Jim Miller is a criminal and businessman who has worked for Fredrick Butterscotch and owns Miller Ltd.

## Biography

Miller was born in Arizona, 1981, to Jim Miller, a former US Marine officer who now owns a successful ranch. Miller was home-schooled, but wasn't entirely satisfied with staying in rural Arizona his whole life, like his brother Alan wanted. So, when he turned 18 he left home to study business and economics in Massachusetts. He finished the course, but he hated his time there. He decided to move back West, this time to San Francisco, California, to work for a software company. He hated this job as well and really wasn't the urban lifestyle as much as he had hoped. He wasn't really suited to it as he's quite a low energy person and doesn't really fit in with everyone else.

Luckily for Miller, he would end up making significant amounts of money from investing in stocks. He used this money to invest in an industrial business in 2006, which owned a factory in nearby Los Angeles where he would move. This business was Miller Ltd., which was founded by Jim Miller. It had previously went bankrupt, but had been revived by a cousin of Jim. The business manufactured canned food and cigarettes. At this time, Miller also got married and had a child. Unfortunately for Miller, financial crisis struck in 2008. Miller lost everything and was bankrupted. Jim would be forced to try and get a job in a software company again, but because of his poor history and reputation in the industry, he couldn't find any good jobs and was stuck working for an obscure company which was barely surviving. This was a hard time for Jim, he was suffering from depression and had lost his willingness to take risks. He lived in a small, low quality house and ended up getting a divorce and losing custody of his child

Years of living in squalor meant that Jim eventually ended up feeling like he had nothing to lose, and the only thing that could inspire him was the story of his outlaw ancestor, Jim Miller. He became interested in crime and did not care that it was dangerous. His first crimes were low-level online scams that were hardly profitable at all, but things would eventually change.

In 2015, Miller would meet Fredrick Butterscotch at a bar. Butterscotch was a rapper, businessman and criminal that needed hired guns for his high value car selling operations, later heists and other jobs. Miller was in desperate need of a new lifestyle and money, while also being intelligent and determined so he seemed a perfect addition to the crew. He even had skill with firearms due to his childhood in Arizona. He almost too perfect, leading to suspicion that he was actually an FBI agent.

This was never the case, and Jim became a valuable associate of Fredrick. He was important for the business side of Fredrick's criminal empire, having an official position at his company, while also owning Miller Ltd., which had been revived again, this time as a subsidiary of Fredrick's company. Despite his corporate position, Jim would personally participate in heists set up by Fredrick. Jim would take special interest in the organisation's international arms trading operation, even supplying the PMC Vlad's Lads, who had an operation in Southeast Asia. He even met Vladimir Nikov in 2019 and instantly developed a rapport with him as it turns out they shared much in common, not limited to a distaste for the Russian Mafia. A sort of alliance would form between Vlad's Lads and the Butterscotch crime organisation because of this. As a part of this, the Butterscotch organisation would fight in a sort of war against a Russian PMC which rivalled Vlad's Lads and was affiliated with the Russian Mafia, with operations taking place in America.

Jim was still not personally satisfied though. He was incredibly rich, and even had lots of saved up money that no one knew about from cryptocurrency investments which had paid off. He figured that he would prefer to live a peaceful life in the countryside like his father and was considering retiring. However, he believed that Fredrick wouldn't let him (it is unclear whether or not this would've been true). His relationship with Fredrick on the surface didn't seem terrible, but deep down Jim was incredible resentful of Fredrick, seeing him as a pathetic, disgusting person that had no right being so powerful. He also had few allies in the Butterscotch organisation despite his high rank, because of his poor social skills and inability to fit in. All of this meant that in 2021, Jim would make the decision to talk to the Feds. It wasn't true, all those years ago, when Jim was accused of being a Fed, but it turned out that he was exactly the type of person to help the Feds anyway.

The Butterscotch criminal organisation was destroyed because over time by Jim's efforts, with it being totally finished off in 2022. Jim was put into witness protection in Wyoming, and once again, Miller Ltd. went bankrupt, but this time Jim was rich and seemingly safe. He could comfortably live the rest of his life in the countryside without ever working another day. However, Jim still wasn't satisfied. Maybe he would have been, if not for the fact that he was completely alone. His ex-wife had met up with him in 2020, and it looked like for a while that they would get back together, but after she found out about his criminal activities she left again, this time refusing to contact him again. After talking to the Feds, Jim would try to talk to her again, but she still wasn't interested. So, Jim is still depressed, and now he is completely alone.

Jim stayed in contact with Vlad, he was upfront with him about talking to the Feds and Vlad wasn't bothered because it didn't affect him and he knew that Jim had no motivation to betray Vlad even if he could. This is why in 2023, Vlad would contact Jim asking for help to track down his daughter when he arrived in America. Jim would leave witness protection in Wyoming and return to California to help his only friend. At this point, Jim had nothing left and felt the need to redeem himself, and so reuniting a father with his daughter seemed like the best way to do this. His technical skills would come in handy in the search for Vlad's daughter, but Vlad would prove to be an unpopular man in America and so Jim would need to use his combat skills as well.

## Personality

In many ways, Miller is a reincarnation of his ancestor, the businessman outlaw Jim Miller. Like him, he is a cynical, depressed man that doesn't feel right doing criminal acts. He likes to think of himself as a more refined gentleman than the other criminals he works with, and is often seen wearing traditional fine suits. He is often mocked by his friends for being like a man from a different century as he is very conservative and acts in many ways like he is older than he is. Much of this can be attributed to his rural upbringing, though he does indulge in modern conveniences like films, especially those including his favourite actor, Sean Bean. His haircut and moustache have also lead to him being compared to Adolf Hitler, though he stubbornly refuses to ever change his haircut.
