Armor married into the Miller family and respects them all. He has a store in the center of Vigor Church and is a pious, God fearing man. He believes that knacks of any kind are the devil's playground and will denounce even his own wife for practicing any form of them whatsoever. Armor is not terribly observant about the world around him, though. His home and the immediate area around it are full of hexes meant to ward off evil and keep them safe - all powerfully strong and created using natural objects by his wife. It is the only way in which she deceives him. He is close friends with Reverend Thrower, and advocates peace between the Red and White populations. Until the kidnapping of Alvin and Measure, his words were taken sincerely and respected by all. This is a large part of the reason that such a population of Red men could coexist with them on the other side of the river in Prophetstown. When the Miller boys are kidnapped, he loses the respect of his fellow townsmen, and they lust for blood and vengeance.
