巌徒 海慈

Damon Gant is the eccentric District Chief of Police of the Los Angeles district police department. He is good friends with the Judge. Gant is usually jovial and a bit eccentric, but is ultimately a respected leader of the police force. He has a habit of making up pet names for various people, such as "Wrighto" for Wright, "Worthy" for Edgeworth, and "Udgey" for the judge. Gant had a habit of playing with his hair when he's mulling something over and clapping whilst laughing when amused. He also shows a liking for swimming, and would often suggest communal swimming sessions between himself and others. When upset, he creates a long and ominous pause in the room while he simply stares at whoever upset him. Prior to the SL-9 Incident, Damon Gant was the Chief Detective of the Los Angeles district. He and his partner, Lana Skye, became known as the "Legendary Duo" for their services to law enforcement. Gant also called himself the "crime computer", taking great pride in his crime-solving abilities. During Darke's interrogation (the SL-9 incident), a power outage occurred. Seeing his opportunity, Darke fled the room and, with Neil in hot pursuit, ended up in the joint office of Gant and Skye, where he found Skye's sister Ema. By the time Gant made it to the office, all three occupants were unconscious from a violent confrontation. More determined to convict Darke than ever, and seeing a chance to use the situation to his advantage, Gant cut a piece of cloth from Neil's vest with Ema's handprint on it, picked up the unconscious prosecutor, and impaled him on the sword of a suit of armor by Gant's desk, killing him. He then wrote the name "Ema" with the victim's blood on a nearby jar and broke it to create a fake clue. Lana arrived later and saw the crime scene. Gant told Lana to rearrange the crime scene to make it look like Darke had killed Neil, and Lana complied because she believed that Ema had accidentally killed Neil. Gant hid two items in his safe for "insurance" purposes: a piece of the jar with part of Ema's name on it, and the piece of cloth with Ema's handprint. Gant and Lana presented their false evidence to Neil's replacement, Miles Edgeworth. Thanks to this evidence, Darke was sentenced to death for his crimes. Gant later became Chief of Police and arranged for Lana to be Chief Prosecutor so that he could control her and the prosecutor's office. To make sure that the investigation team stayed quiet about the evidence, Chief Gant fired Angel Starr and demoted Jake to patrolman level. He let Goodman keep his position to draw away suspicion of his actions. For the next two years, Damon Gant blackmailed Lana Skye to keep control of the city's law enforcement. One day, shortly before the evidence from the SL-9 Incident was to be transferred into storage, Jake Marshall convinced Bruce Goodman to push for the reopening of the SL-9 case. Goodman hence approached Gant about the subject in the evidence room. Panicked, Gant killed Goodman with Darke's knife. He quickly tried to clean up the crime scene and enlisted the help of Lana Skye and Miles Edgeworth.
