After many years in the Roughs, an enduring hatred for the city of Elendel and its leaders grew within Miles.{{book ref|mb4|15}} Early in life, this did not bother him as much. However, as time went on, Miles became more and more disillusioned by his role and the things he saw every day as a lawman. He began to believe the City had betrayed him{{book ref|mb4|8}} and slowly grew bitter at the injustices he felt that he faced. He has come to believe that there is nothing truly sacred about the law, it is merely a tool of the wealthy to maintain their power and influence.{{book ref|mb4|15}} He hates that he used to allow others to make rules for him. Miles will occasionally burn gold so that he can view the lawman he used to be and the criminal he is now. Although he finds it disturbing how much the two hate one another, he believes that this practice is good for him. Miles thinks this allows him to combine something of what he was and something of what he is into a new alloy of himself.
Miles is a complex man, but his personality is dominated by one desire, vengeance on Elendel.{{book ref|mb4|15}} Miles' real issue is a rage that he sometimes has difficulty controlling. Typically, Miles has a careful crafty mind with a flair for the dramatic that can be easily seen in the Vanishers.{{book ref|mb4|11}} He can methodically pursue a goal without letting it cloud his vision. The one exception is when Miles loses control of his temper, as is often seen with Waxillium or when he thinks too much about the the behavior of the wealthy.{{book ref|mb4|15}} It is quite possible he was also being influenced by something. {{wob ref|1019}}
