The Illuminati are a secret society, existing beyond even the Emperor's knowledge, but manipulating and interpreting the Imperial Will to bring about their objectives.
光照会是一个秘密团体，其存在甚至超出了帝皇的了解范围，但他们操纵和解释了帝国意志，以实现他们的目标。
Overview 概述
Every member is a part of the society by virtue of being "illuminated" through the experience of daemonic possession, and finally salvation. Possessed by a daemon, they have done what seems impossible, exorcising the daemon from their body through their own sheer will.
每个成员都是社会的一部分，因为他们通过恶魔附身的经历被“照亮”，最终获得救赎。被恶魔附身，他们做了看似不可能的事情，通过自己的纯粹意志将恶魔从体内驱逐。
In most cases, a daemonhost does not survive possession - the victim is eventually driven insane, or the mind is driven out of the host body so that the daemon takes complete control of it. A daemon can exist indefinitely within a host, with the possessed host often continuing their mortal life. Sometimes a strong-willed host can put up some resistance and preserve their self within a tenuous corner of the possessed brain. The host mind survives as a mere helpless witness as the daemon uses the mortal body to wreak its terrible acts. In a few instances, however, an individual has managed to cast the daemon from their body.
在大多数情况下，恶魔宿主无法存活 — 受害者最终会精神失常，或者思想被赶出宿主躯体，使恶魔完全控制它。恶魔可以无限期地存在于宿主内，被占据的宿主通常会继续他们的生命。有时，意志坚强的宿主可以做出一些抵抗，将自己保存在被附身的思想的一个脆弱角落里。当恶魔利用凡人的身体进行其可怕的行为时，宿主的思想只是一个无助的目击者。然而，在少数情况下，一个人已经设法将恶魔从他们的身体中驱逐。
The Illuminati have been 'illuminated' to the terror of Chaos. Sharing a mind with a daemon, they have gained the most intimate understanding of Chaos. Having mastered the Chaos within themselves, they are immune to its temptations and corruption, and they now fight it in the broader universe. As they share a common enemy, the Illuminati are frequently involved on some level with the Eldar, in particular the Harlequins. The Illuminati are some of the very few allowed access to the Eldar's Black Library of Chaos. They know of the Fall of the Eldar, and seek to prevent the same from happening to Man.
光照会已经被混沌的恐怖“照亮”了。与恶魔共享思维，他们对混沌有了最深入的了解。在掌握了自己内心的混沌之后，他们对它的诱惑和腐化免疫，现在他们在更广阔的宇宙中与之斗争。由于他们有着共同的敌人，光照会经常在某种程度上与灵族，特别是丑角有牵连。光照会是少数获准进入灵族混沌黑图书馆的人之一。他们知道灵族的堕落，并试图防止同样的事情发生在人类身上。
The Illuminatis' experiences have brought them to a level of harsh realism that has no equal. The Illuminati are devoted solely to mankind's preservation. Ultimately, this goal involves plotting to bring about the rebirth of the Emperor of Mankind. They realize the Emperor's mind is failing, His will fragmenting into warring parts, and that there will come a time where the Emperor has deteriorated to the point where His will finally breaks. Without the Emperor, mankind will fall to Chaos. The Illuminati plan to rejuvenate the Emperor by sacrificing His descendants, the Sensei, at the moment the Emperor's will finally fails. The Emperor will be reborn, as the Sensei-Emperor, to again lead humanity directly. Their plans are a carefully kept secret; should the Emperor learn their plan, He may see no reason to continue to endure, and allow Himself to die prematurely. Should the Sensei learn, they may be unwilling to meet their intended fate.
光照会的经历使他们达到了无与伦比的严酷现实主义水平。光照会只致力于保护人类。最终，这一目标涉及策划人类帝皇的重生。他们意识到帝皇的意志正在崩溃，他的意志正在分裂成交战的部分，而且终有一天，皇帝的意志会恶化到最终崩溃的地步。没有帝皇，人类将堕入混沌。光照会计划在帝皇的意志最终失败之际，通过牺牲他的后代导师来重振帝皇。帝皇将转世，成为导师-帝皇，再次直接领导人类。他们的计划是严格保密的；如果帝皇得知他们的计划，他可能会认为没有理由继续忍受，并允许自己过早死亡。如果导师知道了，他们可能不愿意面对他们想要的命运。
The Illuminati influence events to pave the way for the Emperor's rebirth, and gather together the Sensei, protecting them from the persecution of the Inquisition.
光照会影响事件，为帝皇的重生铺平道路，并召集导师，保护他们免受审判庭的迫害。
The Ordo Malleus of the Inquisition know of the Illuminati, considering them dangerous heretics. They fear the Illuminati's plans are influenced by Chaos. The Ordo Malleus are devoted to wiping out the Illuminati and Sensei whenever they come across them, while in this secret war, the Illuminati engage in a campaign of confusion and disinformation against the Ordo Malleus.
审判庭的圣锤修会知道光照会，认为他们是危险的异端。他们担心光照会的计划受到混沌的影响。圣锤修会致力于在遇到光照会和导师时消灭他们，而在这场秘密战争中，光照会参与了一场针对圣锤修会的混乱和虚假信息行动。
Many Illuminati are also Inquisitors, which gives the brotherhood much more power and influence.
许多光照会教徒也是审判官，这给了兄弟会更多的权力和影响力。
Furthermore, within the Illuminati there is an even more extreme faction known as the Ordo Hydra that seeks to save mankind by linking the mind of every individual through a warp entity known as the Hydra, thereby psychically unifying mankind into one being under the control of the Ordo Hydra themselves.
此外，在光照会内部，有一个更极端的派系，称为九头蛇修会，它试图通过一个名为九头蛇的亚空间实体将每个人的思想联系起来来拯救人类，从而在心理上将人类统一为一个受九头蛇修会控制的存在。
