[[Star Colonel]] Gavril Mikino commanded the Ebon Keshik by the time that [[Star Captain]] [[Bhu Telinov]] was assigned commander of the unit's [[Clan Watch|Watch]] operations following [[Clan Wolf]]'s theft of their genetic legacies from [[Strana Mechty]]. Like most of the Ebon Keshik's [[Warrior Caste|warriors]], Mikino was an [[Elemental]] and was dubious that the non-Elemental Telinov would be useful for Keshik activities.<ref name=IoW4/> Despite this, Telinov remained with the Ebon Keshik following the [[Wars of Reaving]] and discovered the true identity of the [[Dark Caste]] leader known as [[Satinka|The Winter Lady]], with Mikino authorizing an operation to arrest both her and her chief enforcer on 26 August [[3075]].<ref name=IoW14>''Icons of War'', ch. 14</ref> Unbeknownst to the Ebon Keshik officers, the Winter Lady's enforcer was actually a disguised [[Garmen Kerensky]], who utilized his deep cover Wolf Elementals and highly-trained combat skills to escape the [[Katyusha Keshik]] troops sent to arrest the two. Furious that the two fugitives had so handily evaded Clan justice, Mikino ordered Telinov and her team to find the Dark Caste leaders expeditiously.<ref name=IoW16>''Icons of War'', ch. 16</ref>

When Garmen Kerensky's Wolf warriors and Dark Caste operatives attacked [[Katyusha City]] on 5 April [[3076]] as part of a larger plot to remove [[Aleksandr Kerensky]]'s body from the [[Clan Homeworlds]], Star Colonel Mikino was absent from the Ebon Keshik headquarters building, leaving Star Captain Telinov in control of the agency's response.<ref name=IoW23>''Icons of War'', ch. 23</ref> Only returning to his HQ after Garmen's BattleMech forces, the so-called "[[Retribution Wraiths (Clan Wolf)|Retribution Wraiths]]", were killed by the [[Adder Command Keshik (Clan Star Adder)|Adder Command Keshik]], Mikino and the accompanying [[ilKhan]] [[Hannibal Banacek]] were informed that the ''[[McKenna's Pride]]'' had been hijacked under the cover of the assault and once more left the Ebon Keshik HQ after damage to the CSA ''[[Absolute Truth]]'' nullified the [[Grand Council of the Clans|Grand Council]]'s in-system [[WarShip]] assets.<ref name=IoW37>''Icons of War'', chs. 37, 39</ref> While not present in the Ebon Keshik's command center for the next two days, Mikino's efforts at acquiring two [[Mobile HQ|Mobile HQs]] allowed his agency to overcome the damage done to Katyusha City's communications infrastructure during the Retribution Wraith's earlier assault.<ref name=IoW43>''Icons of War'', ch. 43</ref>

Liaising with [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] [[Khan of Clan Goliath Scorpion|Khan]] [[Ariel Suvorov]] on 8 April, Star Colonel Mikino and Star Captain Telinov were successful in requisitioning the use of the CGS ''[[Lei Kung]]'' for ambushing the hijacked ''Pride'' before it could exit the system.<ref name=IoW45>''Icons of War'', ch. 45</ref> Unfortunately, the Wolf rogues and their Dark Caste allies managed to escape at the last instant by utilizing risky [[K-F Drive]] maneuvering, necessitating the use of a cover up operation to hide the truth of Aleksandr Kerensky's whereabouts from the rest of the Homeworld Clans.
