Eszrah ap Niht

Ezrah ap Niht

Eszrah ap Niht appears in several of the Gaunt's Ghosts series of stories as a secondary, yet vitally important, character.

Ezrah was Gaunt's personal bodyguard and aide in the Tanith First regiment. He was technically owned by his commanding officer after being 'given' to him by Eszrah's father and Nihtgane chieftain, Cynhed ap Niht, as a token of gratitude on Gereon. Eszrah, dubbed Ezrah Night by a number of his comrades, had since been 'domesticated' following his intergration into the Imperial Guard, through methods including learning Low Gothic and how to read. He still used the partisan Wode and his reynbow weapon, however. He personally saved Gaunt's life on no less than nine seperate occasions, and accompanied him into battle on every field since coming into his service. Eszrah and Mkoll discovered Gaunt during their daeda waeg against the Blood Pact on Jago.

THE WARMASTER -

During the closing actions on Urdesh Ezrah defended Meritous Chass, the child who was discovered to be the daughter of Ibram Gaunt, from Captain Wilder and Sergeant Gendler who planned to coerce Meritous into giving them money.

Ezrah killEd Gendler but was in return betrayed and killed by Captain Meryn who desired to cover his tracks and then coerced Commissar Blenner to execute Wilder so the men were kept from discovery of any affiliation with the assault.
