Biography
During the Battle of Earth, a COMM officer aboard the had received a report of core data corruption. He asked the Superintendent to put Kinsler on the line, but the AI wouldn't comply.

During the Covenant invasion of the city, Kinsler rescued Sadie Endesha from an angry mob, but only to attempt to take advantage of her. When she resisted, he made several statements implying that he planned to kill her and get away with it; among other things, he noted that no one will miss one lost soul, and that "strict privacy laws" allowed him to keep his car off the grid, so Vergil would not be able to find her. His driver, Mike Branley, intervened, physically attacking the commissioner and driving Sadie to a safe area.

Kinsler later returned to take revenge on Branley and Sadie, using a police-issue Pelican to corner the two. Right as he was about to execute Branley, Virgil saved them by ramming a Olifant into Kinsler's Pelican and emptying its contents on him. Once again, the two escaped. However, Kinsler later deactivated the Superintendent/Vergil.

Kinsler confronted the duo one last time, blackmailing Sadie into cooperating with him by holding her father hostage. When Sadie boarded Kinsler's private train, it was revealed that Kinsler had already murdered her father by releasing argon into his lab, suffocating and freezing him. Vergil and Branley, however, were able to stir up an angry mob, who promptly freed Sadie and tore Kinsler apart.
