Miles was one of two male tributes from District 6 who participated in the 50th Hunger Games.[1] He died on the first day of the games.
Biography[]
50th Hunger Games[]
After arriving in the Capitol, Miles had to shower with the other tributes. He couldn't breathe as he was asthmatic.[2]
Before the start of the games, the chariot carrying District 6 during the Tribute Parade was crashed into by that of District 12 after the horses were startled and bolted. When they arrived at training, they were bandaged up in a lot of gauze. Miles and the others from his district hesitated to join the Newcomers, an alliance between District 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12 tributes in an attempt to counter the Career pack. They are finally persuaded to ally with the Newcomers by Haymitch Abernathy after being bullied by the Careers at lunch. His token was a tin train whistle.[3]
Miles died in the initial bloodbath.[2]
Physical appearance[]
Like the others in his district, he had rickety limbs and looked like he'd never seen daylight.
Miles, along with the other three tributes from District 6, wore "iridescent gray coveralls with wheel-shaped crowns" during the chariot rides.[4]
Etymology[]
"Miles" directly references travel distance.
Trivia[]
- Haymitch describes Miles as asthmatic, insinuating that he could have the condition.
