Character Information
Name: Miles Edgeworth
Canon Origin/Series: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Personality: A basic, first glance explanation of his personality is that he is a smug perfectionist, though, like most people, he goes much much deeper. He is a genuinely caring person, whether or not he wants to be all the time. He is very focused on justice being done, however he will also do his job even if a conflict of interests arises in the process. He tends to have a very no-nonsense attitude and can be bitingly sarcastic towards people, though he will treat people with respect that deserve it from him. He is very mature and set in his ways, and does not seem to like having a lot of attention drawn to him even though he tends to get it. He is for the most part very calm though annoyed easily, and in extreme situations he will show the emotion called for.
Brief History in Canon: Miles grew up with his father, Gregory Edgeworth, who was a defense attorney, which he aspired to be. One day in school he defended his classmate, Phoenix Wright, who had been accused of stealing his lunch money, because although no one else believed Phoenix, he attested his innocence and Miles thought someone should stand up for him. He was backed up by another boy, Larry Butz. The three became fast friends. Later that year, though, Miles and his father were in an elevator with a guard after a trial when an earthquake hit. Though he was nearly unconscious from oxygen deprivation, he heard a struggle between the two men, so he picked up a nearby gun and threw it to protect his father, but it fired. When they were found, his father was dead from a gunshot wound. Miles tried to forget that he had thrown the gun, but was constantly plagued by nightmares of it.
Miles was taken in by Manfred von Karma, who had been the prosecutor in his father's last case and was basically made a part of the family. Von Karma was obsessed with perfection and taught Miles to become a prosecutor that would do whatever it took to get a perfect record. When he was 20 he made his first appearance in court, and quickly became known as the "demon prosecutor," never losing a case. This continued until he was 24 and first had to face Phoenix in court, when he first lost a case. He did not take it very well, seeing as his perfect streak was broken, nor did he like the memories of his old self that Phoenix kept bringing back to his mind. However, when he was accused of murder, Miles found himself having to rely on Phoenix for help, although it meant having to dig up a past he rather would have him not look at. Despite the fact that all the evidence was against him, Phoenix didn't give up and managed to get him acquitted, simultaneously proving that Miles did not accidently kill his father, but von Karma had. This case opened his eyes and made him realize there was more to the law than simply prosecuting the accused.
After that he went abroad and began studying international law, coming back twice to assist on cases. The first time he was met with an odd reception, as he had left a note implying he had committed suicide before he left. The second time he filled in as the defense attorney for a day, as Phoenix was in the hospital with a bad cold after nearly getting himself killed. During these times he was far less of a jerk in his interactions with the others and appeared to have eased up around people a bit, his personal demons having been mostly solved.

He was accepted to Hogwarts and did very well in his first year there. However, tragedy struck that summer, as his father was killed in a dark wizard attack while returning home from work. Miles witnessed the attack, and though he was in hiding for most of it he unfortunately saw his father's final moments, the vision and shock of which still torment him. With no other family, he was taken to Germany by Manfred von Karma, a wizard that had known his father through his international work with the Ministry. Miles continued the rest of his schooling in the mainland of Europe under his strict rules and guidance, which hardened his personality a bit. He had not heard of any news of the wizard who killed his father being caught and brought to justice, which disenchanted his interest in the Aurors and, more notably, the Wizengamot.
After he finished his education, he decided to return to Great Britain and seek work in the Ministry of Magic despite his dislike for a few of the departments. His initial hiring was in lower office work, as most of the wizards there did not know him and he only had his education record from Germany, however an additional endorsement from von Karma, who still commonly worked as an international representative, helped him gain a position. His talents were quickly evident, however, and he quickly rose through the ranks in different departments, making connections with various wizards in them. Eventually found himself in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Though he was initially leery of this placement, as it put him too close to the Wizengamot for comfort, he found himself working in the Improper Use of Magic Office, where his near-obsession with making sure people in violation of the laws were punished in some way helped raise him to one of the higher positions in the office.
What do they do at the Ministry?: He works in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement as one of the higher ups in the Improper Use of Magic Office.
Sample Interaction Post in First Person: ...Greetings, students. I am Miles Edgeworth of the Improper Use of Magic Office, and I will be watching over things for a while. I request that you merely answer anything I may inquire of you.

Hmph, Hogwarts. I admit, I do not have many memories of this place. In the grand schema, however, such things are not important.
I am not completely pleased with this assignment, but it has been given to me and, as such, I will carry it out. If I can assist in terminating the actions of criminals, then this will not be a waste of my abilities. This may also help us to better understand these children for the circumstances in which we normally have to deal with them.

He paused for a moment as his eyes fell on the memo that had flown onto his desk earlier in the day. Though it did not go into many details, he had gained the basic gist of it. The Ministry obviously wanted him to go to Hogwarts as one of their officials in their research on the recent Death Eater attacks on the students. Honestly, he was not completely sure of the point of sending someone from the Improper Use of Magic Office. Of course he was qualified for practically any job they assigned him, however it really appeared to be something that better suited the Auror office. And yet, if students were getting involved in the activities currently surrounding the Dark Arts, perhaps the presence of someone in his division was not so bad. Regardless, he still needed to attend the meeting it mentioned later that day, where he would undoubtably be given the details of this assignment.
He leaned back in his chair and looked out the window. Hogwarts... The year he had spent there was mostly a blur in his mind. That had been during a better...well, no, different period in his life. He frowned before returning his attention back to the paperwork in front of him. Though he had tried not to in the first place, now that he thought of it, perhaps gathering information and keeping a watch on dark wizards was not such a bad place for him after all.
Why should this character be accepted for a ministry position?: He is very focused on his job and making sure that in the end, justice is done. However, if the two ever conflict, he can be good about finding ways to balance them into the proper solution. Also, if he knows something bad is going on, he does whatever he can to make sure it's stopped. Seeing as he was a prosecutor in canon and thus had a high ranking position, the Ministry seems to suit him.
Magic Words?: Bacon bits!
