Miles Lanier (pronounced "Luh-neer") is the head of Corporate Security for Novatech (as well as personal security for Novatech executives) and was the former head of Fuchi Internal Security. He is considered by many to be one of the best in the business and the right-hand man of Richard Villiers. He is in his mid-forties (as of 2060), but he has a youthful appearance that gives him the look of someone in his thirties. He's taller than average, with a slight build and chestnut hair. He has dark brown eyes, and he never seems to blink. He has a cold and harsh personality, rarely smiling or laughing, and he is known to be a keen observer.
