Captain Mitchell Miller is a soldier stationed on Outpost Black Out as its head guard, voiced by Blankslate.
Personality
Miller is a despicable, angry old man who projects his insecurities onto the other soldiers stationed on Outpost Black Out. His rude behavior is likely due to his participation in the Invasion War. He regards women as beneath him, making snide comments at Sarah's expense in Wish. Because of this, the soldiers he works with do not like nor respect him and barely tolerate him.
Role in Plot
Events of Season 1
In Wish, Miller chastises Sarah Daws for being unable to fix his destroyed Mongoose until Geff Rodrigo comes in and asks while restating Sarah's reasoning. Miller's acknowledgement of this led Sarah to storm out of the room, followed by an also-present Nicole Vega and Geff. Miller simply grumbles about his dislike for his own platoon on Outpost Black Out. Later, in HQ, Miller dismisses Geff's attempts to call HQ. Sometime after that, in Fax, Miller asks Sarah if the faxes from HQ had arrived. Without answering him, Sarah storms off as Nicole follows away from Miller.
The next day, in Machine, Miller admires his newly-repaired mongoose before Geff approaches him to ask about their job status. After Miller rejects Geff, a large crate falls and crushes the mongoose much to Miller's dismay. Sarah reveals she had been the one to order a robot who later introduces itself. Miller dismisses it immediately, calling it a "bucket of bolts" before being attacked by the robot. Watching him get beaten by the robot, Geff calls for Nicole to save Miller from it, to which she arrives and manages to deactivate it. Miller then reluctantly thanks Nicole before June Vega wakes up and notices the chaos, deciding to walk away from it rather than ask questions. Shortly after, in Replacement, Miller enters where his subordinates are on break before chastising them about not working. Due to a rude back and forth of insults with Nicole and Sarah, Miller storms off specifically by being questioned about what he's done for humanity since the Invasion War.
Later, in Dysfunction, he yells at June Vega in an attempt to communicate with her before growing impatient and storming off after ignoring her helmet being broken. Sometime after, in Invader, Miller holds a meeting after the alarms around the outpost go off upon a detected intruder. After a back and forth between himself and the guards, Miller orders either Nicole, Sarah, or Geff to make the call to HQ to report it after claiming they don't respect him as his excuse for not making the call himself. When both Geff and Nicole decline, Sarah begrudgingly agrees to make the call though their commander Ignacio Dominguez dismisses the incident as a glitch. As a result, Miller ends the meeting and returns to patrolling.
Relationships
Geff
Miller tries to mentor Geff in his own, demented way, though Geff is unaware. Despite this, Geff is Miller's favorite based purely on the fact he is a man as shown by him acknowledging Geff's statements about his Mongoose even though Sarah had said the same thing just moments before in Wish.
Sarah
Miller does not respect Sarah's intelligence and questions her status in the military to begin with just for being a woman. In Wish, Miller annoys Sarah to the point of the latter storming off, leading Miller to call her a "primadonna." Miller also applies Sarah's successes to Geff Rodrigo, also seen in Wish.
Nicole
While certainly not fond of her, Miller seems to at least respect Nicole as he doesn't insult her as he does Sarah in Wish and in Machine he thanks her for saving him from the malfunctioning repair robot rather than apply credit to Geff.
Trivia
- According to June in Wish, Miller has a fascination with bagels.
- Syp The Mighty had been wanting to recast Miller since the production of Classic Season 2 wrapped, with Revoltge initially vetoing it. Syp would ultimately get her wish during the production of Replacement, casting Blankslate in her place. Blankslate will additionally re-dub its first four episodes for the season's At The Movies re-release, as Syp felt his performance was better suited for the character overall.
