Devon Miles' great grand father was from the county of Argyle in Schotland. Raised in Englad, the son of Cedric Miles annoyed his nanny by playing cricket as early as during his kindergarten years. Eventually he was awarded several throphys for the sport. As a boy Devon made quite a name for himself racing motorcycles in the Tourist Trophy races. He made sure to finish each race, but unfortunately did not win any prices in these events. During World War Two, young Miles joined the RAF where he put his motorcycle skills to good use. Serving under Commander Smythe, Devon became an Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) operative and went undercover in occupied France, posing as 'Valentino the knife thrower' as part of Gunther Major's circus for three months.During the war Devon met the love of his life but eventually had to realize their lives were moving in two different directions. Another prominent lover (or possible the same) was Amelia Clermot. The most inquisitive women he'd ever met, they saw each other only from time to time until eventually she married someone else. As a close friend and business partner of Wilton Knight, Wilton's ex-wife Elizabeth once hinted at the presence of romantic tension between Devon and herself. However, Miles himself neither confirmed nor denied this.Devon Miles helped Wilton Knight in setting up his dream project, The Foundation for Law and Government, also know as FLAG. Together with Knight, Miles oversaw the creation of K.A.R.R. and K.I.T.T. (2000) by by the original design team consisting of Dr. Von Voorman, Dr Breland and Dr. Numata. After the murder of FLAG driver Ken Franklin, Knight picked up the mortally wounded police officer Michael Long and remade him in the image of his estranged son Garth. Miles oversaw the extensive plastic surgery performed by Dr. Ralph Wesley and was the one to introduce Michael Knight (New indentity of Michael Long) to K.I.T.T.After Wilton Knights' passing, Miles became the director of FLAG, although he still had to answer to the Foundation's board of directors. He hired Dr. Bonnie Barstow to serve as K.I.T.T.'s personal mechanic and devided his time between FLAG headquarters and the mobile command center set up in the Foundation's semi. Although his working relationship with Michael Knight got of to a rocky start, the two eventualy learned to respect and trust each other deeply. Show less «
