Who is Alvin Miller from Red Prophet and what is their importance?

Alvin Miller grew up on Wobbish Road in Vigor Church, North America, as the seventh son of a seventh son and the thirteenth child. As such, he is a boy with special gifts that more often than not decide his future. He begins by using his special gifts haphazardly. He is young, and doesn't realize the strength and power of these gifts he has, or the weight of responsibility that accompanies them. So it is in the beginning, as he helps his family by using his knack to create a perfect millstone without an effort, or even on a simpler level when he communicates with the roaches in the house to keep them from invading certain areas.
