Biography
In 2006, Agent Akela Amador led a raid on one of Vanchat's gulags.

After the battle of New York, Vanchat specialized himself in obtaining samples of alien technology and metals.

Therefore, Agent Grant Ward was tasked with obtaining a Chitauri Neural Link that had come into Vanchat's possesion.

Vanchat was taken into custody by a S.H.I.E.L.D. team under the direction of Agent Victoria Hand during a transaction to sell a piece of Chitauri metal to Emily Deville.

S.H.I.E.L.D. needed information from Vanchat as to the whereabouts of missing agent Phil Coulson, who had been abducted by the Centipede Project. Vanchat was, among other things, a dealer in alien metals, and the Centipede Group utilized his services in obtaining the Chitauri metal used in constructing their Centipede Devices.

Vanchat was unwilling to provide any information until Agent Grant Ward threatened to eject him from the Bus in flight.

After giving S.H.I.E.L.D. everything they needed, Vanchat was taken to the Fridge for holding.
