This is something that has been bugging me alot lately: after Manfred killed Gregory, he went to that "six months vacation". When he came back, he took in Miles.
So... Where were Miles on those "six months"?
On a foster house? With Grossberg, who knew Gregory more than everyone? And if he was with Grossberg, how Von Karma managed to became his tutor? :eh?: I can't remember any part of the game that they explained this.

Yeah, they really didn't explain it. ^_^;; Perhaps he was in foster care? Or maybe von Karma had sent Miles to his place before he went on vacation and had a nanny look after him or something like that?

Maybe he went to an orphanage, where von Karma later came back and "adopted" him?

that sounds like an idea for a fanfic. :U

why would von karma take in the child of a man he had killed?
also, why would a prosecutor take in a child who was interested in the defense?

Because Manfred is a wanker and wanted revenge on Gregory for ruining his perfect record.

You know, because killing Gregory wasn't revenge enough..

Hmm I can't actually explain what I need to say.

Oh well someone else will I'm sure.


But yeah I wish it had been explained properly... :yuusaku:

Maybe Von Karma wanted to turn Edgeworth over to the Dark Side :C

:karma: - Join me Edgeworth, and together we will rule the courtroom, and mentor and pupil...

:edgeworth: - I'll never join you, you killed my father!

:karma: - No Edgeworth I am your... Wait... No you're right... I did... D:

I have a guess on an answer to that question. Von Karma already knew what he did was wrong. He knew he killed Gregory. He didn't want Edgeworth to know. That would be why he'd take the son in. So that the son wouldn't suspect anything. Bear in mind Edgeworth was surprised in that case where his father died that he "thought he killed his father". Von Karma wants the "perfect record" and he wants to make sure he doesn't get caught (even though Gregory "damaged his perfect record"). What screwed up his plans was Phoenix's thinking. If he hadn't have discovered what Von Karma was doing, I'd bet Edgeworth wouldn't have suspected him. That's my guess at least. Is that what loobywright was thinking or is it something else?

If I were to guess where Edgeworth was...I'd guess he'd still be in England somewhere. Maybe with another relative? No clue really. That's anybody guess.

There's also the possibility that Manfred von Karma, who hated murderers and likely felt some serious cognitive dissonance there, took in Edgeworth as a way of rationalizing the murder. "The man was raising the boy to be a Defense Attorney. That's practically abuse." I wouldn't put it past von Karma to treat his murder of Gregory Edgeworth not as revenge, but as a just punishment, and his treatment of Edgeworth as a rescue.

Of course, that Edgeworth would never suspect his adoptive father would be a bonus. Either way, he'd probably have arranged for Edgeworth to be with him as soon as possible. If he waited six months, another family might take him in. So he'd have used his connections to secure the adoption and get Edgeworth into the care of his wife, and then return after his healing trip.

We can go further than that, even. Franziska's behavior suggests that she might have been neglected at times in favor of Edgeworth! It's possible that von Karma really did treat Edgeworth as a son, whatever that meant to him, until he lost his perfect record.
