Biography
When Mikhail learned that his fiancée Cattleya was killed in the Great Orcus Labyrinth in a failed attempt to defeat the Hero Party, he immedialty rushed towards his commander, Freid Bagwa, in order to confirm the news. Upon learning that it was true, as well and learning of their plans to kill the "Fertility Goddess" Aiko Hatayama were also foiled, Freid ordered a distraught Mikhail to train hard while he ventured to the Grand Gruen Volcano in order to obtain its Ancient Magic.

Mikhail was later among the Demons that invaded the Heiligh Kingdom, under Freid's command. He was in charge of the Black Eagle squadron that rode in flying Monsters called Cotriss. When Yue and Shea encountered Freid's forces, he ordered his subordinates to split up the two girls while he confronted Yue. Mikhail and the rest of his squad then fought against Shea. His anger over the death of Cattleya prompted him to get revenge on Shea since she was a companion of Cattleya's killer Hajime. At first, Shea was confused as to while Mikhail bore such hatred towards her. After he revealed his relationship to Cattleya in an impassioned tone, Shea remainded unconcerned and argued that it was Cattleya's own fault that she got killed. This served to make Mikhail angrier and immediately ordered all of his forces to kill her. Using a large metal kendama ball and chain attached to her war hammer "Drucken", Shea managed to kill most of Mikhail's squad without much effort, but he was able to hit Shea with some needles from his Cotriss mount that began to petrify her. Shea, however, neutralized the status effect by using Restoration Magic on herself, and resumed killing the rest of Mikhail's forces. In a last ditch effort, Mikhail attempted to strike Shea with Lighting Magic, but she avoided the attacks thanks to her ability to predict where the lighting would strike before it could hit her. Shea managed to restrain Mikahil with the chain from her kendama ball and flung him and his flying mount to the ground. The impact severely wounded Mikhail to the point her could not even stand up. Shea then finally killed Mikhail after striking him with her war hammer, but not before he called her a monster with the last of his strength, to which Shea responded by thanking him.
