Criminal Case[]

Ashes to Ashes[]

The crew intended to speak with the warden about Tess's escape although Milton wasn't there. Jones and the player discovered a computer at Milton's desk. Tess was caught on camera hypnotizing the guards with a pendulum in order to break free from prison. When Milton showed up to greet the team, he expressed regret for his delayed arrival and even for Tess's escape from the prison. Inspector Jones informed Milton that Tess was discovered by the murderer prior to the authorities' arrival and questioned whether Tess had displayed any unusual conduct. Since Tess was a very intelligent After Tess's death and Luna Hecate's indictment, the team searched for a file pertaining to Shane Kolinsky's imprisonment for Donna King's murder ten years prior. They were horrified to learn that Shane was a member of the Crimson Order. Although Milton had other prisoners to keep an eye on, the team still wanted to discuss about Shane in front of him. When the crew tried to find out more about a former prisoner who had died ten years prior, Milton became quite irate, believing that the team was overly interested in the past.killer and was frequently spotted putting in long hours in the prison library, Milton felt guilty for underestimating Tess's intelligence and assumed that Tess would continue to feel the need to study even after being imprisoned.

There Will Be Blood[]

The group found an old wedding invitation to Solomon Grimmes and Inaya's wedding, which served as a Pilgrim Feast in the past, with Anakee's assistance. Milton needed to be contacted again by the team, and since he was descended from Solomon, Milton could be pulled into further examination. Milton was questioned about the marriage of Solomon and Inaya in the Detention Center. He replied that Keme Peota, the ancestor of the victim Delsin Peota, had gone bison hunting to express his disapproval of Solomon and Inaya's union, but Jones claimed that Keme realized the Aloki had disappeared without a trace. Milton asserted that after a few days of marriage, Solomon and Inaya split up because of their respective duties.

When it was discovered that the construction site was actually a mass grave containing all of the Aloki people who were killed four centuries prior, Milton was questioned once more. Milton told the squad that the Crimson Order invaded the feast and killed the Aloki because the team had had enough of his falsehoods. Solomon was spared by the Order, but in return for his life, he had to follow the orders of the Crimson Order or face consequences.

Milton's hours of reckoning began when he revealed a wanton list of lies to the team during their investigation. In fact, during the climactic moments of the case, Milton was found guilty of the horrific murder of Delsin, and his role in the four centuries of "murder-building history" of the Grimmes via the Crimson Order was finally revealed.

Milton approached the group while they were going to arrest him, wearing his helmet and Crimson Order robe. During their heated exchange, Milton acknowledged that he had killed Delsin and had drunk his blood, and he stated that he thought the city belonged to the Grimmes family. Milton dropped a bombshell when he disclosed that his ancestor, Solomon Grimmes, had similarly treated Inaya after learning through a gold mine that the Aloki tribe possessed an excess of wealth, believing the gold would be sufficient to rule Grimsborough with an iron grip. So, after courting Inaya and calling a Pilgrim-Aloki feast, Solomon came up with a scheme to assemble the Aloki under one roof. He then had the Crimson Order handle the dirty deed. Solomon took control of the gold mine for the financial gain of the Crimson Order following the Aloki genocide. Milton's statement infuriated Jones because the Order's motivation was the four-century-old gold mine.

Then Milton went on to say that he could declare himself a dictator and a god, and he was ready to shoot the player with his pistol because the gold mine served as the Order's headquarters. Thankfully, Ramirez made a timely intervention by striking Milton with his frying pan, echoing the life-saving maneuver he displayed in The Rorschach Reaper. The team wasted no time in handcuffing Milton, who retorted with disgust since he was meant to carry the player's head to the big event that night at the Crimson Order headquarters. Therefore, in order to apprehend Alden Greene and Mayor Howard Johnson in the Crimson Order base, Jones and the player posed as members of the Crimson Order. The trial of a lifetime was about to begin with Milton, Alden, Howard, and Serena Johnson in custody.

Judge Hall began by painting the Grimmes family as leaders of the Crimson Order and mass killers; however, Milton scolded her for portraying the Crimson Order as criminals rather than heroes. Judge Hall then found Serena guilty of Adam Bentley's second-degree murder. In response, Serena said that she would go down in history as Grimsborough's greatest matriarch. Judge Hall also declared Rachel Priest's murder to be a Crimson Order murder; however, Alden argued that the gold taken from the Aloki by the Order may have made Grimsborough wealthy. Not to mention, Judge Hall told Howard that he mishandled his authority as Grimsborough's mayor by following his mother's instructions—though Howard was completely nonverbal when the judge spoke.

Despite Judge Hall's judgment that the lifelong sentence in solitary confinement was excessively mild, the Crimson Order's four centuries of bloodshed served as justification for their crime. In a stern reply, Milton claimed that the Crimson Order had constructed Grimsborough; however, Judge Hall countered that murder had been committed in the city and ordered Milton to stop speaking. Judge Hall acknowledged that the infamous secret society had come to an end with the mass sentencing of the Crimson Order, ending the dark age and ushering in a bright future for Grimsborough.
