Miles Lewis was a brother-in-arms with whom he had faced life and death. In their youth, they had conquered the world together.
When the Hawthorne family later rose to prominence, he never forgot the brothers who had been through life and death with him. Miles Lewis was one of them.
He helped the Lewis family get on its feet. But Miles Lewis himself developed a gambling addiction and was arrested several times; on each occasion, it was the Hawthorne family who spent money and pulled strings to bail him out.
