Captain Miles

Personality
Although nameless when he first appeared, Captain Miles took the tickets for Me’ma and her party to board the steamship. In the novel The Goodbye Family he is greeted by Otis who finds him intoxicated along with the rest of the town. Miles lives in a house made entirely out of chewed off fingernails. He is mentioned speaking to Hollis Sorrow and Madeline Sage in Me’ma and the Great Mountain as they are trying to board the steamship but is not labeled in his first comic appearance. In Down West his name and image appear together.
