→Return to Ultramar
M'kar personally led the onslaught against [[Talassar]], while other Chaos warlords attacked Calth, [[Espandor]] and [[Tarentus]]. Calgar himself led the 1st Company to Talassar, determined to once again slay M'kar{{Fn|4}}.
After weeks of being besieged in the ancient fortress of [[Castra Tanagra]] by M'kar's daemon army, the defending Ultramarines reached their lowest ebb when [[Chief Librarian]] [[Varro Tigurius]] was finally overcome by weariness, and the psychic barrier he had erected around the fortress failed. M'kar arrived in person to finish Calgar. Calgar was nearly overwhelmed, since M'kar was able to draw limitless power from the ''Indomitable'', but Tigurius suddenly rallied and unleashed a psychic burst that drove M'kar back and severed his connection to the star fort. Calgar rallied the 1st Company for a final charge against the daemons. Calgar was nearly defeated by M'kar, when reinforcements from the Ultramarines' 2nd and 4th Companies arrived, led by Captains [[Cato Sicarius|Sicarius]] and [[Uriel Ventris|Ventris]], the latter of whom had retrieved the [[Shard of Erebus ]] from Captain Ventanus' tomb on Calth{{Fn|4}}.
Uriel pronounced M'kar's [[True name|mortal name]] aloud, and threw the Shard to Calgar, who stabbed M'kar in the throat{{Fn|4}}. The power of the Shard was enough to destroy M'kar's essence, a [[True Death]] that destroyed the Daemon Prince once and for all.{{Fn|4a}}.
