Mito was the Captain of the Raptors Chapter's 5th Company, which was stationed aboard the Imperial Navy's Emperor Class Battleship, the Enduring Blade.[1b]

History

Mito was contacted by Meyloch Severus, the Planetary Governor of Dolumar IV, with a request that he claimed would benefit the Imperium: Severus needed Mito's help in capturing a T'au Ethereal from the nearby colony of Kuu'lan, which would allow the Governor to study what he believed was their psychic abilities. Seeing the benefit of the request, Mito agreed and a squad from his Company attacked the colony and captured the Ethereal Ko'vash, who was then delivered to Dolumar IV's vast prison complex.[1b]

Once word reached the T'au, they retaliated by attacking Dolumar IV and freeing Ko'vash from the prison complex.[1b] While the T'au attacked his world, Severus contacted the Enduring Blade for help and it brought Battlefleet Ultima Primus (as well as Mito and his company) with it.[1a] Once there, the fleet attacked and then boarded the Tau warship Or'es Tash'var, in order to capture the ship and the recently freed Ko'vash, with Mito sending a squadron to help reclaim the Ethereal.[1b]

To the Imperial Navy's surprise, their boarding attack was beaten back by the T'au and a large group of T'au warships arrived and attacked their outnumbered fleet. With momentum on their side, the T'au boarded the Enduring Blade and Mito and his Company would help in defending the ship from the numerous Fire Warrior teams sent to cripple the ship. During the attack Mito led a squadron that guarded the Enduring Blade's engines, when a Tau drone flew at them at a high rate of speed. It evaded their attacks until Mito slashed his Chainsword at the drone - just as it exploded. The massive explosion tore Mito and his squadron apart and the Fire Warrior La'Kais, who had packed the drone with Kles'tak Explosives‎ before sending it at the Raptors, walked past the wreckage and destroyed the Enduring Blade's engines.[1c]
