John Grammaticus was an enigmatic human psyker who served as an agent of a xenos organization known as the Cabal in the latter days of the Great Crusade. Among the powers he wielded was the ability to understand and speak any language and identify where a speaker came from based on how they spoke; he claimed there was not a language that he could not master.
约翰·格拉马迪库斯是一位神秘的人类灵能者，在大远征的后期担任一个名为密会的异型组织的特工。他所拥有的能力之一是能够理解和说出任何语言，并根据说话者的说话方式确定他们来自哪里；他声称没有一门语言是他不能掌握的。

History 历史
Grammaticus had been an officer of the Caucasian Levvies, a great army that had served under the Emperor during the Unification Wars on Terra. During a victory ceremony after defeating the forces of the Panpacific Empire, Grammaticus briefly met the Emperor, who recognized his psyker abilities and offered to speak further to "consider the options available to beings like us." Before they could have that meeting, Grammaticus was killed at Anatol Hive. The eldar Autarch Slau Dha brought Grammaticus back to life, gave him the ability to reincarnate as a Perpetual, and put him into service in the Cabal. At one point, Grammaticus spent eighteen years in an insane asylum.
格拉马迪库斯曾是高加索征召兵的一名军官，这是一支在统一战争期间在帝皇手下服役的伟大军队。在击败泛太平洋帝国军队后的胜利仪式上，格拉马迪库斯短暂地会见了帝皇，帝皇认识到了他的灵能者能力，并提出进一步发言，以“考虑像我们这样的生物可用的选择”。在他们举行那次会面之前，格拉马迪库斯在阿纳托尔巢都被杀。灵族司战斯兰·达使格拉马迪库斯复活，赋予他转生为永生者的能力，并让他为密会服务。格拉马迪库斯一度在精神病院度过了18年。
Agent of the Cabal 密会代理
A thousand years later, on the eve of the Heresy, the Cabal dispatched Grammaticus to suborn the Astartes Alpha Legion to their cause. The Cabal had foreseen the treason of Horus and the impending civil war that would result, and believed that the Alpha Legion and its primarch Alpharius had a great part to play in that coming war. To that end, Grammaticus infiltrated the Geno Five-Two Chiliad, an army in the 670th Expedition Fleet, under the guise of intelligence officer Konig Heniker. He also borrowed identities from other dead officers in order to avert suspicion.
一千年后，在叛乱前夕，密会派遣格拉马迪库斯为他们的事业收买阿斯塔特阿尔法军团。密会预见到了荷鲁斯的背叛和即将到来的内战，并相信阿尔法军团及其原体阿尔法瑞斯在即将到来的战争中发挥了重要作用。为此，格拉马迪库斯以情报官员柯尼希·赫尼克的名义潜入了第670远征舰队的基诺52千连团军队。他还借用了其他已故军官的身份，以避免被怀疑。
Eventually, he came to the notice of Alpharius, who captured and questioned him of the Cabal and its intentions. After following Grammaticus's advice to abandon the field on Nurth, which was shortly after consumed by a Black Cube, Alpharius brought his fleet to 42 Hydra Tertius, known to the Cabal as "Eolith," to meet with Grammaticus's masters. In a carefully planned deception, Alpharius used Grammaticus to turn the tables on the Cabal, so that he could meet with them from a position of strength. Grammaticus had been shown what Alpharius and his twin, Omegon, would later see: if Horus was allowed to win the Heresy, the fragment of nobility in his soul would lead to Armageddon - a bloody civil war that would wipe out mankind in two to three generations. This would also wipe out the Dark Gods as well, as they were heavily invested in humanity, thus preserving the galaxy at the cost of the human species. But if the Emperor was successful, stagnation would grip the Imperium; within ten to twenty thousand years, Chaos would consume the entire galaxy.
最终，他引起了阿尔法瑞斯的注意，阿尔法瑞斯抓住了他，并向他询问密会及其意图。在遵循格拉马迪库斯的建议放弃努斯的领地后不久，努斯被一个黑色立方体吞噬，阿尔法瑞斯带着他的舰队来到42九头蛇三号，密会称之为“始石器”，与格拉马迪库斯的主人会面。在一次精心策划的骗局中，阿尔法瑞斯利用格拉马迪库斯扭转了密会的局面，这样他就可以从有利的位置与他们会面。格拉马迪库斯已经看到了阿尔法瑞斯和他的双胞胎兄弟欧米岗后来会看到的情况：如果允许荷鲁斯赢得叛乱，他灵魂中的崇高碎片将导致世界末日 — 一场血腥的内战，将在两到三代人内消灭人类。这也将消灭黑暗诸神，因为他们在人类身上投入了大量资源，从而以人类为代价保护了银河系。但如果帝皇成功了，帝国将陷入停滞；在一万到两万年内，混沌将吞噬整个宇宙。
As the Heresy spread to Calth, John contacted a former colleague there, Oll Persson, through a dream. Trying to convince him to help, Grammaticus showed him a vision of the final battle of the Heresy, Horus standing over Sanguinius's body. The Alpha Legion was set on its path to join with Horus. Believing that he had put into motion the extinction of his own species (or so he thought), Grammaticus threw himself out an airlock of a Cabal vessel, hoping that this death would be his last.
随着叛乱传播到考斯，约翰通过一个梦联系了那里的前战友欧尔·佩松。为了说服他帮忙，格拉马迪库斯向他展示了叛乱最后一战的景象，荷鲁斯站在圣吉列斯的尸体上。阿尔法军团踏上了与荷鲁斯会合的道路。格拉马迪库斯相信他已经开启了自己物种的灭绝（至少他是这么认为的），于是他把自己从密会舰船的气闸中扔了出来，希望这次死亡是他的最后一次。
However, Grammaticus was revealed to be a Perpetual and thus survived his suicide. Eventually taking the guise of an archaeologist named Caeren Sebaton, during the Horus Heresy Grammaticus discovered the existence of the mysterious artifact known as the Fulgurite. Grammaticus set out to Traois to retrieve it for his own ends. However he had been tracked by Word Bearers led by Dark Apostle Valdrekk Elias, who had been tasked by Erebus to retrieve the same artifact. Grammaticus was only saved by the intervention of Pyre Guard Captain Artellus Numeon and his surviving Battle-Brothers, and together the two eventually managed to obtain the Fulgurite. However at this point Grammaticus betrayed Numeon, using a Digital Weapon to blind the Astartes and take the Fulgurite for himself. Grammaticus was then confronted by Elias, who put a Bolt Pistol round into Numeon and demanded the Fulgurite be handed over to him so that he may ascend to Daemonhood. Yet Grammaticus was again saved, this time by Erebus who himself stepped through a Warp Portal and confronted Valdrek, killing the Dark Apostle for attempting to use the Fulgurite for his own plans. Mysteriously, Erebus then instructed Grammaticus to take the Fulgurite and leave Traois, which he did unmolested. After leaving Traois, Grammaticus was again contacted by the Cabal and instructed to head to Macragge with the Fulgurite. There, he was to meet another Primarch and then use the Fulgurite to kill Vulkan. The Cabal promised that once Grammaticus had accomplished this task, he would be free of his obligations to the Cabal forever.
然而，格拉马迪库斯被发现是一个永生者，因此在自杀后幸存下来。最终，在荷鲁斯叛乱时期，格拉马迪库斯伪装成一位名叫卡伦·塞巴顿的考古学家，发现了被称为雷击石的神秘神器的存在。格拉马迪库斯出发去特洛伊斯取回它，以达到自己的目的。然而，他被黑暗使徒瓦尔德鲁克·伊莱亚斯领导的怀言者追踪，后者被艾瑞巴斯派去取回同样的神器。格拉马迪库斯只有在火龙卫队连长阿泰勒斯·努梅昂和他幸存的战斗兄弟的干预下才得以幸存，两人最终共同获得了雷击石。然而，在这一点上，格拉马迪库斯背叛了努梅昂，使用指环武器使阿斯塔特失明，并将雷击石据为己有。格拉马迪库斯随后与伊莱亚斯对峙，伊莱亚斯向努梅昂发射了一枚爆矢手枪子弹，并要求将雷击石交给他，以便他可以升格为魔裔。然而，格拉马迪库斯再次得救，这一次是艾瑞巴斯，他自己穿过亚空间传送门，与瓦尔德鲁克对峙，杀死了试图将雷击石用于自己计划的黑暗使徒。艾瑞巴斯随后神秘地指示格拉马迪库斯带走雷击石，离开特洛伊斯，他没有受到干扰。离开特洛伊斯后，格拉马迪库斯再次被密会联系，并被指示与雷击石一起前往马库拉格。在那里，他将会见另一位原体，然后利用雷击石杀死沃坎。密会承诺，一旦格拉马迪库斯完成了这项任务，他将永远摆脱对密会的义务。
Shortly afterwards John traveled to Macragge with fellow Perpetual Damon Prytanis, where the duo planned to assassinate Vulkan. During a brief period when he was alone John was contacted by Eldrad Ulthran, who was revealed to be the mysterious voice he had heard on Traoris. Ulthran revealed to John that he opposed the Cabal's aims and that their belief that Horus would usher in Chaos's ultimate demise was not set in stone. He believed that humanity were meant to be the firebreak against Chaos, and that without them the Eldar would fall and the galaxy shortly afterwards. He offered John a way to leave the Cabal and a chance to stop being a traitor to his own race, as John had begun to consider himself. Re-joining with Damon the Perpetuals joined forces with Barthusa Narek who had tracked John to Ultramar to take back the Fulgurite, instead he agreed to allow them to kill Vulkan with it if they would give it to him afterwards so that he might kill Lorgar. During the crisis that followed the trio interrupted the fight between Konrad Curze and Vulkan with the intent of ending him. Deciding at the last moment to side with his own race John used the Fulgurite to heal Vulkan of the madness that had consumed him, though it left him in a death-like coma and reduced John from Perpetual to an ordinary mortal.
不久之后，约翰和另一个名叫达蒙·普莱塔尼斯的人前往马库拉格，两人计划在那里暗杀沃坎。在约翰独自一人的短暂时期，埃尔德拉德·乌索然联系了他，乌索然被发现是他在泰拉奥里斯岛上听到的神秘声音。乌索然向约翰透露，他反对密会的目标，他们相信荷鲁斯会带来混沌的最终灭亡，但这并不是板上钉钉的。他相信，人类注定是对抗混沌的防火带，没有他们，灵族就会倒下，银河系也会很快灭亡。他为约翰提供了一种离开密会的方法，以及一个停止背叛自己种族的机会，因为约翰已经开始考虑自己了。与达蒙重新联手，永生者与巴图萨·纳瑞克联手，后者曾追踪约翰到奥特拉玛夺回雷击石，相反，他同意允许他们用它杀死沃坎，如果他们后来把它交给他，这样他就可以杀死珞珈。在随后的危机中，三人打断了康拉德·科兹和沃坎之间的战斗，意图终结他。在最后一刻，约翰决定站在自己的种族一边，用雷击石治愈了吞噬他的疯狂的沃坎，尽管这让他陷入了死亡般的昏迷，并使约翰从永生者变成了一个普通的凡人。
John later woke up on an unknown Craftworld being tended to by Eldar. Damon informed him of his new mortal status and that his next death would be permanent, and that the Cabal had one final mission for him. And a way of ensuring that he would do it.
约翰后来醒来，发现正在一个未知的方舟世界被照料。达蒙告诉他自己的新身份，他的下一次死亡将是永久性的，密会对他有一个最后的任务。以及一种确保他会这样做的方法。
John was effectively taken prisoner by Damon Prytanis, held in an Eldar facility that created illusions to resemble a farm. However the facility was eventually infiltrated by Eldrad Ulthran and Barthusa Narek who after a struggle slew Prytanis with a piece of Fulgurite. Eldrad asked John where Ollanius Persson was, to which the psyker answered that he did not know. The Farseer and Narek then took Grammaticus and stepped into a Webway Portal.
约翰实际上被达蒙·普莱塔尼斯俘虏，关押在灵族的一个设施里，该设施制造了类似农场的幻觉。然而，该设施最终被埃尔德拉德·乌索然和巴图萨·纳瑞克渗透，他们在一场战斗后用一块雷击石杀死了普莱塔尼斯。埃尔德拉德问约翰欧兰尼奥斯·佩松在哪里，灵能者回答说他不知道。先知和纳瑞克随后带着格拉马迪库斯走进了一个网道门户。
Argonaut 阿尔戈英雄
Using a pair of Eldar scissors that could cut through space and time that were given to him by Eldrad, John Grammaticus appeared near the ruins of Ababa Hive on Terra during the Siege. He made his way across the devastated world, eventually reaching Guelb in Mauritania. This was the home of the powerful Perpetual Erda, who was at first dismissive of John and his goal of reaching the interior of the Imperial Palace. John knew he could not defeat Horus, but thought he could save Humanity by reaching the Emperor and stopping His ambitions. Erda was shocked to discover that John had recruited Oll Persson to his cause but told John he had not yet arrived. John became worried, as he had plan to rendezvous at Erda's home with Persson.Erda later was able to determine that Persson was due to arrive at Terra two weeks from John, and gave him her Space Marine prototype protector Leetu to aid him in his quest to find Oll.
在围城期间，约翰·格拉马迪库斯使用埃尔德拉德给他的一把可以剪断空间和时间的灵族剪刀，出现在泰拉上的亚贝巴巢都废墟附近。他穿越了满目疮痍的世界，最终到达了毛里塔尼亚的古尔布。这是强大的永生者尔达的家，她起初对约翰和他进入皇宫内部的目标不屑一顾。约翰知道他无法击败荷鲁斯，但认为他可以通过接触帝皇并阻止他的野心来拯救人类。尔达震惊地发现，约翰已经招募了欧兰尼奥斯·佩松加入他的事业，但他告诉约翰，他还没有到达。约翰开始担心了，因为他计划在尔达家和佩松会合。尔达后来确定佩松将在两周后从约翰抵达泰拉，并将她的原型原型星际战士保护者勒图交给了他，以帮助他寻找欧尔。
John and Leetu managed to track down John and his group of survivors from Calth to Hatay-Antakya Hive in the East Phoenician Wastes. However the group were now in the clutches of "paradise", a dream-farm of the Emperor's Children. After attempting to commune with Oll psychically for a time, John and Leetu found themselves trapped within the Emperor's Children domain as well. Within the dream-realm, John witnessed Oll's memory and learned of his past as the Emperor's Warmaster in Terra's ancient history. Ultimately, the group were aided by Actaea and a Space Marine identifying himself as Alpharius. John plead with Oll to not accept their aid, stating Actaea wreaked of Chaos. However John decided to let the new duo accompany them on their quest.
约翰和勒图设法找到了约翰和他的幸存者小队，从考斯到东腓尼基荒原的哈塔伊-安塔基亚巢都。然而，这群人现在已经落入了“天堂”的魔爪，这是帝皇之子的梦想农场。在尝试与欧尔进行一段时间的灵能交流后，约翰和勒图发现自己也被困在了帝皇之子的领地内。在梦境中，约翰目睹了欧尔的记忆，并了解了他在泰拉古代历史上作为帝皇的战帅的过去。最终，该小队得到了阿克泰娅和一名自称为阿尔法瑞斯的星际战士的帮助。约翰恳求欧兰不要接受他们的援助，称阿克泰娅为混沌。然而，约翰决定让这对新人陪伴他们踏上这段旅程。
Together, the group now dubbed by John as the "Argonauts" acquired an Arvus Lighter and flew to the Imperial Palace across Terra's ravaged landscape. However as they crossed the frontline, they were shot down and crashed into the Inner Palace. John and the others were guided by "Alpharius" into hidden passages with the intent to reach the Sanctum Imperialis. Within the depths of a secret entrance into the Palace, John learned that this "Alpharius" was actually Ingo Pech, who plead with John for help to free him from the control of Actae, who intended to use him to her own ends. During their discussion, John was saved by Mathias Herzog by Pech.
现在被约翰称为“阿尔戈英雄”的这群人一起获得了一架阿维鲁斯轻型运输艇，并穿过泰拉被破坏的景观飞往皇宫。然而，当他们越过前线时，他们被击落并撞向了内殿。约翰和其他人被“阿尔法瑞斯”引导进入隐藏的通道，意图到达帝国圣殿。在进入宫殿的秘密入口深处，约翰得知这个“阿尔法瑞斯”实际上是因格·佩克，他恳求约翰帮助他摆脱阿克泰的控制，阿克泰打算利用他来达到自己的目的。在他们的讨论中，佩克让马蒂亚斯·赫尔佐格救下了约翰。
John eventually neutralized Pech by attaching a motion-sensitive mine to the Marine as he confronted Actae about her plans. However thanks to Oll's defense of Actae, John decided to spare her but knew as long as Herzog was conditioned to obey the witch he was too dangerous to be allowed to continue. John vowed to one day return and free Pech, but for now the group left the immobilized Pech behind as they finally reached the Imperial Dungeon and were willingly detained by Custodes. Upon finally reaching the Golden Throne however, the group was met with Vulkan, as the Emperor had since departed to the Vengeful Spirit to fight Horus.
约翰最终在星际战士与阿克泰就她的计划对峙时，将一枚动作感应地雷附在了星际战士身上，从而使佩克中立化。然而，由于欧尔为阿克泰辩护，约翰决定饶了她，但他知道只要赫尔佐格有条件服从女巫，他就太危险了，不能继续下去。约翰发誓有一天会回来并释放佩克，但现在，当他们最终到达帝国地牢并被禁军自愿拘留时，这群人把无法动弹的佩克留在了后面。然而，当他们最终登上黄金王座时，他们遇到了沃坎，因为帝皇已经离开前往复仇之魂号与荷鲁斯作战。
While briefly detained under Vulkan's orders, the group became separated from Imperial custody due to the Warp-madness spreading across Terra as the Siege entered its final stages. Following a mysterious spool of thread that John believed had been left behind by them in the future, they instead encountered Erebus. In the ensuing struggle, all of the group save John, Oll, and Leetu were slain while Actae was buried under rubble. John was badly injured in the fight, with his jaw and arm broken. Nonetheless, John and Leetu were able to convince the despondent Ollanius to continue on their quest. They eventually encountered the Emperor as He was about to fully transform into the Dark King, but Ollanius was able to talk his own friend down from the path to corruption. As the Emperor threw off the powers of the Warp, He let out a blast of energy that healed those nearby including John. However the Emperor ordered John and Ollanius to take up their spool of thread and retrace their steps in order to close the stable timeloop they had begun.
虽然在沃坎的命令下被短暂拘留，但随着围城进入最后阶段，由于亚空间疯狂蔓延到泰拉，该组织与帝国的拘留分开。约翰认为他们在未来留下了一根神秘的线，于是他们遇到了艾瑞巴斯。在随后的战斗中，除了约翰、欧尔和勒图，所有人都被杀害，而阿克泰则被埋在瓦砾下。约翰在打斗中受了重伤，下巴和手臂都断了。尽管如此，约翰和勒图还是说服了沮丧的欧兰尼奥斯继续他们的探索。他们最终遇到了帝皇，他即将完全转变为黑暗之王，但欧兰尼奥斯能够说服自己的朋友远离腐化之路。当帝皇摆脱亚空间的力量时，他释放出一股能量，治愈了附近的人，包括约翰。然而，帝皇命令约翰和欧兰尼奥斯拿起他们的线轴，往回走，以结束他们已经开始的稳定的时间循环。
However while they undertook their task, Oll discovered that their shattered Athame blade had since been restored by the Emperor. Feeling that they needed to return to the Emperor's side immediately to give him the weapon, Oll ordered Actae to teleport he and John to Lupercal's Court. The act proved difficult, but the duo eventually emerged directly at the feet of Horus just as he stood over the defeated Emperor. Horrified by the monster before them, John was able to briefly stun Horus with a word of Enuncia he had gleamed from Oll's memories. Oll rushed to the Emperor's side and decided to stay behind to protect his old friend, but ordered John run. John was eventually convinced to flee back and continue their original task of closing their time loop.
然而，当他们执行任务时，欧尔发现他们破碎的仪式之刃已经被帝皇修复了。感觉他们需要立即回到帝皇身边把武器交给他，欧尔命令阿克泰将他和约翰传送到卢佩卡尔王庭。事实证明，这一行为很困难，但当荷鲁斯站在战败的帝皇面前时，两人最终直接出现在荷鲁斯脚下。约翰被眼前的怪物吓坏了，他能够用欧尔记忆中闪现的暗言短暂地让荷鲁斯眩晕。欧尔冲到帝皇身边，决定留下来保护他的老朋友，但命令约翰逃跑。约翰最终被说服逃跑，继续完成他们最初的任务，即关闭时间循环。
After the Siege of Terra had been concluded, John is seen wandering space and time, leaving behind small knots of threads at specific locations in ancient Earth's history to ensure their future selves know the way. He uses a feather recovered from Sanguinius' corpse to jump between points.
在泰拉围城结束后，人们看到约翰在空间和时间中游荡，在古代泰拉历史的特定位置留下了一小团线，以确保他们未来的自己知道路。他用从圣吉列斯尸体上找到的羽毛在两点之间跳跃。
