- — Nigel to Professor Layton and Luke Triton, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
Nigel is a character appearing in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. He is the butler of the Herzen family and good friend of Anton. After the epidemic that struck Folsense years ago, he was the only servant who remained.
Appearance[]
Nigel is a pale-skinned man with blue hair that's slicked back, a pointy nose, thin eyebrows, and tapered ears, which (ironically) gives him the appearance of a vampire. He wears a pale green suit with dark blue lapels over a white shirt and an orange bowtie tucked underneath the shirt's collar. He also wears round glasses and blue shoes with white soles.
Puzzles[]
Nigel, during the escape of Herzen Castle, gives Professor Layton and Luke the puzzle "The Hidden Door".
Profile[]
- US Version
Though sinister looking, the Herzen family's butler is actually quite kind. With no other servants currently employed in the castle, Nigel is constantly busy. In his spare time, he unwinds by scrubbing the castle's bathtubs.

Trivia[]
There seems to be a mistake in Diabolical Box; it's believed Nigel was one of the few real people in Folsense, yet he was nowhere to be seen when Anton's castle collapsed. In the last image in the credits, however, he's seen as an old man talking to Anton. It's possible Nigel was in Dropstone growing old all along, and the Nigel serving Anton at the castle was just another hallucination. It could also be possible Nigel left the castle for some reason between his encounter with Layton and Luke and the castle's collapse.
