Dear Rabbit: A BenBaro Fic Audiobook - The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
MostlyFrowns for Gallagher Knight
The man leading the Fox Collective (a play on Guy Fawkes. They are a small Professor-inspired revolutionary cell) is one Gallagher Knight, Irishman. His name is a play on “gelignite”-- the scientific term for blasting jelly. He is sometimes called Fox and other nicknames by his men. They know who he is and would rather die than give up his identity. He is the man who first attacks Barok post-Professor before he was involved with the Collective.
By day, he is a defense attorney who frequently butt heads with Klint when he was alive-- at least in public. He was born in 1851 in Ireland [TGAA age: 48], at the very end of the historically recorded Famine. He is a widow. His wife passed away a few months after childbirth and their son is developmentally delayed and cannot work, leaving Knight to support them both.
He has tried not to place blame on others (particularly the English and their aristocracy) for his strife. However, growing up amidst the horrors the Famine left has taken its toll. A more intimate relationship than thr public knew with Klint only made the Professor case more harrowing. He has Robin Hood-esque intentions, but his methods are proving to become stricter with time. His targeting of Barok is due to his belief that he killed Klint with the intent to use the following trial to become renowned. He has a philosophy that Nature is God's utmost tool.

(With growing firmness until the last line, which is soft.) "Have you seen what hunger does to people? Or what cold does to flesh? Have you ever watched a woman's skin go taut and tear from its owner's hands as she digs with them for the last crop of the harvest season-- too poor for tools, too weak for stones?... Have you ever seen your mother's hands be flayed?
(Full of love and admiration and tiredness.) "My son is slow, yes, but he is a trustworthy and hardworking man. That is more than most fathers can ask for. He want not the hedonism of the men I toil alongside in court and, God forgive, I fall prey to at times as well."
(Vitriolic.) "You've done nothing but turn London into a place to fear the shadowed place. I have been mistaken and that is my only crime. You are no Reaper-- you are nothing but a scared little boy."
