Lore & Background
Miller is the colonel of the Rangers, a neutral peacekeeping force within the Moscow Metro. After the Polis governing council refuses to help Exhibition against the Dark Ones, Miller reveals his back-up plan: a missile silo known as D6 that could destroy the Dark Ones' hive in the Botanical Gardens. To find a way to D6, Miller tells Artyom to meet him at the Moscow State Library to search for a map. Miller accompanies Artyom on the surface, helping him escape mutants after Artyom finds the map. Following this, Miller recruits Artyom as a Ranger and joins an operation to locate and reactivate the D6 command center. After their success, Miller and Artyom climb Ostankino Tower to install a laser guidance system for the missiles.
