==Appearance and Abilities==
Corbec was a big man, bigger than most Tanith, but not as tall as the notably lanky Ibram Gaunt. His size and bulk enabled him to have some success as a wrestler before joining the [[PDF|militia]]; he was Pryze County Champion three times running.{{Fn|3d}} He was pale, blue of eye and dark of hair, like most Tanith{{Fn|1a}} and always sported a bushy beard{{Fn|1a}} that was just slightly greater than regulation length.{{Cite thisMarker End}} Gaunt in fact once despaired of his second's appearance, wondering how he was possibly going to enforce uniform discipline in the men when the colonel of the regiment looked like a "matted and tangled old man of the woods."{{Fn|2}}
His arms were thickly muscled, and tattooed with blue spirals.{{Fn|1a}} A regular smoker, showing a preference for liquorice-flavoured cigars after trying some given to him by a [[Basilisk]] commander from the [[Ketzok 17th Armoured|Ketzok ‘Serpents’]]{{Fn|3c}}, Corbec was missing the little finger from his left hand, which had been chopped off in combat. He preferred to sleep outside in the open air, if possible and had several hobbies, including wood-whittling and carving, bird watching and of course, drinking with his men.{{Cite thisMarker End}}
Corbec wasn’t scared of much, but he did have a phobia about space-travel that lasted for several years. He carried bad memories of the time he was captured by [[Pater Sin]] and forced to watch the cruel murder of [[Trooper]] [[Yael (Tanith)|Yael]]; however, Colonel Corbec avenged Yael by killing Pater Sin on [[Herodor]].{{Cite thisMarker End}}
