Mark reappeared only sixteen years later, on [[Randis]], in the [[Periphery]].<ref name=RK/> He was reportedly sent by the [[Interstellar Relief Fund]] to deliver humanitarian items to help the Randis people: pharmaceuticals, seed grain, water purification units, and two billion [[C-bill]]s. In that moment, as half of the [[Brotherhood of Randis]]' warriors were busy searching for the [[Black Scarabs]], they've been forced to hire a small mercenary unit, the [[Malfont Raiders]] to help them defend Randis, and Mark contract them to help escort a convoy with part of the money.<ref name=RK/>

Malfont appeared to want more money, questioning Mark's identity and motives, forcing him to confess her his wife's death. During the way, the escorts, led by Mark's ''[[Banshee (BattleMech)|Banshee]]'', and Brother [[Richard Kittrick]]'s ''[[JagerMech]]'', the Brotherhood's representative, saw a ''[[Mist Lynx (Koshi)|Koshi]]'' OmniMech painted red, with a white [[Khopesh]] insignia, but it retreated before they could attack it.<ref name=RK/>

In a narrow gap between rocks, the Black Scarab's attacked the convoy, but Mark, instead of attacking them, turned against Malfont's 'Mech, forcing her to order the attackers to cease fire under the threat of kill her. She complied, and then Mark revealed than the Scarabs and Raiders are the same group, and they intend to kill Mark and Kittrick and steal their 'Mechs and money. But then, a full company of White Khopesh 'Mechs appeared and destroyed a Raider 'Mech.<ref name=RK/>

Then Mark revealed than he was the leader and founder of the White Khopesh, a pirate group created by him to destroy the clans. He searched pirated and mercenaries without any honor, and he recruited the Raiders to his group. Kittrick tried to oppose it, but under the threat of all weapons, he must retreat. It appears, however, than the humanitarian help of IRF was real. It is implied that the White Khopesh left Randis soon, without cause havoc.<ref name=RK/>
