Every man has a beginning.
Before the battlefield.
Before the shadows.
Before covert missions and impossible choices.
Micah Miller is a fictional character—but the kind that feels real because he’s formed the way real men are.
For Micah, that beginning was St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland.
St. Ignatius doesn’t just educate students.
It forms men.
Jesuit education is built on a demanding idea:
- Truth matters.
- Conscience comes first.
- And your life is not your own.
The Jesuits call it “Men for Others.”
Micah carries that formation with him everywhere he goes.
- When the world later demands silence…
- When institutions choose comfort over truth…
- When protecting the innocent comes at a personal cost…
Micah doesn’t ask, “What’s easiest?”
He asks, “What’s right?”
That instinct wasn’t improvised.
It was formed—in classrooms, locker rooms, chapels, and quiet moments of discernment.
St. Ignatius taught Micah that faith isn’t about safety.
It’s about responsibility.
And in THE FALLEN, that formation becomes the line between those who look away…
and the man who steps forward.
