Biography 传记

Arkhan Land was one of the most legendary and gifted members of the Mechanicum even in the age of the Great Crusade. By the age of five, he could speak over 50 dialects and quickly became a renowned Tech-Priest who was able to successfully navigate the hazardous catacombs and tech-vaults beneath Mars' surface and recover STC fragments and artifacts. Known to the greater Mechanicum as an unparalleled genius but also arrogant and disrespectful, he was also notable for having few outward bionic enhancements.

即使在大远征时期，阿坎·兰德也是机械教最具传奇色彩和天赋的成员之一。到五岁时，他能说50多种方言，并迅速成为一名著名的技术神甫，他能够成功地在火星表面下的危险地下墓穴和技术秘库中导航，并回收STC碎片和造物。被更大的机械教称为无与伦比的天才，但也傲慢无礼，他也以很少进行外部仿生增强而闻名。

First Expedition 第一次探险

Land led a three-year expedition into the Librarius Omnis in search of a functioning STC database, resulting in the recovery of the blueprints for Land's Raider-Pattern Main Battle Tank, Land's Crawler multi-purpose heavy utility vehicle, the Mars Universal Land Engine (the basis of the Onager Dunecrawler), and the information on rare anti-gravitic plates used in Land's Speeder, all of which are named for him. In the 41st Millennium, some sources incorrectly state he died before seeing the practical implementation of the anti-gravitic plates he discovered.

兰德率领一支为期三年的远征队进入火星大图书馆，寻找可运作的STC数据库。此次远征成功回收了兰德掠袭者型主战坦克、兰德爬行者多用途重型工程车、火星通用兰德引擎（沙丘爬行者的基础）的蓝图，以及兰德速攻艇所用的稀有反重力板的技术资料，这些装备均以他命名。在第41个千年的部分记载中，一些消息来源错误地说，他在看到他发现的反重力块的实际应用之前就去世了。

Land's discoveries drew the attention of the Emperor of Mankind, his discoveries finding wide use in the Legio Custodes who used a variety of Grav-Tanks powered by Land's anti-gravitic plates as well as the Paragon Pattern Jetbike. Shortly after the recovery of Angron, Arkhan Land was personally assigned by the Emperor to aid Him in His attempt to cure the Primarch of the Butcher's Nails. Only Land could confirm the Emperor's belief that the Butcher's Nails were based on the ancient cruciamen, a technology referred to in profane texts in the Hexarchion Vaults.

兰德的发现引起了人类帝皇的关注，其成果在禁军中得到广泛应用，禁军装备了多种由兰德反重力板供能的反重力坦克，以及典范型悬浮摩托。安格隆回归后不久，阿坎·兰德就被帝皇亲自指派，帮助他治愈原体的屠夫之钉。只有兰德可以证实帝皇的看法，即屠夫之钉是基于古代的钻心者，这是一种在六头秘库的亵渎文本中提到的技术。

Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱

Land revered the Emperor as the Omnissiah, and as such stayed loyal to him during the Horus Heresy. He was evacuated from Mars by Sergeant Nicanor Tullus of the Imperial Fists on the orders of First Captain Sigismund. As Land and Tullus made their way to the lander that would take them to safety, they were attacked by a Vorax Class Robot sent by the Dark Mechanicum to kill Land rather than let his talents be removed to Terra. Tullus gave his life to buy Land the time to escape along with other loyalist Tech-Priests.

兰德将帝皇尊为欧姆尼赛亚，因此在荷鲁斯叛乱期间忠于他。根据西吉斯蒙德连长的命令，帝国之拳军士尼卡诺·图卢斯将他从火星撤离。当兰德和图卢斯前往将他们带到安全地带的登陆艇时，他们遭到了黑暗机械师教来的沃拉克斯级机兵的攻击，准备杀死兰德，而不是让他的天赋被转移到泰拉。图卢斯用自己的生命救下了兰德，并与其他忠诚的技术神甫一起逃离。

Arkhan Land and Sapien during the Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱时期的阿坎·兰德和萨皮恩

Although he and Fabricator General Kane shared a mutual disdain for one another, Land's knowledge of forbidden weaponisation gleaned from the Hexarchion Vaults and good standing with the Custodes prompted Kane to seek his assistance in the ascension of Magos Domina Hieronyma into the Archimandrite. He accompanied the Archimandrite into the webway, bringing his personal Grav-Raider and Psyber-Monkey Sapien with him. When they arrived in Calastar as it was falling to the enemy, Land was visibly shaken by the sight of daemons.

尽管他和铸造将军凯恩相互蔑视，但兰德从六头秘库收集到的关于禁止武器化的知识以及与禁军的良好关系促使凯恩寻求他的帮助，将统御贤者希罗尼玛提升为技术牧首。他同技术牧首进入网道，带着他的私人反重力掠袭者和灵能猿猴萨皮恩。当他们到达卡拉斯塔时，卡拉斯塔正落入敌人之手，兰德明显被恶魔的景象所震撼。

Following the Webway War, Land began spending much time with fellow veteran Dominion Zephon of the Blood Angels. Zephon's bionic limbs were constantly rejected by his body, so Land agreed to repair them. To bypass the bodily rejection, Land inserted fragments of a Dark Age of Technology-era Artificial Intelligence into Zephon's limbs and brain. The operation was a success and Zephon's limbs were finally accepted by his body, and in exchange Land demanded an audience with Sanguinius likely to lobby for the reclamation of Mars from the Dark Mechanicus.

网道战争后，兰德开始花很多时间与圣血天使的老兵统御者泽丰在一起。泽丰的仿生肢体不断被他的身体排斥，所以兰德同意修复它们。为了绕过身体的排斥反应，兰德将黑暗技术时代的人工智能片段插入了泽丰的四肢和大脑。这次行动取得了成功，泽丰的四肢终于被他的身体所接受，作为交换，兰德要求与圣吉列斯会面，他可能会游说从黑暗机械教手中夺回火星。

During the Siege of Terra, Land managed to narrowly survive despite the ever-decreasing loyalist territory. Declaring he was too important to die, he managed to attach himself to convoys which fled into the Sanctum Imperialis. During this, he managed to nurse the wounded Dominion Zephon back to health from his injuries. Arkhan barely survived the journey back to the Sanctum Imperialis, but was pressed into service against his will to take part in the final defense of the Eternity Gate against hopeless odds. The night before the battle Land was comforted by both Zephon and the Skitarii Transacta-7Y1, though the Blood Angel ordered him to protect his three Bloodthralls Eristes, Shafia, and Shenkai in the coming struggle. Should he abandon these thralls, Zephon pledged to hunt him down and kill him regardless of outcome.This combined with Sanguinius' rousing speech seemed to force some bravery into Land, who courageously took part in the defense of the Eternity Gate.

在泰拉围城期间，尽管忠诚者的领土不断减少，兰德还是勉强生存了下来。他宣称自己太重要了，不能死，于是设法加入了逃往帝国圣地的车队。在此期间，他设法将受伤的统御者泽丰从伤病中恢复过来。阿坎在返回帝国圣地的旅程中几乎没有幸存下来，但他被迫违背自己的意愿，参加了永恒之门的最后防御。战斗前一天晚上，泽丰和护教军坦斯达-7Y1都安慰了兰德，尽管圣血天使命令他在即将到来的战斗中保护他的三个血奴厄里斯忒斯、沙菲亚和申凯。如果他放弃这些奴隶，泽丰承诺无论结果如何，都会追捕并杀死他。这与圣吉列斯鼓舞人心的演讲相结合，似乎迫使一些勇敢的人加入兰德，他们勇敢地参与了永恒之门的防御。

During the final stages of the battle, two of the three thralls he was charged with protecting were killed in action and Land, Transacta-7Y1, and the sole remaining Thrall fled back to the Eternity Gate. However both Transacta and Land's psyber-monkey Sapian were killed by the World Eater Kargos Bloodspitter before Land and Shenkai were saved by Zephon. As the Eternity Gate sealed shut, Land and his entourage managed to make it inside the Sanctum.

在战斗的最后阶段，他负责保护的三名奴隶中有两名在战斗中丧生，而兰德，坦斯达-7Y1和唯一剩下的奴隶逃回了永恒之门。然而，在兰德和申凯被泽丰救出之前，坦斯达和兰德的灵能猿猴萨皮恩都被吞世者吐血者卡尔戈斯杀死了。当永恒之门关闭时，兰德和他的随从设法进入了圣所。

Second Expedition 第二次探险

Land went missing while leading a second expedition into Librarius Omnis, with his vox diary being found two centuries later. He and his team were believed to have been picked off one by one by an unknown predator, possibly a psychic entity or a sentient virus. Other sources state that Land was killed by a psychic entity.

兰德在第二次带领探险队进入火星大图书馆时失踪，两个世纪后，他的音阵日志被发现。他和他的团队被认为是被一个未知的捕食者一个接一个地抓走的，可能是一个灵能实体或一种有感知力的病毒。其他消息来源称，兰德是被一个灵能实体杀害的。

Legacy 遗留

Land is so revered a figure in the Adeptus Mechanicus that his followers amount to a sub-cult that call themselves Landites (or Landists). They seek to continue the work of Land and research the many STC variants of his work.

兰德在机械神教中是一个受人尊敬的人物，他的追随者组成了一个自称兰德学派（或兰德派）的分教派。他们试图继续兰德的工作，并研究他的许多STC变体。

Trivia 琐事

• Belisarius Cawl, or perhaps Ezekiel Sedayne, had once known Arkhan Land. Cawl has memories of Land from before the Horus Heresy, when Land had his strange simian brain familiar that he had cooked up. More poignantly, the archmagos recalls that Land was never happy with the name given to his tanks. Land had been quite angry with the name "Land's Raider".

• 贝利撒留·考尔，或者以西结·赛丹，曾经知道阿坎·兰德。考尔对兰德的记忆来自荷鲁斯叛乱之前，当时兰德有着他熟悉的奇怪的似猿大脑。更令人感慨的是，大贤者回忆起兰德从未对赋予其坦克的名字感到满意。兰德对“兰德袭击者”这个名字非常愤怒。

• In older media, Arkhan Land's first name is sometimes spelled "Arkan".

• 在旧媒体中，阿坎·兰德的名字有时拼写为“Arkan”。
