Markham is a Sergeant in the United States Air Force and a member on the Atlantis expedition.
[edit] History
Markham was among the people, which went to Atlantis at the beginning of the expedition. Since he has the ATA gene, he was several times used to pilot a Puddle Jumper.
When the Atlantis Expedition decided to examine the Wraith homeworld a second time, both Markham and Stackhouse accompanied Atlantis 1. When Col. John Sheppard was bitten by an Iratus bug, it was Markham who piloted the damaged Jumper back to Atlantis. When the engines of the Jumper didn't retract while flying through the Stargate, Markham and Stackhouse became trapped dematerialized on the other side of the event horizon. The Jumper however was in time able to pass through the gate, preventing both soldiers from dying. (ATL: "Thirty-Eight Minutes")
Several months later, Markham piloted a Jumper to another planet in the Lantean system, when both Sheppard and Rodney McKay were trapped on it. He eventually killed the Wraith on the planet with a Drone. (ATL: "The Defiant One")
When Atlantis detected a single Wraith dart flying en route to the city, Markham was among the people piloting a Jumper to intercept the dart. Unfortunately, his Jumper was shot down, killing both Markham and another expedition member. (ATL: "The Brotherhood")
