Off the Island
Youth
 A young Miles attempts to stop hearing voices from the dead. ("Some Like It Hoth") |
As a child, Miles accompanied his mother Lara as she inspected an apartment in Encino, California with the building's landlord.
The landlord at first objected to Miles because the neighbors disliked
noise, but Lara assured him that Miles is quiet. She gave Miles a
quarter for the vending machine, but on the way there he sensed
something, causing him to walk toward another apartment. Finding a key,
he opened the door and walked inside. Several apartments down, Lara
heard her son calling for her, and rushed to the apartment where she
found him standing over a man's corpse. Miles claimed to hear the corpse talking.
 Miles, now a young adult, seeks the truth from his mother. ("Some Like It Hoth") |
Several
years later, a heavily pierced Miles visited his mother, who was
extremely sick and bedridden, and was losing her hair. While his mother
was happy to see him, she asked why he had come to visit, as he didn't
ever come to visit very often before, and he replied that he wanted
answers about the source of his powers and about his father. She
replied that his father kicked them out when Miles was just a baby, and
had forced them to leave. She didn't tell him explicitly about the
DHARMA Initiative or the Island, but she told Miles that his father had
been dead for a very long time and that his body was "somewhere [he]
could never go." ("Some Like It Hoth")
At some point, Miles said that he worked as a mechanic. ("The End")
Adulthood
 Miles invokes the spirit of Mrs. Gardner's grandson. ("Confirmed Dead") |
At
a later date Miles became a professional spiritualist, advertising his
services to people who wished to communicate with the dead.
Around the time that the supposed wreckage of Flight 815 was recovered, Miles was visiting the house of a woman named Mrs. Gardner in
Inglewood, California. Her grandson had been murdered and she wanted
his spirit exorcised from her house. Miles agreed to talk to the spirit
for a fee, and after he was paid $200 in advance, he entered the boy's former bedroom. There, using a ghostbuster device,
he appeared to talk to the spirit, and through it located a stash of
money and drugs which the boy had hidden in his room. He took the money
and left the drugs. He then went back to Mrs. Gardner, and refunded her
$100. ("Confirmed Dead")
 Naomi recruiting Miles to the freighter team ("Some Like It Hoth") |
Some time later, Miles met with Howard Gray.
Mr Gray hired Miles to contact his son, who died in a car accident.
Miles' job was to make sure that the son knew that Gray loved him.
Miles was apprehensive when he discovered that the son had been
cremated, and asked for a larger sum of money, which Gray readily
offered. Miles then appeared to contact the spirit of the son and
assured Gray that the son was aware of his love. ("Some Like It Hoth")
When Naomi Dorrit and Matthew Abaddon discussed his recruitment, Naomi disparagingly referred to him as a "ghostbuster". ("Confirmed Dead") Naomi approached Miles outside Gray's house and recruited him to work for Charles Widmore. After confirming his ability to gather information from acorpse, she told him that his services would be enlisted in locating a man on an island by communicating with the dead people who reside there. Miles was reluctant until Naomi offered him $1.6 million.
 Miles is warned by Bram and his men not to go to the Island. ("Some Like It Hoth") |
Later Miles was abducted off the street by a group of men in a van. Bramoffered Miles information on his father's whereabouts in exchange for not working for Charles Widmore.
Miles insisted that he was no longer interested in his father and that
they would have to pay him double to refuse Widmore's offer, a sum of
$3.2 million. Bram refused to pay him, saying, "All the money in the
world isn't going to fill that empty hole inside you." Miles was taken
aback at this statement, and his abductors tossed him from the van,
warning that he was playing on "the wrong team."
Just before leaving for the Kahana, Miles revisited Howard Gray and
returned his money. Miles revealed that he had lied to Gray; he had
been unable to make contact with Gray's son. The incredulous Gray asked
why Miles couldn't have just continued the lie, and Miles responded
that it wouldn't have been fair to the son, and tells the father he
should have professed his love to his son before his death. ("Some Like It Hoth")
Before the Kahana left port, Miles indicated that he knew Michael was using a false name without having previously met him. He then added that 80% of the people on the Kahana were lying about something. ("Meet Kevin Johnson")
