Taylor Miles (Earth-4001)

Corporal Taylor Henry "Dutch" Miles (service number 21175-12121-TM) is an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. He served in Alpha-Nine, a squad led by Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck during the Battle of Earth.

History
The history of Dutch is the same as his mainstream counterpart up until the end of the Human-Covenant War in 2553 and in the post-war era.

Personality & Description
The second oldest member of Buck's squad at the time of the Battle of Earth, Dutch is good friends with the squad's marksman, Kojo Agu. He has extensive experience in close-quarters combat. Miles' last known place of residence is Paris Island on Mars, where he is also a citizen. His civilian occupation is listed as road train driver.

Though Miles takes his occupation and duty very seriously, he is characterized by boisterous remarks and quips during combat. Miles is religious, a world view he adopted during his studies in university, though he does not appear to take his faith with particular seriousness; he is known to occasionally "paraphrase" the Bible in a lighthearted manner.

Equipment
In accordance with his specialty, Dutch's BDU is optimized for close-quarters combat. He wears a specialized ODST-HS Combat Helmet, which is equipped with extra metallic reinforcement to protect from head trauma. Miles has the upper half of a jaw bone painted onto his helmet right below his visor, and a Jolly Roger on his chest plate, making him the only member of the squad with an emblem on his chest plate. He carries an M/LBE Hard Case backpack.
