Billy is described as a 'partial success', in Murkoff's quest to find a perfect host who could manifest a sentient Walrider.who it would seem ended up being Miles. He is able to control it enough to set it on individual targets while using it to aid another's escape, and he does so without a life support system, in fact even getting up after being riddled with bullets immediately after becoming the host. Superior Successor: To Billy as the Walrider's host.Stepford Snarker: It's pretty clear his more snarky moments are a coping mechanism for all the insanity unfolding around him.Sole Survivor: Both him and Waylon survive the events of being in the asylum in there own unique ways.Sanity Slippage: Heavily implied as the game goes on, and it may be what makes him a good host for the Walrider at the end.(After letting Trager get crushed by the elevator): How to make Trager Juice: Step 1. Non-Action Snarker: Just read his notes.That doesn't stop him from having a short brawl with Trager. Non-Action Guy: The game makes it clear that Miles is not to fight the Variants. ![]() Meaningful Name: It's a pun on the phrase "miles upshore without a paddle".Oh, and he survives getting peppered with machine gun bullets, but this is thanks to the Walrider now inhabiting his body. He gets thrown through a glass window, breaks a couple of ribs, is blown through another window by an explosion, has two of his fingers crudely chopped off, plummets several feet twice within the span of a few minutes (the first time with no obvious ill effects), and gets beaten and thrown around like a ragdoll by the Walrider, which leaves him with a nasty limp. Made of Iron: The man survives a lot of physical damage.But more than anything, he wants to expose Murkoff's corruption and goes through absolute hell to do it. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While he doesn't have much to actually say aloud, it's clear from his notes and his aggressive slamming doors that he's a cynical, angry man who uses his bitterness to cope with the horrors he's forced to witness.Intrepid Reporter: The reason why he's there to begin with was because he got an email telling him of wrongdoing in the asylum.Hijacking Cthulhu: As shown in Whistleblower, it appears that he has taken complete control of the Walrider, using it on specific targets rather than everyone in sight who isn't Rudolf Wernicke as Billy had.Heroic Mime: Besides grunting, heavy breathing and the occasional scream, Miles does not actually speak, even when directly spoken to.Heroic Host: He seems to keep control over the Walrider to some degree after being possessed.Fragile Speedster: Most of the Variants are particularly strong, so the most Miles can do is run or hide.Fingore: As a result of Trager's Cold-Blooded Torture, he loses a finger on each hand.An invisible model ◊ does exist in order to avoid making the shadow headless. Oh, and seeing his character model ◊ is an Unreveal, since it's only seen in two occasions: when Chris Walker removes his head and when Trager stabs Miles and decapitates him as part of their One-Hit Kill. The closest you do to knowing what he looks like is seeing his shadow (which just gives an idea of his hair style) and seeing him-as-the-Walrider from a distance in Whistleblower. ![]()
