Biography
Background information
Markov had been given files on Stargate Command by Colonel Harold Maybourne, who was hiding in Siberia. Markov spent extensive time in Siberia, at the Russian Stargate facility, having known the men and women of the Russian Stargate team. Returning to the facility and discovering the entire group of personnel to be dead (either by gun shot or some other means) was quite upsetting to her. {{Cite|SG1|Watergate}}


Markov was a friend of Colonel Alexi Zukhov. {{Cite|SG1|The Tomb}}

Markov, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Major Samantha Carter took a Switzerland|Swiss Mini-Sub through the Stargate to a submerged Water planet so they could deactivate the generator on a Russian Nuclear powered reconnaisance drone|probe which was not allowing the Stargate to deactivate. While exploring the underwater city, the sub was suddenly immobilized. Eventually, the trio realized the "Water-based life form|water" was actually sentient aliens holding the submarine hostage. After a while, the forward view port of the sub was shattered by the water aliens. The water aliens later engulfed the trio and sent the team back to Earth when some of the "water" aliens that were trapped on Earth were returned. {{Cite|SG1|Watergate}}
