History
In 2267, Markham and Becky Randall were married by Kirk on the recreation deck. That evening, however, Faron and Nadira manipulated the crew telepathically into a gender war, inciting hatred between the couple and driving them to opposing sides. Faron compelled Markham to implement a saucer separation. After the conflict ended, Markham and Randall embraced. (TOS - Star Trek: The Manga - Shinsei Shinsei comic: "'Til Death")
In 2270, Markham answered when security called engineering to learn whether a person could crawl through a particular ventilation shaft. He concluded that not even a contortionist could maneuver through it. He was unaware that security was tracking a Pandronian, who could disassemble his humanoid body into many independent parts to get through such a space. (TAS - Log Nine novelization: Bem)
