Age: 38

Physical Description: Red hair, turning sandy. Six foot two but stoops slightly, so he seems smaller. When he first met the other characters he was overweight and looked a bit like the wild man from Borneo thanks to his shaggy hair, beard and moustache. Now makes a conscious effort to take more care with his appearance. His eyes alternate between green and greeny-brown depending on his mood. His skin has that typical redhead fairness that burns if he's out in the sun.

Personality: As a young man Miles believed the world could be a better place if people just loved each other. Over the years in his job as a Doctor he saw so much death happening indiscriminately to the young, beautiful, old and ugly that he has lost this belief. The death of his long time lover and husband, Darren, was the final straw. Darren had been everything Miles is not. Cheerful, happy, positive, enthusiastic for life. Since his death, Miles has become even more withdrawn and abrasive although since meeting the paramedic, Carter (Gil) Gillespie, he has started to come out of his shell. He has a cynical sense of humor which makes him one of the few people who genuinely likes Flynn.

History: Miles is Australian. The only son of loving parents who accepted his sexuality as did his sister, Siobahn. At school and college he was a rugby union fanatic, eventually playing first grade, however he had to keep his sexuality hidden from his teammates. He met Darren, the love of his life when their families were staying at a resort in Fiji. The young teenagers found they had two major things in common, both wanted to become Doctors and join Medecins sans Frontieres and they were gay. Even though they lived on different continents, they kept in touch over the years eventually meeting up in the Somalia and later, Iraq and Afghanistan. Along the way, Darren discovered he'd contracted HIV/AIDS. Realizing he needed more care, the couple returned to Darren’s hometown Burlington, Vermont where they married in 2001. After Darren’s death, Miles tossed up returning to Australia to live but eventually decided to stay in the US as that way he felt closer to Darren. Employed as the town Doctor in Haven Falls, through a chance encounter with a small mutt who had dug up a dismembered hand, Miles became involved in Flynn Archer’s problems. He eventually adopted the dog, who he called Roofie and, with Gil, was able to keep Flynn alive after his fatal encounter with Vale.
