Gaunt's Ghosts	On Phantine, a number of Ghosts took part in "Operation Larisel", an airborne operation that deployed specially selected fire teams into Ouranberg to seek out and assassinate Sagittar Slaith, the Chaos warlord in command of the Blood Pact forces holding the city. This mission took place at the same time as the main assault in which the rest of the Tanith First was deployed.
Gaunt's Ghosts	A number of Ghosts are hand-picked to form specialist kill-teams, placed in a regime of additional jump-training and covertly deployed into Ouranberg prior to the invasion. Codenamed "Operation Larisel", their mission is to kill Sagittar Slaith; the Chaos commander of the Blood Pact holding Ouranberg. Doing so will break the morale of the Chaos worshippers and enable the Imperial forces to recapture Ouranberg with greater ease. The task is made more daunting with the prospect of thousands of Blood Pact troopers and loxatl mercenaries standing between them and their target. However, the rest of the Tanith First face their own trials as they await deployment; a great unease is brewing between the Tanith and the Verghastite soldiers, and a crime case involving several Ghosts highlights this divide.
List of Gaunt's Ghosts characters	The Phantine XX commanding officer and ace pilot, first introduced to Gaunt in a briefing before the assault of Cirenholm - a major city on Phantine - in "Guns of Tanith". During the battle Jagdea's Lightning is shot down, but she manages to eject and, after drifting under her parachute for some time, lands on one of Cirenholm's structure domes. She is later saved by a small team of Ghosts that were also stranded on the dome after their drop ship was gunned down. She joins the group and assists the team by guiding them into the city, but holds a very grim outlook on their situation. This demoralises the team slightly, but they continue on nonetheless. Jagdea also attempts suicide at one point when the group faces attack from several units of Blood Pact, but is foiled by Scout-Trooper Bonin. Later in the novel, Jagdea volunteers to pilot the troop carrier containing Larisel 1 as part of Lord-General Van Voytz's plan to re-take Ouranburg. When the craft comes under heavy fire and is shot down, Jagdea is saved once again by Bonin. She accompanies the kill-team on their mission to hunt down Sagittar Slaith, and finds one of her fellow pilots after the group is captured. She survives captivity and the main invasion of Ouranburg. Jagdea continued to command the Phantine XX Imperial Guard fighter squadron, and participated in the defence of Enothis in the spin-off novel "Double Eagle".
List of Gaunt's Ghosts characters	The leader of the Tanith's elite scout unit, Mkoll is not a person to be taken lightly. True to his job description, Mkoll can blend seamlessly into the environment and move with almost perfect stealth. He also has the unique ability of being able to intuitively know which way to lead his men, being able to find meaning in something as warped as a Chaos mobile base. He is also quite adept at silently killing any enemies that may cross his path. Mkoll's skills are impressive: he has destroyed a Chaos Dreadnought, outstealthed, outsmarted and killed a Dark Eldar Mandrake assassin unaided, and personally killed Chaos warlord Sagittar Slaith. Because of Mkoll's abilities, Gaunt gives the master scout a wide berth to operate, always letting him choose who he wants to recruit as a scout. Due to his exacting standards, he only takes the best of the stealthers in the Tanith First to be trained. Mkoll was part of the insertion team to Gereon and joined the resistance when extraction was impossible. During his time on Gereon he and the other scouts on the mission honed their skills to an even greater extent and astounded the other scouts on their return to the Tanith First (at that point, the 81st-1st Recon). In "Only In Death", Mkoll leaves Hinzerhaus in pursuit of Eszrah across Jago's deadly badlands in order to retrieve Gaunt's powersword, taken by Eszrah to complete a suicide ritual to avenge Gaunt's "death". Mkoll catches up with Eszrah and demands that the Nihtgane return the blade (saying it belongs to the regiment) but ends up going with Eszrah to the Blood Pact command post and disabling a long-range vox caster as well as killing the Pact commander. He kills a number of dying POWs out of mercy, and almost kills Gaunt before Eszrah realises who the blind man is and stops him.
