| Wordsmith |
| I have been dubbed a "witness", thus I must clearly have witnessed something. ...Do you see? |
Wordsmith is an old man in Labyrinthia who seems to think himself something of a philosopher. He was a witness in both of Espella Cantabella's witch trials; as a normal citizen for the former and as a (recently hired) member of the Vigilantes in the latter.
Espella's trial
- Main article: The Fire Witch
At some point Wordsmith signed a contract with Labrelum Inc. in order to have his memories suppressed and live a new life as a resident of Labyrinthia.
Around dinner time on the evening that Hershel Layton and Luke Triton arrived in Labyrinthia, Wordsmith witnessed two thugs being seemingly burnt alive by the spell Ignaize after confronting Espella Cantabella. He later appeared at the Witches' Court with Mary, Kira, Knightle, and Emeer Punchenbaug for Cantabella's trial. In the first half of the trial, Wordsmith testified that Cantabella's lantern fell to the ground after the Ignaize incantation and that he had heard a "sploosh" sound. When Cantabella's defender, Phoenix Wright, asked him if he heard the lantern's glass shattering, he admitted that he did not, causing Mary to remember that the lamp fell before the incantation. Later on, during the second half of the trial, Wordsmith and Mary testified that there were only four witnesses at the crime scene, leading Wright and Layton to conclude that one of the five witnesses was the actual witch who had cast the spell. They proved that Kira was that individual, and so the flower seller was sent to the flames.
As a Vigilante
- Main article: The Final Witch Trial
At the final witch trial, Wordsmith appeared as one of the ten Vigilantes testifying against Cantabella when she was accused of the murder of the Storyteller. Although he tried to claim that he was not Wordsmith, nobody present believed him.
Personality
Wordsmith thinks of himself as an incredibly deep philosopher, and constantly makes mystical observations. However, often he becomes too abstract, almost to the point where he's not even referring to the topic at hand. It's implied he's jobless, and possibly homeless, as in alternate endgame scenes he's always seen out in nature. His role as a Vigilante suggests a desire to divorce himself from his previous life as an unintelligible vagrant, but this disguise fools no one. Despite this, he keeps up the charade, pretending not to understand when other people call him Wordsmith.
Name
- His English name comes from the term for someone who applies almost craftsman-like skills to word use.
- His French name "Philocrate" is a combination of "philosophie" (French for "philosophy") and "Socrate" (the French name for the Greek philosopher Socrates).
- His Spanish name comes from the word "divagar" (meaning "to wander off topic") with a Latin suffix added to make it sound like a name.
