Main Characters

Professor Hershel Layton

An unabashed puzzle fanatic, Hershel Layton's skill for cracking the toughest riddles has put his name in the papers many times. His trademark top hat fits him so well, you'd swear that it was part of his body.

Luke Triton

As the self-proclaimed apprentice of Professor Layton, Luke follows his teacher everywhere, but he still has much to learn before he can be called a Puzzle Master. Besides puzzles, Luke is also a huge animal lover.

Flora Reinhold

The only daughter of a vastly wealthy family, Flora is the mysterious girl who has been running around the village. She lost her mother as a small child and was raised by her father, Baron Agustus Reinhold. Flora rigged up her disguise so she could slink around town without being noticed. Just about any of the townsfolk can see though the disguise with a glance, but she's convinced she's incognito.

Don Paolo

Inspector Chelmey

A member of the police force, Inspector Chelmey is uncompromising and stubborn. While short tempered, his skill as a lawman is unrivaled, and he is feared by criminals all over the London area.

The Laytonmobile sports an unusually high ceiling that lets the professor take to the road without removing his top hat. Thanks to his careful maintenance, the car is always in tip-top shape.

Franco

He works the drawbridge that links St. Mystere to the outside world. As Franco's portly form would suggest, though, he often ducks out of work to loaf at the town restaurant.

Stachenscarfen

Ah, yes, the mysterious Mr. Stachenscarfen. In a town full of mysteries, few stand out as class-A enigmas the way this mustached man does. Where did he come from? And where is he going? That, no one can say.

Ingrid

Though employed by the Reinhold family, Ramon prefers playing hooky at the town restaurant to actually working. Most people in town know Ramon as "that man with the creepy purple lips."

The oldest of Bruno's robots, Matthew has faithfully served the Reinholds as their butler for many years. Perhaps because of his kind nature, however, he often gets the brunt of Lady Dahlia's bossiness.

Lady Dahlia

Lady Dahlia is a robot created to be the mirror image of Flora's mother, Violet. She's bossy and haughty, but she also has a hidden sweetness that shows itself when she deals with Flora.

Beatrice

Beatrice manages the town's only inn. She's a kind lady, but she tends to fall head over heels for every man she meets. She claims she's outgrown her wild man-chasing, but robots don't really grow. Mothers, hide your sons!

Pauly

Pauly can often be seen outside the restaurant, fist raise high in the air now and then he runs out of steam, but for the most part, he's a regular volcano.

Crouton

Lucy

In a village filled with oddballs, Lucy stands out for how normal she is. Despite her grandfather Archibald's attempts to spoil her, she remains mature, honest, and smart as a whip.

Zappone

Zappone claims to be a detective and is elated to meet a fellow sleuth like Layton. He also claims to have the inside scoop, but he's really just clueless. What was Bruno thinking when he built this oddball?

Jarvis

Jarvis sits high on a hill in the village, pondering all manner of deep and important thoughts. He knows much about the town, but he's too preoccupied with his own thoughts to share them. He is friends with Ramon.

Pavel

Intrepid adventurer that he is, Pavel has the most unfortunate sense of direction. He had planned to make his way to America but ended up in St. Mystere somehow. The real mystery is how he travels so lightly.
