→Colonel Colm Corbec
==Colonel Colm Corbec==
Immediately after the exodus from Tanith, the newly-founded Ghosts chose Corbec, along with two others, to go to talk Gaunt about the escape and the morale of the men. For this reason only, Gaunt chose to make Corbec his second-in-command, and since then he has led the Ghosts with nearly as much charisma and respect as Gaunt himself. Corbec was universally liked by the entire regiment and many of the soldiers under his command would not hesitate to follow any of his orders, and would gladly risk their lives to help their beloved commander. He was badly wounded several times through the books, until in on Herodor he was finally killed by the treacherous Lijah Cuu. Out of respect for his close friend, Gaunt had Corbec buried in a coffin made completely out of nalwood, wood native to Tanith which is ''extremely rare'' after the planet's destruction. This is a somewhat fitting burial since Corbec worked as a woodcutter in the deep forests of Tanith before he joined the Imperial Guard.
