During the course of the battle, his squadron was destroyed by the Minbari, and his fighter was badly damaged. As squadron leader, Sinclair fought at the Battle of the Line, the last major battle in the Earth-Minbari War. Due to his rapid rise through the ranks, the rumor of the day was that Sinclair was on the fast track to making Admiral. Less than a year later, Sinclair was promoted to squadron leader. In 2240, Sinclair was promoted to fighter pilot, continuing a Sinclair family tradition that had extended as far back as the Battle of Britain. The season one episode " By Any Means Necessary" establishes that Sinclair received Jesuit education as a young man. Sakai went missing in late 2259, while on a mission for the Rangers. After a year of living together, the two of them broke up, but continued to see each other off and on through 2258, when they became engaged. During his time at EarthForce Academy, he met Catherine Sakai, with whom he had a relationship. Sinclair continued the tradition and became a fighter pilot. In an early episode of season one, Sinclair stated that his family had been pilots "ever since the Battle of Britain" and Sinclair's father was a fighter pilot for EarthForce who participated in the Battle of Balos, the last engagement of the Dilgar Invasion. However, Straczynski emphasized that O'Hare's fans, particularly those of his role as Sinclair, had helped him cope with his struggle in ways medication never could. The following year, Straczynski revealed that O'Hare struggled with delusions and paranoia due to mental illness, which ultimately prevented him from continuing to act.

At O'Hare's personal request, the full reasons for his departure from the show were kept secret until after his death in 2012. As a result of this departure, there are several minor inconsistencies between the first season and the remainder of the show, most visibly in " And the Sky Full of Stars" and " Babylon Squared".
O'Hare subsequently reprised the character of Sinclair briefly in season two and a two-episode guest appearance in season three, enabling the show to wrap up loose ends. Michael Straczynski made the mutual and amicable decision for the character and actor to depart as a regular.
