仲間戸 真治

Buddy Faith was a detective whose body was found in the Prosecutor's Building, on the day of Miles Edgeworth's return. Faith was assigned to the prosecutor Jacques Portsman as his investigative partner. When Ernest Amano was about to be arrested by Shi-Long Lang, Portsman appeared (along with Faith) to take him away. This was because, in actuality, both Portsman and Amano were part of an international smuggling ring, and thus Portsman was tasked to protect Amano from the law. In order to perform this task, Portsman had Faith obtain three pieces of evidence for him: a gun, a pendant, and a video tape. Both the gun and the pendant were important pieces of evidence in the case against Amano. The video tape, labeled "KG-8 Incident" and stained with Faith's blood at the time of his death, would later aid in the arrest of Quercus Alba, the leader of the smuggling ring. Faith returned to Portsman's office with the three pieces of evidence, but finding his superior was out, he instead left a note that he had gotten the three items and would meet up with him later. The detective then heard the sound of someone moving about in Edgeworth's office, which was suspicious since the prosecutor had not yet returned to his office. He entered Edgeworth's office only to find Portsman ransacking the room in search of something. Faith confronted his superior and, in the struggle, Portsman took the detective's police issue pistol from him. The prosecuting prodigy asserted that a prosecutor's job was to find the accused guilty. Faith asked why Portsman was doing what he was doing, only to be told that the prosecutor would use any means necessary to obtain a guilty verdict before promptly being shot. The bullet passed through Faith's lower abdomen and into the bookcase behind him. "Jim" fell back against the bookcase and collapsed, dead. [Taken from his Ace Attorney Wiki page.]
