Damon Gant, Chief of the MPD who knows the Director of Public Prosecutors Office, boss of Miles Edgeworth, very well.

Larry, who's been working in the syndicate for almost as long as Phoenix. He's not in as deep as Phoenix, though, and thus also gets more freedom. Currently in the process of scamming Edgeworth via email, which started almost as an innocent prank on Edgeworth's Steel Samurai forum, but Edgeworth is dishing out real money, purely out of solidarity for a "fellow Steel Samurai fan". Eventually, it starts to break Larry's heart a bit

Maya Fey, whom Phoenix saved in an incident involving the death of her elder sister Mia. A variant of Turnabout Sisters, where Phoenix is not yet studying law, doesn't have the means to save Maya in court. Bargaining with the syndicate gets Phoenix involved deeper and deeper in their circles, while Mia's case gets covered up and goes cold. Now 15 years later, Maya really wishes she could save Phoenix somehow.

Maya and Nick live together. At home, Phoenix is in Beanix mode. At work, he shaves and looks and smells good. Apollo doesn't want to know the kind of things Phoenix does. He doesn't count Phoenix's scars but he likes touching them, and Phoenix lets him.

The childhood friendship between Larry, Phoenix and Miles is unchanged, and so is the class trial episode and its impact on Phoenix, but they drifted apart after Phoenix got into trouble. Phoenix no longer feels worthy to see Miles.

Phoenix and Apollo have a situationship ever since working on the heist together, but Phoenix hasn't gotten over Miles and Apollo knows. Provoking Phoenix with a "I'll tell him" once, gets him Phoenix's pistol in his mouth before a grin and a "just kidding, it's not loaded." He doesn't try again. He never tells Miles. He himself doesn't know how he feels about Phoenix half of the time. Does he want to save this guy or punch him?

Phoenix drops by sometimes to see Apollo at work, both to signal to him where to meet for "work", and to tease him.

Apollo knows Miles from mere interactions at the bank... Because Miles Edgeworth drops by the front desk of the bank an unreasonable amount of times, even? One day, Apollo begrudgingly helps Larry set up an account for a fake identity, and barely an hour later, Miles comes to make a transfer to that very account, and he's horrified because my god Larry the grunt from my neighbourhood crime syndicate is scamming the district chief prosecutor. and now he helped him do that. jesus fuck

No matter how you think about it, you don't need to come in person that often to get money out, or make a transfer, or what not. Apollo has the gnawing sensation that Miles is here in the hope of finding someone or watching out for something.

Apollo suspects that there are more people in the bank who are involved in the syndicate and the heist, but he doesn't know why or who. Phoenix won't tell him.

There are also rumours, according to Miles, that the police is cracking down on the syndicate of the district and soon enough, they should feel the pressure. Something is brewing. Apollo doesn't like where he and Phoenix are placed in this picture.
