Personality
Niles appears to be old fashioned and believes that a thief should rely on fieldwork instead of hiding behind a screen.

Anton Edison
Niles is Anton's father. They don't seem to have a good relationship as can be seen either way if you chose to recruit Anton or not: If you recruit them both, they immediately start bickering if they are both in your crew. Anton believes that Niles too old fashioned, while Niles believes Anton relies too much on technology.

In case you haven't recruited Anton, Niles will compliment you for not being 'daft' and states that he does see potential in his son, but that Anton uses to "have his nose just where it shouldn't be". He thinks his son takes too many risks since he considers himself invincible and that it needs more experienced people for dangerous tasks.
