Miles

Miles (マイルズ) was a Private First-Class from the Sacred Vollachia Empire's Imperial Army and a flying dragon rider who served Serena Dracroy. Though he did not appear in the main story, Miles played a minor supporting role in The Tale of the Scarlet Princess and antagonistic role in The Dream the Lion King Saw. During The Travelogue of the Finest, Miles's death at the hands of Reinhard van Astrea was the driving force for Balleroy Temeglyph's thirst for revenge on him.

Appearance

Miles had a wrinkled, unattractive rat-like face, grey hair, and jade-colored eyes. He wore the standard uniform for a member of the Imperial Army. While he was disguised as a merchant, he wore a white cloak.

Personality

Miles was an unscrupulous and vile man, who delighted in tormenting those he viewed as better than him. However, he had friendly relationships with those that he cared about, such as Balleroy Temegylph.

History

In the past, Miles, who was a subordinate of Serena Dracroy, visited an orphanage in Averyk, where he tied up the head of the orphanage and provided the children a chance to get payback on them by beating and kicking them. Two of the children that he met here were Flop and Medium O'Connell, who he ended up bringing back with him to the Dracroy Domain, and he became practically family to them and Balleroy.

The Tale of the Scarlet Princess

Some 7 years before the main story, Serena sent both Miles and Balleroy, who also served Serena, to the Pendleton Estate in order to invite Jorah Pendleton and his wife Priscilla Pendleton to the Gladiator Island Ginunhive. While they were there, the gladiators attempted to spark a revolution that would render the island independent from the mainland, which later ended up failing thanks to the intervention of the Imperial Army. Serena, Priscilla, Jorah, Balleroy, and Miles then went back to the Pendleton mansion after this incident.

The Dream the Lion King Saw

At some point, Miles was tasked with acquiring information on the Sacrament of the Immortal King,^[1] an ancient forbidden art that could potentially be used to revive the dead. To complete his mission, Miles posed as a merchant selling corpses to the head of House Argyle, Biehn, who possessed a monopolization on information pertaining to the practice of the spell that Miles sought.

Biehn sought to use the Sacrament of the Immortal King to revive his late wife, who he had killed in a fit of rage two years prior. Miles agreed to procure corpses for Biehn while secretly taking note of aspects of the spell. Ultimately, this plan was foiled when Crusch caught them in the act, forcing Miles and Biehn to kidnap her in the mansion's basement. Upon finding out about Crusch's kidnapping, the Royal Prince himself organized a raid on the Argyle mansion, led by himself, Ferris, and Julius Juukulius. The attack would later result in the deaths of Biehn Argyle and his maid, Hannah Regret.

After Crusch killed his undead bodyguards and nearly took his life at the same time, Miles, who had personally faced the Duchess, was gravely wounded. He managed to fake his death and flee through a secret passageway to where his Flying Dragon was hidden. Lamenting the fact he was returning empty-handed, grabbing a book of information compiled on the Sacrament of the Immortal King, Miles made his way back to the nearby border with the Empire of Vollachia,^[2] hoping to turn over what little information he had acquired to his superior, a General; however, this didn't last long, as he soon found Reinhard van Astrea standing behind him, on his flying dragon. When Miles refused to surrender and managed to throw the Sword Saint off, the knight took out both him and his dragon on the spot.

Abilities

Flying Dragon Rider: Miles was able to tame dragons and was skilled at it. He also taught Balleroy Temeglyph how to tame flying dragons.^[3] His dragon was named Gaius.

Trivia

• Miles's design in Ex Volume 5 is incorrectly drawn with blue eyes.
