Prosecutor Godot

The mysterious, coffee-loving Godot is the main prosecutor in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. He is known to drink seventeen cups of coffee per trial day. From his first appearance and then on, he displays a grudge against Phoenix, purposefully calling him "Phoenix Trite."

Name

Comes from the play "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett.

Background

Godot was originally Diego Armando, a senior defense lawyer working at Grossberg Law Offices for the veteran defense attorney Marvin Grossberg. Back then he had black, spiky hair and no mask over his eyes. His dress-shirt was red, and his tie was black.

Diego Armando

Mr. Armando was Mia's aide when she took on her first case, giving her advice as she went through. Near the end of the trial, their client Terry Fawles died on the stand as a result of drinking poison given to him by the real murderer, Dahlia Hawthorne. Angered by the outcome, Mr. Armando broke his mug of coffee and told Mia something very important: the only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over.

On August 27, 2012, Diego Armando sat with Dahlia Hawthorne to question her. Fearing that the lawyer was on to her, Dahlia slipped a special poison into Mr. Armando's cup of coffee. As a result of drinking the poisoned cup, Diego fell into a 4-year coma. The poison had damaged his central nervous system and caused him to go blind, and his hair turned white.

Four years later, at the time of Case 2-2, Mr. Armando woke up due to the smell of coffee. When he learned that his lover Mia Fey had been murdered a year ago by Redd White, he blamed Phoenix for her death and started to become a prosecutor to test him in court. He now wears a special visor over his eyes and calls himself "Godot."
