One of four survivors from the Splinter attack (in the game from which the manga is based, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, there are no survivors), Miguel emerged with the other three survivors of the team after Samus killed a Dark Alpha Splinter, and welcomed her to "hell". Introducing himself to Samus, he states that he has to protect himself, and that "the weak die". Miguel also seems to believe in a false rumor that Samus has no emotions, and states that he can live longer with Samus than he can with the rest of the survivors, and follows after her when she is going to the Generator Room to restore power.
