General Alex Miles (shortened as General Miles or Alex Miles) is a crucial character in Metroid Prime: Federation Force.
Description[]
Miles wears a specialized Galactic Federation Power Suit with the color scheme and details of Federation Formal Dress. Miles commands the Federation Force from aboard the G.F.S. Aegis, briefing them and providing intelligence as they conduct missions. Beyond this, General Miles' personality and appearance outside the suit is unclear. The character's gender is also unspecified.
In the briefing of M17: Infestation, Miles asks the Federation Force to collect Metroid Eggs for study. Miles's motivations for this request are suspicious, and may be foreshadowing the Galactic Federation's experimentation with Metroids in Metroid: Other M and Metroid Fusion. If an Egg is acquired, a secret ending will be unlocked that shows Sylux hatching the Egg in a Federation facility.

In the first footage of the game shown at E3 2015, General Miles' speech was represented with a 2-D icon. This was later changed to a 3-D mobile camera feed in the final game.
General Miles' unused face model, viewed via hacking.
The model used for Miles during the game's credits sequence includes a fully modeled head beneath their helmet, which cannot be seen in-game without hacking due to the helmet's visor transparency not rendering with the game's shader.[1][2] Beneath their helmet, Miles appears feminine, with blue hair, purple eyes, and prominent eyelashes. This may have originally been intended as a post-game reveal, similar to Samus Aran's gender in the original Metroid.
