Milo Murphy/History

Early life

It seems Milo has been affected by EHML his entire life, which means he has always been dogged by bad luck.

Early in his childhood, he was occasionally cared for by a babysitter; a resourceful young lady named Veronica. He watched her constantly countering Murphy's Law with a backpack that contained something for everything. At some point growing up, Milo earned the backpack from Veronica and continues to use it to this day.

Growing up, Milo and his family would occasionally spend holidays with the extended Murphy family, but the continuous disasters caused by having that many Murphy's in one place likely caused them to end the gatherings.

The Murphy's got Diogee as a pup when Milo was a very young age, and the two of them grew up together. Sometime around then Sara tried to teach Milo how to tie his shoes, but it ended up as disastrous as things tend to for Milo, and even now he still dislikes wearing shoes with laces.

One of Milo's most famous adventures is The Llama Incident. A trip to a llama production of Hamlet went horribly wrong, leading to Milo and Melissa chasing after Milo's back pack from one crazy location to the next. The two manage to go through it and go on to look back at the adventure positively. They continue to treasure and laugh about it to this day.

It is unknown how long he's known Melissa, although it is implied they've been close friends for a very long time now. As the only person brave enough to choose to face Murphy's Law on a daily basis, she remained one of Milo's only friends until they met Zack.
