History 历史

By the the final stages of the Siege of Terra, Caecaltus alongside fellow Proconsul Uzkarel Ophite were the two sentinels closest to the Emperor directly on the steps of the Golden Throne. Upon the rousing of the Emperor to confront Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit, Caecaltus was chosen by the Emperor to accompany Him in the teleportation assault. Before Malcador the Sigillite took the place of the Emperor on the Throne, he put his finger in his mouth and made his sigil with saliva upon Caecaltus' armour.

在泰拉围城的最后阶段，凯卡尔图斯和他的战友乌兹卡雷尔·奥菲特总督是直接在黄金王座台阶上距离帝皇最近的两名哨卫。当帝皇起身跳帮复仇之魂号与荷鲁斯对峙时，凯卡尔图斯被帝皇选中陪同他进行传送攻击。在掌印者马卡多取代帝皇坐上王座之前，他把手指伸进嘴里，用唾液在凯卡尔图斯的盔甲上刻印。

Upon the teleportation aboard the Vengeful Spirit, Caecaltus succumbed to the Warp-sorcery of Horus alongside dozens of other Custodes. The Companions were then controlled by Horus into attacking the Emperor, blood flowing from their eyes at the effort to resist. Caecaltus was amongst the Custodes to survive the ordeal, and the lingering taint of Horus was expelled from him by the Emperor. However the shame of attacking his Master would never go away.

在传送到复仇之魂号上后，凯卡尔图斯与其他数十名禁军一起屈服于荷鲁斯的亚空间魔法。然后，伙友被荷鲁斯控制，开始攻击帝皇，鲜血从他们的眼睛里流出，试图抵抗。凯卡尔图斯是在折磨中幸存下来的禁军之一，帝皇将荷鲁斯挥之不去的污点从他身上驱逐出去。然而，攻击主人的耻辱永远不会消失。

Dusk continued to accompany his master even as out of desperation, the Emperor began to drink from the Warp and transform into an entity dubbed the Dark King. This proto-god swelled with power to an extent that His very presence killed all Custodians around him save Dusk, who apparently had survived due to Malcador's earlier blessing. However Dusk was still a near-totally charred corpse, and acted as little more than a mouthpiece for the Emperor during His conversation with Ollanius Persson. After being convinced by Persson to abandon the power of the Dark King, the Emperor let out a blast of power that managed to heal Caecaltus.

达斯克继续陪伴着他的主人，尽管出于绝望，帝皇开始吸收亚空间力量，变成了一个被称为黑暗之王的实体。这个原神的力量膨胀到一定程度，以至于他的存在杀死了他周围的所有禁军，除了达斯克，他显然是因为马卡多早些时候的祝福而幸存下来的。然而，达斯克仍然是一具几乎完全烧焦的尸体，在帝皇与欧兰尼奥斯·佩松的谈话中，它只不过是帝皇的喉舌。在被佩松说服放弃黑暗之王的力量后，帝皇释放了一股力量，成功治愈了凯卡尔图斯。

Dusk, alongside Leetu, Garviel Loken, and the Emperor Himself ultimately faced Horus within Lupercal's Court aboard the Vengeful Spirit. After Horus grievously wounded the Emperor Dusk briefly stood between the traitorous Warmaster and his King. Defying Horus, Dusk was contemptuously hit with a blast of dark energy emitted from the Warmaster's great eye upon his breastplate. Much to Horus' shock Dusk survived, apparently due to the sigil Malcador had left upon him. Frustrated, Horus was able to gleam all 610 names Dusk had collected and used it to gain absolute power over the Custodian. Horus quickly recited all the names then let out a second blast that obliterated Dusk utterly.

达斯克，与勒图、加维尔·洛肯和帝皇本人一起，最终在复仇之魂号上与卢佩卡尔王庭中的荷鲁斯对峙。荷鲁斯重伤帝皇后，达斯克短暂地站在叛徒战帅和他的王之间。抵抗荷鲁斯，达斯克被战帅胸甲上巨大的眼睛发出的一股黑暗能量轻蔑地击中了。令荷鲁斯震惊的是，达斯克幸存了下来，显然是因为马卡多留下的印记。沮丧之下，荷鲁斯得以亮出达斯克收集的所有610个名字，并利用这些名字获得了对禁军的绝对权力。荷鲁斯迅速吟诵了所有的名字，然后发出第二次爆炸，彻底抹去了达斯克。
