becomes quite suspicious of him, but after the Professor solves a puzzle for him, he drops the matter.

He is next seen on North Parade Avenue, controlling the crowds as they wait for the Storyteller to appear. The Story that is dished out to the crowds causes panic, as it announces that a witch will appear that night. Luke’s claim that the Story won’t come true doesn’t help matters, causing a commotion. The Captain then decides that his initial suspicions were correct, and the Knights chase Layton and Luke across town. They manage to evade them with the help of Espella Cantabella. That night, the Captain and a few other knights barge into the bakery, seeking out Phoenix Wright who has been summoned to the Witches' Court to serve as a ‘defender’.

The next day, Layton and Luke receive a summons from the Storyteller himself, who wishes to see them in the Audience Room. On their way, they bump into the Captain, telling him that he can’t chase them around like he did before. Layton settles a dispute between the Captain and Cutter, who had been accused of theft. He said it was part of the duty of an English gentleman, and the Captain thought that ‘English’ was some sort of a title.

On the night of the final witch trial, the Captain mourned the death of the Storyteller and the arrest of Inquisitor Barnham for treason, but told his subordinates that the town was relying on the Order of Knights now more than ever. As Layton and Luke passed by him again, he noticed that Constantine was with them and realised that Barnham had selected them to finish his investigation. Therefore, he let them proceed to the Storyteller's Tower.

Puzzles[]

The Knight Captain gives out the puzzles "Knight Training" and "Chess Assault".
