Biography
Thurston Koenig was one of five siblings, four of which were male quadruplets. In addition to his identical brothers, Eric, Billy, and Sam, he had an older sister named L.T. Koenig.

Thurston Koenig was a very cynical and seemingly uptight man. Moreover, he was the only member of the Koenig siblings who did not become a member of the S.H.I.E.L.D. super-spy agency, and appeared to have harbored some resentment towards the others for their involvement in the organization.

Despite his detachment from S.H.I.E.L.D. and all it represented, Thurston found himself involved in a plot that resulted in the abduction of Billy Koenig by Anton Ivanov - the Russian leader of a terrorist organization known as the Watchdogs.
