Role in Plot

Events of Classic Season 1

Miller first appears in Something, asking June Vega why Geff Rodrigo is calling HQ. After a quick back and forth, Miller directs June to remind Sarah to receive a fax from HQ before being swiftly rebuffed. Later, in The Point, Miller chides Sarah Daws for failing to fix his Mongoose despite being the team engineer. Sometime after, in The Transfer, Geff informs Miller and Sarah about apparent applications to the SPARTAN-IV Program by inquiring about their interest in signing up for such a thing. Miller and Sarah agree, with Miller telling Geff to call HQ about applying. Later, Miller waited with Geff by the landing bay on Outpost Black Out as they awaited their transport. Suddenly, their pilot arrives.

Immediately after, in Infinity, Miller and Geff gather Sarah and June to board the transport when Nicole Vega suddenly rejoins the group after being forgotten by everyone. When they're all gathered in the transport, the guards soon realize their pilot has switched to someone else who dislikes them greatly. This new pilot would make a short stop on Outpost Rat's Nest, to which Miller complimented before being informed that this new pilot intended to destroy said outpost.

Miller makes a guest appearance in the final episode of WarGames, Ambush, where he criticizes Emery Eden for firing missiles toward Outpost High Ground. This leads Emery to insult and dismiss Miller.

Trivia

  • Miller was voiced by Chase Hobby in Classic Season 1 and the Sides episode Annoyances, then voiced by James Brown Jr. in Bagels, another Sides episode. In Classic Season 2 and the first four episodes of Season 1, he was voiced by Syp The Mighty. Since Replacement, the fifth episode of Season 1, he has been voiced by Blankslate.
    • 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 the season's earlier episodes for its At The Movies re-release, as Syp felt his performance was better suited for the character overall.
  • In The Point, Miller briefly mentions that he fought in the Invasion War.
  • In Clueless, Miller offhandedly mentions his deceased wife.
  • Miller is the only member of Outpost Black Out to not be depicted in the Halo 2 engine, with only his voice being heard in the flashback opening of Truth. This is due to Miller's unique armor configuration being unavailable in that game, as it was not introduced until its sequel and the main game the series uses, Halo 3.
  • Miller was originally planned to die for good in Truth, but Revoltge convinced Syp to keep him alive for Dare and beyond.
  • While Miller has his now-signature sniper rifle in his debut appearance, he uses a battle rifle in the following three episodes. He is seen with his sniper rifle again when the pelican flying him and the guards away from Outpost Black Out stops at Outpost Rat's Nest, though it's not explained how he regained it as he's seen with his battle rifle when he departed from the former. Regardless, Miller retained his sniper rifle in Annoyances and the rest of the series as his primary weapon.
  • Since Bagels, Miller has had a fascination with bagels, being mentioned again in Bitter and once more in Wish.
