Colias Palaeno is the Babahlese ambassador to the United States and a person of interest in the murder that occurred at his embassy. Palaeno is mostly a very honest and generous man. He is always eager to please others and is very cooperative in Edgeworth's investigation, and without any sort of ulterior motive.

Though he comes across as irresponsible at times, he truly is determined to seeing relations renewed between Allebahst and Babahl. He often tries to promote tourism of his country at every available opportunity by giving guests souvenirs and coupons. Despite his cheerful and flippant personality, he knows when he should be serious, and when discussing important matters, such as the murders that took place at his embassy, he wipes the perpetual grin off his face and speaks in a much more composed and reserved manner.

Saddened at the loss of his most trusted employee, Palaeno was eager to allow Interpol to investigate the crime scene. He gave the investigators whatever information they desired, until it was found that the murder weapon, an ornamental knife, came from the Allebahstian embassy, and that Coachen had been involved in a notorious international smuggling ring, possibly even being the leader. A betrayed Palaeno nonetheless found the strength to move forward with the investigation, and he convinced Alba to grant Interpol permission to investigate his office. Palaeno stayed behind with some of the group to investigate Coachen's crime scene further.

Following the reunion of Allebahst and Babahl into Cohdopia, Palaeno became the Cohdopian ambassador to the United States.
