| ~ Quercus Alba in Turnabout Ablaze. |
Quercus Alba is the main antagonist of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. He made his debut appearance in Turnabout Ablaze in his feeble persona as a kind and gentle ambassador. However, beneath the cloak of the feeble persona lies a corrupt smuggling leader who uses his position to advance his goal for profit. His smuggling ring scheme is the overarching plot of the entire game and the motives for almost every culprit of the game.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Succumbs to corruption of power and used his position to start a smuggling ring for the sake of quick cash.
- Willingly cripples Allebahst's and Zheng Fa's economy to further the goals for his smuggling ring for his own profit, causing a destabilization in both countries.
- Pretends to shift blame to himself for being an incompetent ambassador in order for people to not suspect him for any of his crimes which resulted in the problems of Codophia.
- Having people commit murder on those who prove to be a threat on the smuggling ring. These murders being:
- Manny Coachen killing Cece Yew when she tried to expose the smuggling ring plot.
- "Calisto Yew" becoming an insider of the Yatagarasu on the pretense that she was the sister of Cece Yew in order to keep tabs on their investigation. He also had "Calisto Yew" betray the Yatagarasu and kill Byrne Faraday when his actions became a threat to the smuggling ring.
- Mack Rell shooting Deid Mann to death after he was going to expose the smuggling ring plot, with Calisto killing both Faraday and Rell later on.
- Had Ernest hide the evidence of Cece Yew's murder to exonerate Manny Coachen.
- Had "Shih-Na" become an insider of Interpol to keep tabs on their investigation into the smuggling ring.
- Willingly allows his allies to be put behind bars if it means his smuggling ring won't put at any risk.
- Had Cammy Meele pilfer a statue from an art dealer from Borginia, also leading to the murder of Akbey Hicks when she murders him to prevent him from finding information about the smuggling ring.
- Had Jacques Portsman try to prevent Ernest Amano from being put behind bars in order to protect his role in the KG-8 Incident.
- He then later has Portsman attempt to steal the video tape of the KG-8 incident and the Yatagarasu card that Faraday had put into a case file years earlier, leading to Portsman also killing a man named Buddy Faith to do so.
- Willingly tries to sabotage the peaceful reunification between Allebahst and Babahl just so his smuggling ring can continue.
- Conspired with Manny Coachen to create counterfeit bills using plates stored inside the Babahlese Statue.
- Initiated a Yatagarasu media scare to frame a phantom suspect for the murder plot and lure Interpol for security detail, so Shih-na has an opportunity to perform her role in the murder.
- Killed Manny Coachen in revenge for his attempt at usurping the sway of affairs regarding the reunification of the country.
- Scared the spectators of the speech by creating a Yatagarasu symbol out of the statues when the spotlights came on. He did this just so he had more time to move the body.
- Made Shih-Na commit arson in the Babahlese Embassy to lure people into draining the pool water just so he had a passageway to covertly move Manny Coachen's body away from his embassy.
- It's suggested he invited Franziska von Karma to speak with him just to frame her for the crime he's about to commit.
- Bludgeons Mask Demasque II to death as revenge for agreeing with Coachen to help him usurp the sway of matter by swapping the 2 statues. He then uses the wound he received from Coachen and wiped his own blood on gardening sheers to claim self-defense.
- Uses his position as ambassador to invoke diplomatic immunity in order to escape justice of his crimes at any capacity.
- While he made have saved the royal Codophian family several times, he clearly is shown to care more about using the privilege they give him as gratitude for despicable purposes.
