History 历史

Pre-Heresy 叛乱前

Great secrecy surrounded them; they were chosen from the rank-and-file of the Death Guard by their Primarch, Mortarion, personally for their skill at arms, fearlessness and proven endurance - often being the sole survivor when the rest of their squad has perished.Their identities were a mystery, since, after being inducted into the Deathshroud, they never spoke, never removed their helmets even in death, and were officially listed as being killed in action.

他们周围笼罩着巨大的秘密；他们是由他们的原体莫塔里安亲自从死亡守卫的普通士兵中挑选出来的，因为他们的武器技能、无畏精神和久经考验的耐力——当他们的小队其他成员死亡时，他们往往是唯一的幸存者。他们的身份是个谜，因为在被纳入死亡寿衣后，他们从未说话，即使在死亡后也从未摘下头盔，并被正式列为在行动中被杀。

Heresy-era Deathshroud 叛乱前死亡寿衣

Deathshroud bodyguards were clad in highly artificed Terminator armour that gave them a tall and barrel-chested appearance. They were armed with hand flamers with chem-munitions and, like their master, they wielded large power scythes known as Manreapers. They never strayed more than 49 paces from their Primarch.An intimidating presence, they were capable of achieving a uniformity so perfect that when at rest they gave the impression of grand statues, and when in motion, of mechanical automatons.Mortarion was customarily attended by two Deathshroud at any one time, but there may have been more.

死亡寿衣护卫身穿高度精工的终结者盔甲，使他们看起来高大宽阔。他们手持火焰枪和化学武器，像他们的主人一样，他们挥舞着被称为“收割者”的大威力镰刀。他们从未偏离过他们的原体49步。他们是一种令人生畏的存在，能够实现如此完美的统一性，以至于在静止时给人一种宏伟雕像的印象，在运动时给人以机械自动机的印象。莫塔里安通常在任何时候都有两个死亡寿衣守卫，但可能还有更多。

In the Battle of Iota Horologi, the Deathshroud accompanied their lord in a boarding action of a cylindrical Jorgall worldship.

在约塔·霍罗洛吉战役中，死亡寿衣陪伴他们的主人登上了一艘圆柱形的乔加尔世界飞船。

Before an attack on the Knight world of Molech, Mortarion killed all seven of his Deathshroud bodyguards with a single stroke of his Manreaper, Silence, inside the gene-vault aboard his flagship, Endurance, in order to feed the emerging daemon essence of Ignatius Grulgor, who had been killed on Isstvan III by the the Life-eater virus.

在袭击摩洛骑士世界之前，莫塔里安在其旗舰忍耐号的基因库内，用他的收割者缄默一击杀死了他的七名死亡寿衣护卫，以喂养伊格内修斯·格鲁戈尔显现的恶魔本质，他在伊斯塔万三号上被生命吞噬病毒杀死。

Post-Heresy 叛乱后

As a Daemon Prince of Nurgle, Mortarion was still accompanied by his Deathshroud ten thousand years later, notably when he confronted the Grey Knights at the Battle of Kornovin.

作为纳垢的恶魔王子，莫塔里安在一万年后仍然伴随着他的死亡寿衣，特别是当他在科诺温战役中与灰骑士对峙时。

Today, the Deathshroud serve as Mortarion's representatives, and while they still often fight by his side they also form the honour guard for Chaos Lords, Plague Surgeons, and other champions of Chaos which have garnered Mortarion's favor. Their presence is a mixed blessing at best. The Deathshroud will fight with all their skill and strength in support of their assigned champion, and prove to be an undeniable asset in battle. Yet all the while the Deathshroud are judging upon their master’s behalf. If the champion is successful, the Deathshroud depart at battle’s end, leaving as silently as they came. If their charge fails in his duties, however, the judgement of Mortarion is swift, deadly and utterly inescapable.

今天，死亡寿衣是莫塔里安的代表，虽然他们仍然经常在他身旁战斗，但他们也为混沌领主、瘟疫军医以及其他获得莫塔里安青睐的混沌冠军组成荣誉卫队。死亡寿衣将以他们所有的技能和力量为指定的冠军而战，并被证明是战斗中不可否认的资产。然而，死亡寿衣一直在代表他们的主人进行评判。如果冠军获胜，死亡寿衣将在战斗结束时离开，像他们来时一样悄无声息地离开。然而，如果他们未能履行职责，莫塔里安的审判将是迅速、致命和完全不可避免的。
