- Kaminsky and John Garrett

Kaminsky is a HYDRA operative who was undercover inside S.H.I.E.L.D., and served under John Garrett.

Biography
Agent Kaminsky was a helicopter pilot for S.H.I.E.L.D. assigned to the Cube when he defected to HYDRA and joined Garrett at the Barbershop Headquarters. When he reported to Garrett, he gave the HYDRA salute, to the embarrassment of Garrett.

When Grant Ward and John Garrett had difficulty entering the Fridge owing to the guards' doubts about their loyalty, Kaminsky's helicopter arrived and began firing on them, so that the guards would believe them and allow them to enter. Agent Kaminsky was one of HYDRA soldiers that infiltrated the Fridge to retrieve secret S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry under the orders of John Garrett.

When Garrett's organs failed, Kaminsky helped Ward carry Garrett to a table and escorted Raina out of the room.

When Coulson's Team infiltrated the Barbershop Headquarters, Kaminsky awaited them, carrying the Berserker Staff.

Melinda May quickly relieved Kaminsky of the staff as a battle began between Coulson's team and the Centipede-enhanced soldiers. Kaminsky proved no match for the S.H.I.E.L.D agents as May used the staff to destroy the base and bury him.

Trivia
