Kai Zulane was an Astropath of House Castana serving aboard the Ultramarines vessel Argo at the beginning of the Horus Heresy. Unusually for an Astropath, Kai's eyes (normally lost when a psychic became an Astropath) had been replaced with augmetic implants, allowing him to see almost as well as his natural eyes.
凯·祖兰是卡斯塔纳家族的一名星语者,在荷鲁斯叛乱开始时,他在极限战士的阿尔戈号上服役。对于星语者来说,不同寻常的是,凯的眼睛(通常在灵能者成为星语者时会失去)被眼球植入物所取代,使他几乎可以像自然眼一样看东西。
When an unusually violent series of Warp Storms breached the Argo's Gellar Fields, the ship was severely damaged and would have been lost had it not escaped the Warp at the last moment. Only Kai Zulane and Roxanne Castana survived.
当一系列异常猛烈的亚空间风暴突破阿尔戈号的盖勒立场时,这艘船严重受损,如果不是在最后一刻逃脱亚空间,它就会失踪。只有凯·祖兰和罗克珊·卡斯塔纳幸存下来。
Kai initially believed himself to be to blame for the loss of the Argo, as he had been transmitting a message at the moment the ship's Gellar Fields failed. He thought that his psychic connection had been the means by which the entities of the warp had breached the ship's defenses. The mental trauma, along with his guilt, prevented Kai from being able to send and receive psychic messages any further. Agents of House Castana were unable to rehabilitate him and so he was returned to the City of Sight on Terra.
凯最初认为自己应该为阿尔戈号的损失负责,因为在船上的盖勒立场发生故障时,他一直在传递信息。他认为他的灵能联系是亚空间实体突破飞船防御的手段。精神创伤和内疚使凯无法再发送和接收灵能信息。卡斯塔纳家族的特工无法让他康复,所以他被送回了泰拉的视界之城。
While back on Terra, Kai was given intensive re-training to attempt to return him to his previous level of astropathic ability. His recovery was interrupted by the arrival on Terra of Magnus when he forced his way into the Emperor's Webway experiment in an effort to warn his father about the betrayal by Horus. The psychic explosion severely damaged the City of Sight and killed many astropaths. Kai's mentor received some sort of visions of the future in this moment, and imparted the secrets shown there into Kai's mind, hidden within Kai's own feelings of guilt in order to protect them.
回到泰拉后,凯接受了强化再训练,试图将他恢复到之前的星语能力水平。当马格努斯抵达泰拉时,他的康复被打断了,当时他强行进入帝皇的网道实验,试图警告他的父亲荷鲁斯的背叛。灵能爆炸严重破坏了视界之城,并杀死了许多星语者。凯的导师在这一刻收到了某种对未来的憧憬,并将其中显示的秘密传授给了凯,这些秘密隐藏在凯自己的内疚感中,以保护它们。
Kai was taken to the Hollow Mountain to have these secrets forcibly extracted from his mind (a process which would kill him). He was able to resist this forced invasion of his mind but would eventually have succumbed had he not been freed by a prison break by several Astartes of The Crusader Host of whose Legions are now known to have turned on the Emperor. These Astartes, led by Atharva, a marine of the Thousand Sons legion, took Kai with them as they fled. Atharva knew Kai had a valuable secret inside him and wished to gain control of it.
凯被带到空心山脉,强行从脑海中提取这些秘密(这一过程会杀死他)。他能够抵抗这种对他思想的强行入侵,但如果不是被远征代表的几名阿斯塔特的越狱释放,他最终还是会屈服的,现在知道他们的军团已经背叛了帝皇。这些阿斯塔特,由千子军团的战士阿塔瓦率领,在逃跑时带走了凯。阿塔瓦知道凯内心有一个宝贵的秘密,并希望控制它。
Kai was an unwilling companion to the fleeing Astartes (now calling themselves the Outcast Dead) as they fled through the Petitioner's City near the Emperor's Palace. Along the way, one of the Astartes, Ashuba of the World Eaters, realized Kai's augmetic eyes were being used to track them, tore them out of Kai's head by force, nearly killing him. Kai was able to survive after receiving medical attention.
当逃离的阿斯塔特(现在称自己为被放逐的死者)穿过帝皇宫殿附近的请愿者之城逃离时,凯是他们不情愿的同伴。一路上,阿斯塔特之一,吞世者的阿舒巴,意识到凯的眼球被用来追踪他们时,强行将它们从凯的头上扯下,差点杀死他。凯在接受治疗后得以幸存。
Kai was eventually able to deliver the secret information to the Emperor psychically, after a series of visions in which the Emperor spoke to him directly. Once Kai was able to accept that he was not to blame for the loss of the Argo, and possibly due to his encounter with the Emperor, his natural eyes (a deep shade of violet) regenerated spontaneously.
在经历了一系列帝皇直接与他对话的幻象后,凯最终能够通过灵能将秘密信息传达给帝皇。一旦凯能够接受他不应该为阿尔戈号的损失负责,也可能是由于他与帝皇的相遇,他的自然眼(深紫色)自发地再生了。
Kai died in the Temple of Woe when he willingly sacrificed himself to prevent anyone from learning the secret that had been hidden in his mind. He asked Roxanne Castana to uncover her Third Eye so that he could look upon it, an act that was fatal to him.
凯死在灾祸神殿,他自愿牺牲自己,以阻止任何人了解他心中隐藏的秘密。他让罗克珊·卡斯塔纳揭开她的第三只眼,这样他就可以看到它了,这一行为对他来说是致命的。
