"My man! We in this together, baby, to the end, for always and forever."
― Miles

Miles is Torque's closest friend and proprietor of "The Underground", a bar in Baltimore. He is one of the only few people Torque talks to throughout the game. He seems determined to find out the identity of Blackmore and bring him down. Carmen describes him in her diary as a smart man with good intentions, but one who always gets into trouble and brings Torque down with him.

WARNING: Spoilers

He was set up by Blackmore, along with Torque, for a murder at his bar and sent to Eastern Baltimore Correctional Facility. There they are attacked by Blackmore's thugs, eventually the thugs retreating as a riot breaks out inside the penitentiary. During the riot, the two are separated and Torque will be attacked again by thugs but succceed in taking them out.

As Torque returns to Baltimore after escaping from Carnate Island, Dr. Killjoy advices him to find his friend Miles as he knows the location of Blackmore. Not too long after that Torque and Miles see each other, although Miles is a few steps ahead of Torque and the two are always prevented from actually meeting up. After travelling separated through the ravaged city, the two apparently are about to meet at the exit of the Canals, only for Miles to be attacked by Copperfield and disappear. It later transpires that Miles survived the attack, as he radios Torque after he enters Eastern Baltimore Correctional Facility. It appears that Miles is onto some news he wants to share with Torque when they finally succeed in finding each other.

Torque ultimately meets Miles later in the cellblocks only to black out and wake up to find Miles dead. It is suggested that Torque killed Miles while being controlled by Blackmore just as Miles was about to reveal to Torque the truth he found out about Blackmore.

END OF SPOILERS

He was voiced by Arif S. Kinchen.

Dr. Killjoy's Entry

"Physical insecurity. This is Miles' true Achilles' heel, at least mentally speaking. He has overcompensated by becoming the man who has all the answers, always on the inside, aware of every machination going on around him. But to survive in the harsh life to which he was born, Miles must ally himself with someone with a stronger physical presence, and for years that person has been Torque. They have been the closest of friends for more than a decade, Miles able to come up with the plans and Torque able to execute them. They have managed to stay on the right side of the law while struggling to claw their way out of poverty they were both born into. The only time the pair ran afoul of law enforcement was when they fell right into one of Blackmore's schemes; while in Miles' drinking establishment, Torque was tricked into a fight which ended in a man's death, and both Miles and Torque were sent to prison because of it. Miles has sworn that they will not be tricked again, and it's because of that incident that Miles hates Blackmore more than Torque does."
