Ace Finch

Ace Finch was a lawyer, famous for getting Jax Klington into jail. After the escape of said criminal, Finch had to go into witness protection, taking on the name of Face Chin.

Before his esteemed victory, Finch defended Percy Ikenberry in court.

Personality
Finch is very enthousiastic about his job. Always wearing his courtroom robes. Even outside of trials. He quotes verses from a book about law, and has a tendancy to yell "Objection"."Percy: 'Mr Finch. I wanted to ask you some questions...'""Finch:  'OBJECTION!... I don't feel like that right now.'"In the Dutch version, he speaks in a very old fahioned manner. Using the older "mijnheer" (comparable to m'lord) and "vrouwe" (comparable to lady), and refering to himself as "Ik! Meester Wettig" (Me! Master Wettig/Finch). As you can see, he always follows his I's and Me's with his title. While in English you would just say Mr. to a lawyer, in Dutch, you say "meester" (master). This speach pattern doesn't appear in any other version. But in Japanese, he calls himself Masayoshi-sama (正義様). Masayoshi (正義) being his own name, and sama (様) being a title for someone you deeply respect. Both the Dutch and Japanese speach patterns show that he's a really egocentric man.

Development

 * Finch was originally going to be a law student, rather than a lawyer. But after adding robes to the character design, it was changed to an attorney.
 * In the Netherlands, everyone who practices law, has to wear a set of robes while in the courtroom. The game was originally made in Dutch, so that's where his robes come from.

Name

 * Bram comes from the Dutch lawyer Bram Moszkowicz who lost his rights to practice law in 2013.
 * Wettig means "lawfully" in Dutch
 * Ace comes from the Ace Attorney videogame series.
 * Finch comes from Atticus Finch. The lawyer in "To Kill a Mockingbird"
 * The French Atticus also comes from Atticus Finch.
 * Vèrges comes from the French lawyer Jacques Vergès, who was known as the devils advocate.
 * The kanji that make up "Housuke" (法介) can be broken down into "hou" (法) meaning "law", and "suke" (介), which is a common suffix for male Japanese names. This makes the meaning of his first name literally "boy of law" or "law boy".
 * Masayoshi is the Kanji for "justice" (正義).
 * His alter ego's are anagrams of his real name. The Japanese version is literally his name backwards.
