"It's hard to feel like king of your castle when you can't even solve your grandchildren's puzzles."


Dean Delmona is a recurring character in the Professor Layton series. He is the dean of Gressenheller University and Layton's boss.

Appearance[]

Delmona is a short man with fair skin, a round, dark brown nose, and a dirty blonde mustache. His head is big and cone-shaped, and on the tip of his head is a tuft of brown hair, which turns out to be merely a wig. He wears an orange suit with a visible pocket and three brown buttons over a white dress shirt and a green tie, and brown shoes. He also wears round, opaque glasses with black rims.

In Layton's Mystery Journey, Delmona's face sports much more wrinkles, his mustache is longer and white, he now sports a goatee, and his wig is an even bigger tuft of white locks. He wears a magenta suit with three black buttons over a white sweater, and white shoes with dark blue soles.

Trivia[]

  • Delmona gives the quest "Professor Layton Returns" in London Life.
  • He has a slight physical resemblance to the character Abe Simpson from the American television series The Simpsons.
  • In Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, Layton notes that one of the traits that immediately gave away the future Dean Delmona as being a fake was his white hair, since Delmona had been bald for ages and once told this secret to Layton. Don Paolo didn't know this, so he mistakenly chose a white wig to make it appear that the dean had aged.
    • Ironically enough, in Millionares' Conspiracy- which takes place 20+ years after those events- he actually does have a white wig that matches his facial hair, and it jumps off of his head when he is surprised.
