3.1 Milo Weaver
Milo Weaver is an American in thirty five years of age. He is handsome. He has tall body posture about 180 cm. He has green eyes.He has big hand like us
a pianist but it isn’t true, Milo Weaver who formerly worked as a special agent of the CIA spy.
“The passport gave her his particulars: five foot eleven. Born June 1970-thirty-one year sold. Piano player? No-
American passports dont list occupations. She peered up at him and spoke in her unsure accent: Mr. Charles
Alexander? Olen Steinhauer, the Tourist, part the end of tourist p.2
Milo is good man. He is more important other people than his self. Like us the incident when he met his wife’s Tina Weaver.
“He took out his telephone. The woman was terrified, so he whispered, Itll be all right, and dialed 118, the Italian
medical emergency number. In stilted, too-quiet Italian from just one painful lung, he explained that a woman on
the Rio Terra Barba Fruttariol was having a baby. Help was promised. He hung up. His blood was no longer a network
of rivulets on the ground; it formed an elongated pool.Olen Steinhauer, the tourist, p.4
He can speak some languages Russian, France, Italy. He is mentally unhinged by his life as a tourist. He is sustained by booze and amphetamines. Milo has a
family; he has a wife and a daughter. He really loves her family than everything. He is very emotional if someone to bring them into his problem.
No need to bring them into this, Milo said, then let go. Olen Steinhauer, the tourist, Olen Steinhauer, the tourist,

Milo always saves you the information that he can. He always thinks before making decisions, when the CIA agents accused her friend Angela Yates
did the dark for its own operations. Milo did not immediately believe it, he sought the truth about what happened and until the unexpected happens. Angela
Yates died and Milo is suspected.
“Also, you tell me you know nothing about Angela Yatess murder, but the story Ive just described suggests something
different. It suggests that you came to Paris and worked with Mr. Einner until your job was completed. As soon as
Angela was dead, you left. She paused. If Im missing something, please let me know” Problems of the
intrnational tourist trade p.31
Milo Weaver who formerly worked as a special agent of the CIA spy. He was placed in the Communist countries of Eastern Europe to disguise as a tourist
named Charles Alexander. As a tourist spy, Charles is a trained agent who is able to get away from the catch of other agents.
“Milo grimaced. He was going to have to go through the motions. At least a change of language would hide their talk
from these Tennessee boys. In Russian, he answered, Im Milo Weaver, of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Skill espionage will soon be working when entering an area. Such as when entering the city park, Charles will soon make a brief plan of the area along
with the easiest way out, and do not forget, registering the weapons that can be used there. For the latter, Charles trained to use the objects around him as
weapons, such as using lawn chairs, pens, letter opener tool, even a tree branch to hang. Milo is such a great character. He had never been a nervous agent. Hed
been the best agent
Milo had always felt comfortable in large airports. It wasnt that he loved to fly-that, particularly after the Towers, had
become an increasingly unbearable experience with its various secure levels of undress. The only things he enjoyed
forty thousand feet above sea level were the cleverly packaged airline meals and the days music choices on his
iPod. P1
His life is different when he has family, without them he can’t do everything.
“The betrayal makes him desperate for something stable in all this, and the only thing that comes to him is his wife and
daughter, who he cannot see, touch, or talk to. And without that family, it might as well be 2001 again, him standing on
the edge of a Venetian canal contemplating suicide. Without his family, there was no reason not to jump”.
When he was questioned he admitted something that never execution of. Thats what makes it stuck
A pause, and in that moment of silence, Fitzhugh didnt know what the man would say. Finally, Weaver shrugged.
Tom had Angela Yates killed. Thats why. He set her up to look like a traitor, and then killed her. He lied to you and
me. He lied to the Company. Then he pushed it further: Because I loved that man, and he used me.
All the events alleged to him. Milo used as bait. But it’s just illusion. He tried to seek the truth above all the events that happened. The truth, three lies, and
some omissions. That was all Milo knew.On the accused as the killer his friend and head of the CIA agents who he considers his own father had him trapped. His
families had
not believed
him and reveal
the past Milo.
Milos past uncovered through the story of Milos grandfather William Perkins. Its put a halt to her career, and Tina doesn’t believe him, he might have ruined his
marriage.
All the incidents are the end. All problems can solve. But it isn’t true. This is beginning incident.
“Hed thought it was the end, but hed been wrong. All of it-all the things that mattered, they were just beginning.”Olen
