Typhon Reptillious

**Typhon Robert Reptillious** is a 37-year old male defense attorney that resides in Los Angeles. He's commonly known for his snobbish personality, as well as being the richest defense attorney in the world. Having lost his family to a terrible kidnapping incident, Typhon refuses to open up to anyone.

He loves milkshakes and dislikes animals.

## Appearance

Typhon wears one of two suits: a gray suit with a green tie, or just full-out all green. He has a LARGE Attorney's Badge with a ribbon, larger than depicted in the picture to the right. He has long, brown hair, in the style of a sort of faux-mullet. He also has an eyepatch, losing his eye after he defended someone by pinning a much worse crime on him. The defendant was not pleased.

Despite what you may imagine, Typhon does not lounge around with a fancy robe and a pipe. rather, his casual clothes are that of sweatpants and a tank top. Weird, huh?

## Backstory

Typhon was born into the Reptillious family, a name that holds much more wealth to it than names like Wright or Edgeworth in the DA family lines. His mother, Gaia, often donated to children's hospitals and took on cases involving international incidents. Typhon wanted to grow up just to be like his mother.

When Typhon met Echidna Esquivel at the age of 21, it was a true case of opposites attracting. They met during an incident involving her father and his very first case. Eddy was a tomboy that often got drunk at parties and played visual novel games in her undergarments, but Typhon saw a spark of brilliance hidden inside her that only he could see. They became partners in court and eventually got married. They quickly had a son named Ladon. Gaia disapproved of Eddy, but fell in love with their grandson, Ladon. Gaia also happens to be much less rich than Carlos Esquivel, Echidna's father, so her disapproval may be correctly viewing her as a snob.

Ladon was kidnapped at 8 months old by a cult leader known as Jades Oxus, real name Deville Raze. Being held back to take action, Typhon relied on the police to find their son. In a fit of panic, Echidna found Typhon to be selfish and left him. They soon divorced and went their ways as they has entirely separate methods to finding their son.

What Echidna didn't know is that Typhon was told that he would be taken care of, had he not actively pursued the child. All he wanted was for Ladon to have a good life, and despite the evil teachings he received, he indeed had a good childhood.

Typhon now temporarily hosts Eddy and Ladon in his mansion until they can find a decent home in Los Angeles. He still harbors feelings for his family.

## Relationships

### **Echidna Reptillious**

Ex-spouses. They battle in the courtroom very rarely, although when they do it brings out the worst in them. They once even tried to blackmail each other using each other's favorite TV shows, to which they are both embarrassed.

### **Deems Mendel**

Typhon and Deems are casual frenemies, though neither likes to admit any sort of liking for the other due to their drastically different lifestyles. Typhon will often bribe the judge when it comes to any cases he's involved in, and will make quick work of it. Deems reminds Typhon of Echidna, which makes him detest Deems a bit more than he would normally. He also greatly detests his over-repugnant sexual pursuits. Despite this, he considers Deems a good friend deep down for putting up with his frustrations, and treating Echidna like a good friend.

### **Atakin Torney**

Typhon and Att don't speak much, but whenever they do, they often rival each other, due to the fact that they're both very inflated in their self-image. They opened their law firms at the same time, and refused to work for the other, as they both like to "be in charge of the losers". Typhon believes he is superior to Att because he doesn't admit that he's better.

### **Dielcis**

Typhon bought Dielcis to work for him, but while Dielcis pretends that he adores Typhon, he wishes his master would be less of a snob. After his death, Typhon tried everything in his power to bring his robot companion back, as everyone cared for him. Simply rebuilding him will not bring his memories back, but Typhon is determined to find a way.

### **Ladon Reptillious**

Typhon cares for his son more than most people. He wants to know him better, and perhaps teach him to be more open minded than he himself has been.

### **Phoenix Wright**

Typhon doesn't know Mr. Wright personally in any way, other than the fact that they often play cards together. These are the only times Typhon loses any game of sport, and it infuriates him. He's gone on record to threaten the life of Mr. Wright's "stupid ghost sidekick" over a game of Go-Fish. Because of this he refuses to ever affiliate himself with Wright and Co. Law Offices.

### **Edwin Case**

Typhon and Edwin stood next to each other once.

## Quotes

*"Hillary Duff is a jew."* -A grossly out-of-context thing that Typhon swears was intelligent with context. He meant no insult by this.

*"Shit!"* -Typhon unknowingly describing Deems.

## Trivia

* Typhon is the name of the father of all greek monsters, and the husband of Echidna. Reptillious is a made-up word sounding like 'Reptile", since the Typhon was a long-haired snake-like man beast, which also explains his appearance and love for green.
* Typhon's naming scheme was based off of other canonical defense attorneys in the series.
* Typhon was originally named "Robert Snobley." This was simply a placeholder.
* Other placeholders included "Evil Phoenix", "Giles Snedgeworth" (which I SWEAR is a coincidence with Hipster Prussia's character "Simon von Spledgeworth") , "Bill Dollars", 'Gill Bates", and "Benjamin Lincoln".
* He was loosely based off a presidential candidate from another story entirely, but almost everything about him was changed.
* The idea for him came when I imagined a fangame for Ace Attorney in which three separate Defense Attorneys were direct rivals and had to do things their way. One was Phoenix Wright, another was a female character that was a very early design for Echidna, and Robert. Robert was the most interesting of the three, being a playable villain, and was chosen over the girl to be my first character.
