==== Return to Ultramar ====
{{Main|Invasion of Ultramar}}
In 854999854.999.[[M41]], 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 [[The Despoiler]]'s damned seer, [[Moriana]], Honsou learned that Calgar had not, in fact, been able to destroy the daemon Daemon in 935.[[M41]], but only to imprison its defeated essence inside the [[warp core]] of the ''Indomitable''. Calgar detailed half of the Ultramarines' [[5th Company (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.{{Fn|4e}} 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|4b}}
