Miles is calm and collected, his time in the Marines made him a battle hardened soldier and his time as a officer of the Navy has taught him the delicacies of ship combat, the two fighting styles have merged well with him, making him use modified tactics for his engagements from both playbooks. Miles is a confidant leader, one who chooses to never forget his roots as a soldier, He uses the approach of i could destroy you but i chose to spare you as his way of keeping order on his ship. His strengths are his leadership, his skill in tactics and his quick thinking. His Flaws are his Pride, Stubbornness and over confidence Just like a marine He never retreats only tactically disengages only to come back again at a later time. it is also important to note Miles speaks his mind and his temper can get him into trouble every know and then.
