Simon Blackquill

Unreleased

Simon Blackquill is a prosecutor who has been ordered to stand in court despite technically serving a murder sentence. His animal companion, a hawk named Gin, perches on his shoulder and harasses Apollo Justice to prevent him from using his bracelet. Blackquill has a unique interjection in court, which can be roughly translated as "Shut it!"

Name

 * His Japanese surname is possibly a play on the word "yugami" (歪み), which means "a warp/distortion".


 * His Japanese given name means "benevolence".


 * His English given name "Simon" comes from the Classical Hebrew "שִׁמְעוֹן" (shim'ón), meaning "hearkening" or "he has heard".


 * "Blackquill" is a combination of "black" (dark colors being prominent in his character design) and "quill" (a writing implement made from the molted flight feather of a bird).
