He can also play the piano and organ, ride and fence. He is professor of archeology at London's Gressenheller University. He is known throughout London and the world for his ingenuity.

Luke Triton

Luke Triton (ル ー ク ト ラ イ ト ン Rūku Toraiton) is a boy who accompanies Professor Layton. He strives to become a gentleman like the professor. He loves puzzles, animals, food and the color blue. Luke is also able to understand animals, which comes in handy in the adventures with Layton. He is 13 years old (In the game Professor Layton and the Call of the Phantom , which takes place three years before the first trilogy, it is mentioned that he is 10, so his age in the first trilogy is 13). His character is voiced by Sophia Längert and dubbed in the English version by the same speaker as Flora.

Flora Reinhold

Flora Reinhold (ア ロ マ ラ イ ン フ ォ ー ド Aroma Rainfōdo, Aroma Reinford in the Japanese version) is the daughter of the wealthy Augustus Reinhold. She is shy and reserved.

The professor cleared up this case, however, and rejected Emmy's guilt.

Don Paolo

Don Paolo (ド ン ・ ポ ー ル Don Pōru, Don Paul) is the antagonist in the first trilogy. He's some kind of mad scientist who follows the professor in order to ruthlessly profit from his discoveries. He hates Professor Layton because he was once in love with the professor's late friend Claire, with whom, unlike Layton, he was unsuccessful. At that time his name was still Paul . In his atrocities, his extraordinary talent to pretend to be a different character and thus to deceive everyone, as well as a self-made flying machine, help him. However, Layton manages to expose him again and again. That there is also a good side in Don Paolo can be found in Professor Layton and the Lost Future , as he can also ally himself with his enemies in times of need.

Jean Descole / Desmond Locklair

Jean Descole (ジ ャ ン デ ス コ ー ル Jan Desukōru) is the antagonist in the second trilogy and in the feature film Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva .

As one learns in Professor Layton and the Legacy of Aslant , under the mask is actually Professor Desmond Locklair , a highly respected archaeologist with extensive knowledge of Aslantic artifacts. He accompanies Layton on the adventure of discovering the legacy of the Aslanti.
