It's weird to say to only look at it from Phoenix's perspective when you play in first person as Apollo in case 5 and
fight Phoenix in court. Something you've done before in AJ:AA where Phoenix is an enigmatic man who hides things even when
you play as him. You even get the chance to
tell Dhurke that no, he can't just appear and go on an adventure with you but as expected of a visual novel Trucy will railroad you back on path if you try. I mean the game is only called PW instead of AJ for marketing reasons iirc according to the localization team (it's just Gyakuten Saiban 6 in Japan).
In any case he's the most important character in the case and is made out to be flawed but trying to make it up to Apollo sort of but instead he's a complete fuck to him.
He fucked up Apollo's life, he abandoned him, he didn't so much as send a letter. Then he comes back into Apollo's life for the sole reason of handing him the hot mess that is Khurain and making him fix it, lying about everything throughout. And for this, Dhurke is considered a hero. I don't feel that Phoenix was impartial so much as relatively unimportant to the plot after day 2.
