Ahlbi Ur'gaid

"Ahlbi Ur'gaid"

- Allow me to explain!

Ahlbi Ur'gaid is a monk-in-training who works as a tour guide in Khura'in. Once he starts one of his tour monologues, there is no stopping him. When Ur'gaid was accused of murder, Phoenix Wright, who was visiting Khura'in at the time, stepped in to defend him in court.

Accused of murder

Ur'gaid was accused of murdering treasure guard Paht Rohl. With no one to defend him, he was declared guilty, but Wright objected to the verdict. Ur'gaid frantically tried to tell Wright to leave him, as defense attorneys are not seen in a good light within Khura'in, but Wright pressed on, finding the true killer and getting Ur'gaid a not guilty verdict.

After his trial, he assisted Wright in his investigation of Tahrust Inmee's and Rheel Neh'mu's deaths.

He once again assisted Wright, whom was investigating with Miles Edgeworth, in Inga Karukul Khura'in's murder investigation.

Personality
Ur'gaid is an industrious and energetic boy who loves to tell people about Khura’in, putting everything he has into what he does. His explanations are often long-winded and incredibly detailed, going on for hours at a time unless someone stops him. He greets foreigners with the traditional Khura'inese greeting "hap'piraki" and often times offers them "magatah'man," a Magatama-shaped sweet bun. Despite being otherwise friendly, he, like most of his country, holds a deep distrust and hatred towards defense attorneys.

Name

 * His Japanese name, "Bokuto Tsuani" (ボクト・ツアーニ), is a play on "boku to tsuā ni", which translates to "tour with me", alluding to his occupation as a tour guide.
 * "Ahlbi Ur'gaid", his English name, is a play on "I'll be your guide", in reference to his job as a tour guide.

Development

 * Ur'gaid is the youngest defendant in the Ace Attorney series to date, as well as the second youngest witness after Cody Hackins.
 * Ur'gaid's tuft of hair is meant to resemble Maya Fey's top knot, showing a link between the cultures of Kurain Village and the Kingdom of Khura'in.
