However, just as he was to take up the position, Tanith was assaulted from orbit by a Chaos Warfleet which destroyed the Tanith Second and Third Regiments, leaving the Tanith First as the only survivors. Gaunt was ordered to assume command of three full Imperial Guard regiments drawn from the heavily forested backwater Agri-world of Tanith. A political favourite of the Imperial Warmaster Slaydo who first commanded the Crusade, Gaunt was given the unusual honour of a regimental command rank of colonel alongside his commissar duties on the order of the Warmaster as Slaydo lay on his deathbed. Gaunt is most notable for leading his regiment in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade which had consumed much of the Sabbat Worlds Sector in the Segmentum Pacificus from 755.M41 onwards. Ibram Gaunt, also known as the "People's Hero," is an Imperial commissar and the commanding officer of the Tanith First and Only regiment of the Astra Militarum, better known as " Gaunt's Ghosts." He later became a Lord Militant, before being appointed the First Lord Executor Militant of the Sabbat Worlds Crusade by Warmaster Macaroth, its second leader. " The men and women of the Imperial Guard sacrifice more and gain less than perhaps any other arm of the Imperial Armed Forces."Ĭolonel- Commissar Ibram Gaunt of the Tanith First-and-Only
