→Return to Ultramar
==== Return to Ultramar ====
{{Main|Invasion of Ultramar}}In 854999, M'kar attacked Ultramar again, this time with a large Chaos force. Some time before then, Warsmith [[Honsou]] of the [[Iron Warriors]] had learned of M'kar's existence and his long-standing hatred for the Ultramarines. With the help of [[Ezekyle Abaddon|the The Despoiler]]'s damned seer, [[Moriana]], Honsou learned that Calgar had not, in fact, been able to destroy the daemon in 935.M41, but only to imprison its defeated essence inside the [[warp core]] of the ''Indomitable''. Calgar detailed half of the Ultramarines' Fifth Company to garrison the star fort and guide it on a constant, random journey in and out of the warp, but M'kar's hatred for the Ultramarines was so powerful that he always left a faint trail that could lead their enemies to him{{Fn|7a}}.
Honsou and his newly-formed army captured the star fort and freed M'kar, which possessed the [[Dreadnought]] armour of Brother [[Altarion]], one of the Ultramarines assigned to guard the fort. It was only after the initial attacks that Honsou realized that M'kar was taking over his army, which the Daemon lord dubbed the [[Bloodborn]]{{Fn|4}}.
