Sunil Bakshi was a member of HYDRA and the right hand man of Daniel Whitehall. He loyally served in Whitehall's campaign to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. and retrieve the myterious Obelisk. He was eventually captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. and imprisoned in the Playground facility. S.H.I.E.L.D. then organized a fake escape which they used to force HYDRA into killing several of its own leaders. Bakshi was then handed over to the U.S. Air Force, but he was kidnapped from Brigadier General Glenn Talbot's base by Agent 33 and Grant Ward and brainwashed into serving them. He was later killed by Agent Jemma Simmons when he tried to save Ward from her assassination attempt.
