Guy Eldoon

"Guy Eldoon"

- That stand's seen its share o' salt, mmm-hmmm. Salt runs in the family, you might say.

Guy Eldoon is a noodle vendor who comes from a long line of noodle vendors. He used to be a surgeon, but a rivalry forced him out of the job.

Early life and career
Refusing to follow in his father's footsteps as a noodle vendor, Guy Eldoon set out to make something of himself as a doctor. He set up a clinic in Los Angeles, but would later be run out of business by rival doctor Pal Meraktis, who had mob ties. He resigned himself to his fate as a noodle cart vendor.

When his father ran the noodle stand, Phoenix Wright would often visit with his assistant at the time, Maya Fey. Later, when Wright adopted Trucy Wright, the two of them would often visit the noodle stand as well.

Theft of noodle stand

One morning, Guy Eldoon found that his noodle stand was stolen. He quickly hired Apollo Justice, a lawyer Wright had taken under his wing, to find it. Justice found the stand, but it had become part of the crime scene of the murder of Meraktis. As such, being stuck without his noodle stand, he promised to help Justice in any way he could. Justice suspected Eldoon for a brief time when Eldoon told Justice about his rivalry with Meraktis.

Eldoon got his chance to help when Justice brought him a medical chart belonging to Wocky Kitaki, the heir to the Kitaki mob family. Eldoon finally revisited his past as a doctor, revealing his short clack hair underneath his noodle bowl "hat". Eldoon was stunned by what he saw on the chart; given the location of the bullet in Wocky's chest, it was a miracle that he was still alive.

He understood Meraktis' despair, however: if he tried to remove the bullet, he'd risk killing Wocky right then, but if he admitted he couldn't remove it, he'd be erased by the Kitakis.

Personality
Eldoon often intersperses his speech with a short tune on his harmonica. He has received complaints in the past due to this, as his playing has been described as being louder than an ice cream truck.

Eldoon prides himself on his extremely salty noodles and uses rainwater to cook them.

Despite his goofy nature, he can be very serious when the situation demands it.
