Inspector Chelmey

Inspector Chelmey, also known as Chelms, is a character from the Professor Layton series.
== Charactah Account ==
Inspector Chelmey is an infamous (among criminals, that is), grumpy detective from Scotland Yard but he doesn't always live up to his reputation, though.
Inspector Chelmey is gruff and rather unfeeling, although he does show mild affection to his second, Barton. He also loves his wife, Amelie; proved by Barton's comment that he'd never seen a man more in love with his wife than Inspector Chelmey. He enjoys showing Layton up, but Layton usually ends up doing a better job than Chelmey, instead.
Inspector Chelmey takes pride in his job, and is definitely dedicated to being an inspector. He has demonstrated great talent in analytical thinking, although his habit of jumping to conclusions often leads to him being outdone by the Professor. He always consider himself to have a rivalry with Layton despite Layton considering has a friend then rival, despite that the two stay in good term.

== Trivia ==
* In the US version of Curious Village, Chelmey's favorite food is sweet-potato fritters. In the UK version, however, his favorite food is cake.
* Despite being voiced by Christoper Miller in the games, Chelmey is voiced by Jonathan Keeble in Eternal Diva.
* Though Chelmey isn't a major character in the prequel trilogy, the character Inspector Grosky could be considered to be his equivalent, playing a similar role to him. The biggest difference between the two characters is that Chelmey is grumpy and impatient, while Grosky is spunkier and more athletic. It should be noted that Chelmey and Barton do cameo in Last Specter when Emmy goes to Scotland Yard. Amelie, who turns out to be Grosky's sister, and Chelmey are also seen in Azran Legacy, traveling the world on their honeymoon.
* Technically, Chelmey made his physical debut not in Curious Village but in reality in Diabolical Box.
* Inspector Chelmey appears on another game called Inazuma Eleven, which is another different game franchise of LEVEL-5, and appears on a team called the Layton Team but it is only a brief appearance and his team may not be even challenged. This team includes Professor Layton, Luke, Flora, Don Paolo, Inspector Chelmey and Anton Herzen.
* When Chelmey first met Layton in Diabolical Box, he didn't trust him, and was quite rude to him. But Chelmey seemed to have developed a new respect for Layton somewhere in between Diabolical Box and Unwound Future, and even admitted to him that he was baffled by the case of the missing prime minister.
* Chelmey gives the request "Scotland Yard Escalation" in London Life.
* Chelmey would have to be in his mid 30's to 40's.
* Chelmey appears in the crossover title, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. His role in the game very brief, appearing in London during the prologue.
* Chelmey is rarely seen smiling, even while conversing lovingly with his wife while on his honeymoon (though this may be because his mouth is obscured by his mustache). Amelie however points out that he's blushing.
* Chelmey resembles the fictional character Inspector James Japp from Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot book series.
* Like Pheonix Wright and Mile Edgeworth who are friends and rivals at the same time, Chelmey consider himself to be Layton rival to know who is better investigating, but Layton always considers him more of a friend than a rival.
