History
Background
Throughout The Series
Season 1
Miles was first seen in First, the Weather Changed when he was put onto Snowpiercer alongside his family. His mother hid him so that he could live. After the Tail formed, Josie Wellstead and the rest of the Tail raised him after Miles' family was slaughtered during the boarding.
In Prepare to Brace, Miles is selected for the apprenticeship he was after.
In Access Is Power, Andre Layton finds a bag of Miles' hair at the front of the train and becomes angry until Melanie Cavill simply explains that they gave Miles a haircut when he got his apprenticeship. Layton is allowed to see Miles and becomes emotional at how well the young boy is doing and the new life he is enjoying. Miles promises Layton that he's keeping an eye out and Layton later tells Josie about how well Miles is doing.
In Trouble Comes Sideways, Miles is in class when Melanie visits to get Boki's help in fixing the train. Melanie checks in on some equations she gave to Miles to complete which he states he prefers working on alone. After checking them, Melanie jokes that maybe Miles should be teaching her instead before leaving. Melanie later calls Miles into her office and gives him a caliper Mr. Wilford had given her, something that every engineer needs. Melanie tells Miles that there is something that Mr. Wilford needs from him.
In The Universe Is Indifferent, Miles is announced to be a new Engineer by Melanie Cavill during morning announcements replacing the man who died fixing the train the day before. He was later poisoned with a tangerine by Josie Wellstead for him to be updated on the rebellion and Miles promises to do his part when the time comes. After Josie's death, he was taken by Melanie to the Engine Room, apparently unaware that Josie was dead. Melanie assured him and herself that what they did as Engineers was for the greater good of the survival of the human race.
