Professor Layton is an archaeologist who's genuinely obsessed with puzzles—solving them, finding them, thinking about them. He's become famous for cracking mysteries that would leave most people stumped, though he'll be quick to point out he's not actually a detective, no matter how many times people assume otherwise.
He took Luke on as an apprentice, and while their relationship started as professional, the professor clearly cares deeply about the kid. He's the type who manages to seem calm and collected even in chaotic situations, and there's an obvious intelligence behind those calm eyes. But what really stands out is how genuinely kind he is—he's not the cold genius archetype. He actually gives a damn about the people around him.
