'''Miles Dagouter''', also known as '''Miles Hundredlives''',{{book ref|mb4|10}} was the former lawman of [[True Madil]] in the [[Roughs]] of [[Scadrial]] and leader of the gang of thieves and kidnappers known as the [[Vanishers]].{{book ref|mb4|11}} Miles was determined to bring the government of the Elendel basin to its knees in his quest to get justice for its perceived mistreatment of the people of the Roughs. Miles is a [[Twinborn]], being a [[gold]] [[Misting]] (aka an [[Augur]]) as well as a gold [[Ferring]] (aka a [[Bloodmaker]]), which allows him to [[Compounding|compound]] and become nearly unkillable.
 
== Appearance & Personality ==
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}}

:''See Also:'' [[Hemalurgy]]
While Miles' metalminds may have taken the form of spikes piercing his form, it appears that he may have had at least one [[Hemalurgy|Hemalurgic spike]].{{bws ref|/annotation-the-alloy-of-law-chapter-fifteen/|Alloy of Law Annotation Chapter 15|date=November 30, 2015}} It is unknown what metal Miles is spiked with and what attributes it granted. Due to his last words,{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} it appears that Miles may be influenced by or have have some connection to the [[Shard]] [[Autonomy]] or its [[Avatar]] [[Trell (Trellism)|Trell]].{{wob ref|1019}} It is possible that the metal his Hemalurgic spike was made from is [[trellium]], the same metal that the rogue [[kandra]] [[Bleeder]] used for her spikes.{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}}

|Miles to Wax on his new philosophy{{book ref|mb4|13}}
}}
The Vanishers' theft of the Breaknaught went smoothly and without incident, although Miles deduced that Wax had hidden himself in the train car itself.{{book ref|mb4|17}} The Breaknaught was carried back to the Ironspine in Elendel on the Machine, Miles' barge with a crane. Miles brought the train car to the subterranean foundry, where he used the electric lift's engines and winch to pull off the door of the Breaknaught. When the door was ripped off, Miles found that Wax had attached dynamite to the inside of the door, which he detonated in an attempt to slow Miles and kill his men. Miles and his men began to fire on Wax but were interrupted when Wayne and Marasi blew open the doors in the ceiling of the foundry leading the the lift, opening the lair to the outside. Miles and his men did their best to kill Wax and Wayne while Marasi fired down on them from above.
