}}
He has a calm, smooth voice and a haughty demeanor, particularly for a darkeyes.{{book ref|sa2|48}} He is cold and calculating, and looks out only for himself, even killing his own brother over an attempted scam.{{book ref|sa2|48}}
He and his associates wear Veden clothing from a bygone era, including the traditional [[ulatu]].{{book ref|sa2|48}} His illicit activities presumably make him wealthier than most darkeyes, and he owns at least one [[chull]]-drawn carriage.{{book ref|sa2|48}}
==History==
Around the year {{Rosharan date|1170}}, Mill allowed [[Jushu Davar]] to fraternize with his crew for a time while Jushu ran up a huge gambling debt of nearly one hundred emerald [[broam]]s.{{book ref|sa2|48}} Jushu promised that his father would cover his debts, and when Mill decided to collect, he took Jushu captive and went to the [[House Davar|Davar estate]]. [[Lin Davar]] exhibited no sympathy for Jushu and declined to bail him out of his gambling debts.{{book ref|sa2|48}}
[[Shallan]] was extremely upset by Lin's reaction, but she discovered that the family was broke and had no way to cover the debt.{{book ref|sa2|48}} She asked [[Balat]] and [[Wikim]] to give her their valuable ceremonial knives, then chased down Mill, who had already severely beaten Jushu before binding him and forcing him to walk behind his carriage.{{book ref|sa2|48}} Shallan offered Mill the knives along with her [[aluminum]] necklace in exchange for Jushu's freedom. Mill told her that her offering was only worth about fifty emerald broams and that killing a [[lighteyes]] such as Jushu had value to him since it would set an example for his other bettors.{{book ref|sa2|48}} Shallan correctly ascertained that Mill himself was not a gambler; she argued that Jushu's death might not benefit Mill as much as he believed, while the knives and necklace had clear material value.{{book ref|sa2|48}} Mill continued to waver until Shallan told him that Jushu comforted her after [[Shallan's mother|her mother's]] murder.{{book ref|sa2|48}} Mill finally softened and took the knives as payment. He allowed Shallan to keep her necklace.{{book ref|sa2|48}}
