Luke Triton

I'm Luke Triton. My occupation is... the professor's assistant!

Personality

Triton is an eager and inquisitive assistant to Layton, even cleaning up for his mentor when the professor's cleaning lady Rosa isn't around. He is known for eating voraciously, with sweet foods being a particular favorite, and his preferred tea blend is Oasis Berry. Triton has been shown to be proficient at climbing (at one point scaling a giant robot) and has the ability to speak with animals. He is also learning to play the violin. Triton likes to carry around a stuffed bear in his trunk, with another at home which he claims to be his "best friend".

Name

"Triton" may have been chosen in reference to Neptune's moon Triton. If so, then Layton's given name "Hershel", may have been chosen for John Herschel, an English astronomer who wrote to William Lassell after Neptune's discovery to suggest that he search for possible moons. Lassell did so and discovered Triton. If so, this would link both Triton and Layton's names.
