After Avatar Korra thwarted an extortion attempt by Triple Threat Triad members, Captain Saikhan and other metalbending police officers arrived at the scene via the police airship. Quickly assessing the situation, Saikhan ordered his officers to apprehend the three immobilized criminals, and additionally attempted to arrest Avatar Korra for damaging private and public property. He attacked her with his metalbending, but due to Naga's interference, he was unable to detain her for long. However, the Avatar was eventually apprehended, and during her interrogation at the police headquarters, Saikhan informed Lin Beifong of Councilman Tenzin's arrival.
