Mickey Milkovich is the often serious and violent older brother of Mandy Milkovich and son of Terry Milkovich. He is known as one of the most aggressive neighborhood thugs; having stolen several items from stores, being sent to juvie at an early age, and having several weapons in his household. He was first introduced on the show as a greasy thug who terrorized Ian because Mandy accused Ian of assaulting her. Mickey was closeted. At the start, it seems that Ian is the boy most affected by their relationship. Eventually, there were signs that he cared more about Ian than he was willing to let on.
