Clive Dove from Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Clive (voiced in Japanese by Yuri Lowenthal and in English by Shun Oguri) is the main antagonist of the video game Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.

He pretended to be a future version of Hershel Layton’s apprentice, Luke Triton, in order to make it seem like there really were time shenanigans going on, to trick them.

Due to his appearance faking, he mostly just looks like an older Luke, with similar light brown hair, and a blue newsboy cap. He wears a white button up shirt with a grey-brown vest and blue tie over top, a light blue suit jacket, brown shorts, dark blue tube socks, and brownish-black buckled shoes.

Emmy Altava from Professor Layton

Before Luke Triton, Professor Hershel Layton had another assistant: Emmy Altava. This ambitious young woman accompanied the puzzle-solving gentleman during the events of prequel games set three years prior to Luke’s adventures with Layton. Although Emmy’s loyalty to the professor was tested during her final appearance in the series, she’s aided him many times with her martial arts prowess and investigative skills.

Luke Triton is a fixture of the Professor Layton game series, always standing by the eponymous professor’s side as he leaves no puzzle unsolved! As Professor Layton’s self-proclaimed apprentice, young Luke dives deep into learning about detective work and what it means to be a true gentleman. Luke’s outfit from the first trilogy of Layton mysteries emphasizes his youthfulness, with drooping suspenders and a retro newsboy cap. The addition of a crossbody bag makes this costume especially convention-friendly!
