Palaeno is 37 years old, 5'10 tall, tan skin, long golden hair, blue eyes but usually keeps them closed when in his usual state, only opening them and stop smiling when he's serious. Wears a white dress shirt under his green waistcoat, blue bowtie, golden butterfly pin on his lapel Palaeno is mostly a very honest and generous man (although he did sell the Babahlese statue to Zinc Lablanc, despite knowing that it was a fake). He is always eager to please others and was very cooperative in Edgeworth's investigation, and without any sort of ulterior motive. Though he comes across as irresponsible at times, as Manny Coachen took on nearly all of Palaeno's work, 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. He even pondered changing the name of the Primidux Statue to the Steel Samurai Statue and created an event called "Capture the Yatagarasu!" to help with tourism. Occasionally, his facial expression doesn't match his emotions. 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.
