Neville
Template:Portrait-infobox Neville, the Bookish Father (Japanese: パパーラ Papāra) is one of the Portrait Ghosts that Luigi encounters in Luigi's Mansion. He also is the husband of Lydia, and father of Chauncey and the twins Henry and Orville. His usual pastime activity seems to be reading books, and he is keeping a baby care diary.
At one point in the past he was captured by Professor Elvin Gadd and turned into a portrait, but Neville was eventually set free again by King Boo. His portrait number in Professor E. Gadd's gallery is 1.
Luigi's Mansion
In Luigi's Mansion, Neville is one of the ghosts belonging to Area 1 of the Mansion. Luigi can find him in the Study, where he is quietly reading a book while sitting in a rocking chair. The only offensive action he takes against Luigi is sending a single levitating book after him. Like most Portrait Ghosts, Neville cannot be stunned by the flashlight normally. However, he occasionally yawns and stretches, at which point he becomes vulnerable to light and can be stunned to be re-captured by the Poltergust 3000. Upon defeat, a treasure chest appears in the Study, containing the key to the Master Bedroom.
The player can also have Luigi read Neville's Big Baby Care Diary in the bookshelf behind Neville's rocking chair. The diary provides the player with hints on how to win Henry and Orville's game of hide and seek.
