Biography

Hunting Inhumans

Agent O'Brien was assigned to the case of Eva Belyakov, a gifted individual and Index candidate who was to be evaluated and taken in by S.H.I.E.L.D. before a different government agency could. He traveled to Bahrain under the command of Agent Hart and with Agents Phil Coulson and Melinda May brought in to help.

O'Brien watched Coulson try to reason with Belyakov and was instructed to make sure a group of locals, who had been put under the coercion of Eva Belyakov's daughter, Katya, did not interfere with the mission. Eva Belyakov caused a large commotion which resulted in O'Brien and the Bahraini men pulling guns out at each other. One man grabbed Katya Belyakov, so O'Brien went with the thugs so the girl would not be hurt. O'Brien became part of Katya's thrall, and answered Coulson's phone call simply telling him to leave them alone.

The rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team that went in were put under Katya's power, and O'Brien fought Melinda May with them. They were brought into a room by Katya following the death of her mother, where May shot the girl before she could kill O'Brien and the other agents and brought them out of her trance. O'Brien could not remember any of the events from when he was under Katya's spell, he only remembered seeing all of the dead men on the floor when he came to, starting rumors about the infamous tale of May's nickname, "The Cavalry".
