===Epsilon Regalis===
[[Image:Markhov.jpg|thumb|right|Inquisitor Markhov on Epsilon Regalis]]
Markhov requested the assistance of the [[Ultramarines]] in investigating the planet [[Epsilon Regalis]], which had recently turned away from the light of the [[Emperor]] for unknown reasons (later discovered to be the influence of a rogue [[psyker]]). [[Chapter Master]] [[Marneus Calgar]] consented and allowed the 4th Company, led by Captain [[Idaeus]], to be seconded to his service. However, Markhov refused to disclose the nature of the heretic that they were after, stating bluntly that he had the tools to deal with it, which would later turn out to be his downfall as the Ultramarines were ill-prepared to face the threat that the psyker would pose.
Captain Ideaus, a contingent of Assault Marines, and the then veteran sergeant [[Uriel Ventris]] were to attack the centre of the rebellion with the assistance of Markhov. While this was occurring, veteran sergeants [[Pasanius]] and Learchus were also headed to the battle within [[Rhino]] transports escorted by [[Predator Annihilator]]s.
The assault marines landed in the midst of the rebel forces, and proceeded to rapidly kill the traitors in their path, slowly making their way to the leader of the heretic forces. However, the unbound psyker revealed himself and began wreaking havoc upon the ranks of the Ultramarines, seemingly withstanding the worst that they could throw at ithim.
It was at this time Markhov revealed himself, binding the psyker with the help of his aide, Arakoni, and tamed him by speaking the holy words of the [[Emperor]]. Markhov and the [[Space Marines]] then rallied together and carried their prisoner to the waiting Rhinos.
