'''Brin Milo''' was a member of the [[Tanith First and Only]], a.k.a. ''Gaunt's Ghosts''.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
==Biography==
Before the events that led him to join the Ghosts, Milo served the household of the [[Planetary Governor|Elector of Tanith]] as an attendant and a musician.{{Fn|3d}} During the [[Sabbat Worlds Crusade]], the [[Imperial]] world of [[Tanith]] was called on to raise its first [[Imperial Guard Regiment|regiments]] to serve in the [[Astra Militarum]]. The overall commanding officer for these regiments was to be [[Colonel-Commissar]] [[Ibram Gaunt]], who came to oversee the regiments' founding some time after the [[Battle of Balhaut]]. When Gaunt arrived on Tanith, the [[Planetary Governor|planet's governor]] Elector appointed Milo to serve as a guide and attendant.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3a}} When the planet [[Tanith]] was later attacked and destroyed by [[Chaos]] raiders, Milo was the only civilian amongst the survivors evacuated from the planet - notably he was rescued by Gaunt himself after Milo had saved Gaunt in turn from a number of [[Chaos Cultists]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|3d}}
Despite not having enlisted with the regiment, Milo was left little choice but to join them but, as he was not of age at the time, he was officially made Gaunt's [[adjutant]]. He also served as both the regimental [[Tanith Pipes|musician]] and, unofficially, as the regiment's "mascot".{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3d}} Milo proved a most able aide for Gaunt, due to his impeccable intuition when it came to anticipating Gaunt's needs in the field.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3c}} His ability was such that some suspected him of being a [[psyker]].{{Fn|3d}}
