Russian envoy to SG-1, assigned to take the team back to Siberia to determine the Egyptian Stargate's inability to deactivate. Markov had been given files on the S.G.C. by Colonel Maybourne, who had hidden away in Siberia.

Markov spent extensive time in Siberia, having known the men and women of the Russian Stargate team. Returning to the facility, discovering the entire group of personnel to be dead (either by gun point or some other means) was quite upsetting to her.

Markov, Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter took a Swiss submersible through the Stargate to a submerged water world where they could deactivate the generator connected to the Stargate, allowing the gate to deactivate. While exploring the underwater city her sub was suddenly unable to move. It was not long before the forward bubble of the sub exploded, eventually engulfing the trio into the water lifeforms. These creatures sent the team back to Earth.

Markov is a friend of Colonel Zukhov.
