==Early History==
Ibram Gaunt was born on [[Manzipor]], the son of the second in command of the [[Jantine Patricians]] regiment. After the death of his father at the hands of [[Orks]], Gaunt was sent to the [[Schola Progenium]] on [[Ignatius Cardinal]]. After his graduation he saw action in many theatres while attached to the [[Hyrkan Regiments]]. It was during this time, that on [[Darendara]] he learnt learned that his 'Uncle' [[General]] [[Aldo Dercius]] of the Jantine Patricians was responsible for the death of his father, and executed him for the cowardice that led to his father's death. Eventually he was promoted to full [[Commissar]], at the death-bed of his Mentor, [[Commissar-General]] [[Delane Oktar]], poisoned by [[Orks]] on [[Gylatus Decimus]].
He then served with the Hyrkan 8th to their victory at [[Balhaut]]. It was during this time that Gaunt tracked down Dercius and executed him for the death of his father under the authority of his new commissarial status. Gaunt came to the attention of the [[Sabbat Crusade]]'s [[Warmaster]], [[Slaydo]], during the action on [[Balhaut]]. The two warriors came to trust each other and because of his great respect for Gaunt, Slaydo gave another death-bed promotion of Colonel-Commissar to Gaunt.
