During Ex4, Miles' death was the driving force for Balleroy Temeglyph's thirst for revenge on Reinhard.

He was disintegrated along with his Winged Dragon by Reinhard van Astrea, at the end of the novel.

History
Miles was an operative of the Vollachia Empire, a nation located to the south of the Kingdom of Lugnica. At some point, he was tasked with acquiring information on the "Sacrament of the Immortal King," an ancient spell that could potential used to revive the dead. To complete his mission, Miles posed as a merchant selling corpses to Biehn Argyle. Biehn was the head of the House of Argyle, the noble household who possessed a monopolization on information pertaining to the practice of the spell Miles sought.

Biehn sought to use the Sacrament of the Immortal King to revive his late wife, who he had killed in a fit of rage two years prior. Miles agreed to procure corpses for Argyle while secretly taking note of aspects of the spell. Ultimately, this plan was foiled when Crusch caught them in the act, forcing Miles and Biehn to kidnap her in the mansion's basement. Upon finding out about Crusch's kidnapping, the Royal Prince himself organised a raid on the Argyle mansion, led by himself, Ferris and Jukius Juukulius. The attack would later result in the deaths of Biehn Argyle and his maid Hannah Regret.

After Crusch killed his undead bodyguards and nearly taking his life at the same time, Miles, who had personally faced the Duchess, was gravely wounded. He managed to fake his death and flee through a secret passageway to where his Winged Dragon was hidden. Lamenting the fact he was returning empty-handed, grabbing a book of information compiled on the Sacrament of the Immortal King, Miles made his way back to the nearby border with the Empire of Vollachia, hoping to turn over what little information he had acquired to his superiors, however, he thinking he was safe didn't last long, as he soon found Reinhard van Astrea standing behind him, on his Winged Dragon. When Miles refused to surrender and managed to throw the Sword Saint off, the knight vaporized both him and his dragon on the spot.
