Biography[]
Mickey Duka is a subordinate of Howard Saint and a friend of Bobby Saint. He is also a small-time crook on his own. Mickey's father also worked for Howard Saint and died to save Howard. Unlike his father he doesn't have the same level of respect for Howard and tries establishing his own criminal operation without kicking up to Howard. He convinces Bobby to participate with him in the weapons trade with Otto Krieg, a new merchant. The meeting goes wrong when the police and the FBI breaks in. During a gun fight, Bobby Saint is killed and Mickey Duka gets arrested.
After being sent to jail, Duka is immediately freed and taken to the Saint's home, where Quentin Glass tortures him in order to punish him for Bobby's death. Howard himself then appears and implies to Mickey that he intends to kill him for being responsible of his death, but actually kills one of his own henchmen for letting him go alone when he was supposed to be looking after him. Howard later discovers that under the identity of Otto Krieg was hiding the FBI agent Frank Castle, who orders the death of him and his entire family, at the request of Howard's wife, Livia Saint. After the horrific Castle family massacre in Puerto Rico, Mickey dressed up as Parking Valet as a comeuppance, he was enthusiastic gloated trying to be "dearly beloved nice" to the Saint Crime family, but it didn't work; Howard's wife Livia signs of belittles & disrespects him mistreated unfairly because of Mickey's imbecility, law-breaking agenda and cowardly antics, especially the tragic death of their son Bobby Saint.
Sometime later after Frank Castle and his family have been supposedly wiped out; Mickey Duka has been kidnapped by Castle himself, revealing to have survived. Frightening him through fake torture, he tells Frank that the Saints pay Mickey's rent & legalized income taxes as Castle mentions, he reveals who Howard works for and how he runs his business. After learning that the torture was fake, Frank reveals two ultimatums to Duka, that he either helps him take down the Saints or he can go back to working for them. Almost immediately, Duka revealed that he actually hates the Saints (likely holding a grudge against them since his father died to protect Howard, something Howard would lord over him) and freely agrees to help The Punisher kill them all. Mickey starts to manipulate Howard, following Frank's instructions and manages to convince Howard into thinking that his wife is cheating on him with Quentin, who in reality is a closeted homosexual.
Mickey is hidden somewhere in the Saint's home, and while Howard trashed Livia's jewelry boxes and a box of movie tickets, Livia came back from the movies only to get abused by her angry husband. They argued, he said that he found her earring on Quentin's bed, then he revealed to Livia that Quentin's body is rolled in a carpet. Horrified, Livia said Quentin was gay, Howard didn't believe it and slapped her when she told the truth about Quentin, Howard and one of his men forced Livia outside to a limousine, driving to a bridge, Mickey came from behind as he watched them leave the home, satisfied with what's to happen next. Howard, in his angry paranoia about his wife's supposed infidelity, threw Livia off the bridge despite her pleas and insistence that she was innocent, and left her to die being run over by a train. When the Saints and their men are killed, Mickey is the only subordinate left alive by the Punisher and inherits Howard's club.
