== Story ==
=== Background ===
Gregory Edgeworth was born at an unknown date in 1966 to two unnamed parents in the United States of America.
In his young adult years, he studied to become a defence attorney, eventually passing the bar exam and becoming a defence attorney at a young age. Throughout his career, he garnered an impressive ability in defending his clients and proving their innocence, earning him a considerable and well-respected reputation by those around him.
At an unknown date and time, Gregory was romantically involved with an unnamed wife and the two birthed a son who they named Miles Edgeworth. The fate of Gregory's wife is ultimately unknown and ambiguous so is left up to the interpretation of players. Gregory was a major influence to a young Miles who ultimately inspires him to become a defence attorney just like his father. Miles regularly mimicked his father's mannerisms which eventually led to Miles defending a fellow classmate during a class trial.
=== The DL-6 Incident & Death ===
On December 28th, 2001, Gregory heads to the District Courthouse, accompanied by his son, for his upcoming trial, prosecuted by the God of Prosecutors, Manfred von Karma. During the trial, Gregory calls out and exposes von Karma's dirty and corrupt methods to the court resulting in von Karma's first and only penalty in his career. Despite von Karma's dirty tactics, the trial is lost and Gregory's client is declared guilty. Gregory and Miles leave the courtroom, entering the elevator to leave the courthouse whilst accompanied by Yanni Yogi, a court bailiff.
At 2:30 PM, a large, damaging earthquake strikes the courthouse, damaging a section of the building and completely cutting electricity to all of the building in turn trapping the trio of men in the dark, cramped elevator. The trio wait and remain calm until rescue arrives however as time goes and the hours pass, the adults become uneasy. Yogi loses his composure due to the lack of oxygen in the elevator and grows increasingly hostile despite Gregory's objections to remain calm and conserve the oxygen in the elevator. The men continue arguing until Yogi reaches his breaking point and attacks Gregory, claiming he was "stealing his air". At that moment, Miles spots a gun on the floor, having dropped from Yogi's belt and so to stop the fight, Miles throws the weapon at the pair. The pistol discharges, unleashing a shot that goes through the elevator door and hits a dazed von Karma on the outside. All three men fall unconscious from the oxygen deprivation.
A few moments later, the electricity is restored to the building and the elevator doors open, revealing all three unconscious men inside. As revenge for ruining his perfect, untainted record, von Karma picks up the pistol on the floor and fires it once into the heart of Gregory Edgeworth, killing him. Von Karma hastily flees the scene. Because Gregory was unconscious at the time of his death, he died never knowing who murdered him.
Hours later following Gregory's murder, the men are rescued from the elevator with the exception of Gregory who is discovered dead slumped against the wall of the elevator soaked in his own blood. The police investigate Gregory's murder in a case that infamously comes to be known as the DL-6 Incident.
