Miles was born to the relatively wealthy Myrtinaster of Dragulae. From a young age, he wanted to live amongst the rich and powerful people that his family could only occasionally associate with. The life of a Courtier became his dream, and becoming a Blood Donor was the key. Trying to find his place in court, Miles spent his first few years training as a bard. His talents never developed enough to offset his lack of magical ability. He eventually discovered his aptitude was more in the shadows. For a time he acted as an informant to his master's court, quietly eavesdropping at parties and gatherings. He learned so much about the world this way, and ultimately decided he wanted to see if for himself. He trained in weapon skills at the local docks. Many sailors were master swordsmen, as pirates are a major treat. This allowed him to train without the assistance of the military or estate guards, preserving a little bit of his anonymity. Despite picking up a sailor's dialect, he actually hates to sail and gets sea sick. He has been using his skills of stealth and acrobatics however he can to make a living, and finds adventuring appeals to him.
