Devon Miles
Devon Miles was the sophisticated and authoritative director of the Foundation for Law and Government who served as the primary mentor and handler for Michael Knight.
Role and Responsibilities
Devon Miles served as the public face and administrative head of the Foundation for Law and Government, an organisation established by the late billionaire Wilton Knight. Operating from a position of quiet authority, Miles was responsible for overseeing the mission objectives of Michael Knight and ensuring the operational readiness of KITT. His role required him to balance the Foundation's complex legal and logistical requirements while managing the often unpredictable nature of his field agents.
Relationship with the Team
Throughout his tenure, Miles acted as a stabilising influence on the team, frequently liaising with government officials and law enforcement agencies to maintain the Foundation's autonomy. He maintained a close professional relationship with the technical staff, including Bonnie Barstow and April Curtis, whose engineering expertise kept the high-tech automobile functioning in the field. Despite his formal demeanour and British reserve, Miles was deeply committed to the Foundation's mission of upholding justice for those who could not protect themselves.
