You may be looking for Ernest,a minor character in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.
Ernest Greeves is a character in Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy. He is an assistant of Katrielle Layton who keeps the agency in tip-top shape and heeds Katrielle's every beck and call. He has a massive crush on Katrielle. Ernest is also known for solving puzzles and being somewhat of an academic, attending one of the top universities in England on a scholarship.
Plot
Ernest first met Katrielle after he was wrongly accused of stealing research of a world-renown professor, Dr. Gene Ohm. He was being questioned by Inspector Hastings when Katrielle promptly barged in on the interrogation and stood up to the Inspector for him. After learning that Ernest was a first year at Gressenheller University, she accompanied him back to Gressenheller to prove Greeves' innocence and also knock out a bit of business she had at the school. After retracing Ernest's clumsy steps through goat poo, rosebushes, and a stroke of bad luck, Katrielle was able to piece together that Ernest was innocent- Dr. Ohm hadn't been able to finish his research, fed it to the goats, and then pinned the blame on Ernest. After Katrielle managed to clear his name, Ernest begged to be her assistant, hoping to repay her somehow.
Ernest is actually Miles Richmond, the grandson of Lord Richmond. Before his death, Lord Richmond had found a large stash of diamonds, but knew that it would be used to repay his many debts. He relinquished the diamonds to the Seven Dragons of London in the hopes that the wealth could be used by the city and his descendants. After the lord died, Miles mistakenly believed that the Seven Dragons had stolen the Richmond diamonds rather than received them. He swore revenge on the Seven Dragons following the death of his mother (who died when he was twelve). Miles took the name Ernest Greeves and went on to study at Gressenheller University and work as Katrielle's assistant. Part of his revenge plan was to disguise himself as a mysterious Lord Adamas and host a puzzle game for the Seven Dragons and Katrielle at the Richmond Manor, intending to trick the Seven out of their money and regain what he had lost. However, the Seven explained that the money was Miles' to use for the good of the city. After the events at the manor, Miles continued to work under Katrielle using the name Ernest.
