[[Colonel]] '''Colm Corbec''' was the second-in-command of the [[Tanith First and Only]] [[Imperial Guard]] [[Regiment]] between almost the inception of the regiment in 765.[[M41]] and his eventual death in action upon the world of [[Hagia]] in 773.M41==History==He had many occupations before becoming a [[PDFImage:GGCorbec.jpg |thumb|right|militia-man150px|Colonel Colm Corbec, Tanith 1st]], including professional wrestler; he was the Pryze County Champion, 3 years running. The first job he undertook was that of Colm Corbec began his career as an apprentice to his father, who was a machine-smith and furniture-maker. After he grew too old to help his father, Corbec switched to working in the lumber-mills, the main industry of [[Tanith]]. He worked there for a long time, eventually developing a serious cough caused by the sawdust in the atmosphere. Corbec decided that a healthier job would be a good idea and joined the Tanith Magna Militia. From there, his path to the Guard was easily-trod. Originally a standard [[Guardsman]], Colm Corbec was promoted directly to the rank Colonel after the Fall of [[Tanith]] by [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]]. He quickly formed a bond with Gaunt, and the two eventually became firm friends - Gaunt once in fact described him as a "brother" - although Corbec remained just as close to his comrades in the ranks, particularly [[List of Gaunt's Ghosts Characters|Hlaine Larkin]], the famed [[Sniper]] and [[List of Gaunt's Ghosts Characters|Tolin Dorden]], regimental [[Medic|Chief Medical Officer]]. Corbec had actually been delivered by Dorden when the doctor was the County Pryze practitioner, and also felt that he owed Dorden his friendship due to the fact that Dorden saved the life of his mother, Landa. Despite initially entertaining doubts about his ability to command - particularly in his ability to issue orders that may have lead to the deaths of his soldiers - Corbec proved to be a charismatic, straight-talking and somewhat unconventional officer who appeared to be universally liked by his entire regiment, if not by everyone he happened to meet; Corbec and [[List of Gaunt's Ghosts Characters|Colonel Gilbear]] of the [[Volpone Bluebloods]] came to serious blows on one occasion.
