Bhu Telinov was the deputy commanding officer of the Ebon Keshik as of 3075.[2]
History[edit]
Star Captain Bhu Telinov (formerly of Clan Cloud Cobra) joined the Ebon Keshik as commander of its Watch operations in 3071, following Clan Wolf's removal of the majority of its genetic legacies from the Clan Homeworlds.[1] By 3075, after the primary events of the Wars of Reaving had concluded, Telinov was the deputy commander of all Ebon Keshik operations. Working with her second-in-command Star Commander Sergis Steiner and chief analyst Warrior Kyne, she spent the year trying to determine the identity of the Dark Caste leader The Winter Lady.[2] Telinov was authorized to arrest both The Winter Lady and her chief enforcer (a disguised Garmen Kerensky acting on orders from Wolf Khan Vlad Ward) in August but, unfortunately, the Dark Caste leaders escaped the Katyusha Keshik enforcers sent to capture them and disappeared.[3]
On 5 April 3076, the Dark Caste forces assembled by Kerensky's Wolf operatives attacked Katyusha City as part of a larger plot to remove the body of Aleksandr Kerensky from the Homeworlds. Telinov, present at the Ebon Keshik's headquarters building, was awoken by Garmen Kerensky's BattleMech forces surfacing from the city's river and quickly took command of the Keshik's efforts in the absence of Star Colonel Gavril Mikino.[4] Over the course of the morning, the so-called "Retribution Wraiths" managed to destroy the Katyusha Keshik's Command Trinary, Katyusha City's Space Control Center and HPG, and the headquarters of the Katyusha Keshik. When the Wraiths were finally killed by Clan Star Adder's Command Keshik before they could destroy the Ebon Keshik's headquarters, Telinov and her team determined that contact had been lost with the McKenna's Pride: the tomb of General Kerensky.[5]
Eventually determining that the Pride had been hijacked by the unknown group behind the BattleMech attack, Telinov helped manage the pursuit of the vessel while it remained in the Strana Mechty system. Simultaneously, Warrior Kyne worked on identifying and backgrounding the bodies of the slain Wraiths, eventually revealing that each of the rogue warriors was a member of an Abjured or Annihilated clan and that the likely goal of the assault was the theft of Kerensky's body; the BattleMech attack was specifically intended to disrupt communications between Katyusha City and any naval forces capable of interfering with the heist.[6] Over the course of the next four days, Telinov watched as the fleeing thieves damaged the CSA Absolute Truth and evaded the CGS Lei Kung before finally escaping out of the system. A furious ilKhan Hannibal Banacek, to preserve the Grand Council of the Clans' authority, ordered that the body of the deceased Wraith's leader be doctored to appear genetically and physically identical to the stolen Kerensky. Following the meeting with the ilKhan, an exhausted Star Captain Telinov promptly collapsed.[7]
