"For eleven hundred years, I have fought and I have seen the darkness in our galaxy. I have seen the vileness of the alien and the heresy of the mutant. I have witnessed the sin of possession. I have seen all the evil that the galaxy harbours, and I have slain all whose presence defiles the Emperor. I have seen what you will see. I have fought what you must fight, and I have slain what you must slay... so fear not and be proud, for we are the sons of Sanguinius, the protectors of Mankind. Aye, we are indeed the Angels of Death."
“一千一百年来,我一直在战斗,我看到了我们银河系的黑暗。我看到了外星人的卑劣和变种人的异端邪说。我目睹了占据之罪。我见过银河系所隐藏的所有邪恶,我杀死了所有亵渎帝皇的人。我已经看到了你会看到的。我已经为你必须战斗的东西而战,我也为你必须杀死的东西而战……所以不要害怕,也不要骄傲,因为我们是人类的保护者,圣吉列斯之子。是的,我们确实是死亡天使。”
Dante is the current Chapter Master of the Blood Angels. Commander Dante is one of the most experienced and able Space Marine commanders. In no small part, this is due to the longevity of the Blood Angels, which he has ruled for 1,100 years. Dante is the oldest living Space Marine in the Imperium (excluding Dreadnoughts) and is held in awe by leaders of other Chapters, who can remember him being a famous commander when they were in the Scout Company.
但丁是圣血天使的现任战团长。指挥官但丁是最有经验和能力的星际战士指挥官之一。在很大程度上,这是由于他控制了1100年的圣血天使的长寿。但丁是帝国(不包括无畏)中现存最古老的星际战士,其他战团的领导人对他怀有敬畏之情,在他们在侦察连队时,已经记得但丁是一位著名的指挥官了。

Commander Dante 指挥官但丁
Early life 早期生活
Luis Dante was born in 447.M40 on Baal Secundus (Baal's second moon) and his growth was stunted by malnutrition and radiation. Dante was part of his planet's salt clans, a nomadic people that travelled the salt deserts (former seas) of Baal Secundus to harvest its salt, selling it at various permanent settlements at the salt deserts' borders. His mother died giving birth to his stillborn younger brother, and he was thus raised by his father Arreas. His childhood was hard, with his clan facing dangerous wildlife, human raiders, and an extremely hostile environment; most clan members died before their 30th year. From an early age, Dante felt the desire to help others and make a difference; thus, he was drawn to the idea of becoming a Blood Angel. His father, who did not want to lose his last living relative, forbid him from partaking in the Angel's Fall trials to determine the next Aspirants. Undeterred, Dante regretfully left in secret, crossing the Great Salt Waste alone to reach the trials. He almost died of thirst, but also first experienced a vision of the Sanguinor who guided him to a mummified corpse with intact water flasks, saving his life and allowing him to continue his journey.
路易斯·但丁出生于447.M40,在巴尔的第二个卫星巴尔二号上,他的生长受到营养不良和辐射的阻碍。但丁是他行星上盐氏族的一部分,这是一个游牧民族,他们前往巴尔二号的盐沙漠(前海洋)收割盐,并在盐沙漠边界的各个永久定居点出售。他的母亲在生下死产的弟弟时去世,因此他由父亲阿雷亚斯抚养长大。他的童年很艰难,他的家族面临着危险的野兽、人类袭击者和极其恶劣的环境;大多数氏族成员在30岁之前就死去了。但丁从小就渴望帮助他人,有所作为;因此,他被成为圣血天使的想法所吸引。他的父亲不想失去他最后一个在世的血亲,禁止他参加天使降临试炼,以确定下一个有志者。但丁并没有被吓倒,他遗憾地秘密离开,独自穿越大盐荒地去参加试炼。他几乎渴死了,但也第一次体验到圣吉列诺的幻象,圣吉列诺带领他找到一具带着完整水瓶的木乃伊尸体,救了他的命,让他继续他的旅程。
When he took part in his clans trials at the Place of Challenge he showed no special promise, but nonetheless survived. Afterwards he was inducted by Chaplain Malafael into the Blood Angels Chapter as an Aspirant under Sanguinary Priest Araezon. He first drew notice when during his transformation after drinking the gene-seed synthesized blood of Sanguinius, he went into a year long coma and cried out the names of fallen primarchs, dark gods, and long-banished Daemons. Upon emerging Dante was trained to become a battle-brother, then Brother-Sergeant. He reached the rank of Captain in 753.M40. Later he took part in the Kallius Insurrection of M40, where every Captain of the Blood Angels but Dante himself was slain, and it was decided by the gathered Chaplains and Sanguinary Priests that he would become the new Chapter Master.
当他在挑战之地参加氏族试炼时,他没有表现出特别的希望,但还是活了下来。之后,他被牧师马拉法尔引入圣血天使战团,成为圣血牧师阿拉松手下的一名有志者。他第一次引起注意是在他喝了圣吉列斯的基因种子合成血液后的转变过程中,他陷入了长达一年的昏迷,并大声呼喊着堕落的原体、黑暗诸神和长期被放逐的恶魔的名字。但丁一出现,就被训练成一名战斗兄弟,然后是兄弟军士。他于753.M40晋升为连长。后来,他参加了M40的卡利乌斯叛乱,在那里,除了但丁本人,所有圣血天使的连长都被杀了,聚集在一起的牧师和圣血牧师决定他将成为新的战团长。
Chapter Master 战团长
His very presence inspires troops to acts of valour that are extraordinary even for Space Marines. Because of this reputation, when it came to choosing a leader for the Armageddon intervention, the Masters of the other two Chapters taking part (the Salamanders and the Ultramarines) unanimously asked for him to be placed in charge. Dante is a legend not just amongst the Blood Angels but also amongst the common citizenry of the Imperium, to whom he is a saviour, a golden-armoured hero who descends to save them in their darkest hour.
他的存在激发了部队的英勇行为,即使对星际战士来说也是非同寻常的。由于这一声誉,当涉及到为介入阿玛吉多顿选择一位领导者时,其他两个参与的战团(火蜥蜴和极限战士)的战团长一致要求由他负责。但丁不仅是圣血天使中的传奇人物,也是帝国普通公民中的传奇,他是救世主,是一位金甲英雄,在他们最黑暗的时刻降临拯救他们。

Dante 但丁
Commander Dante has led the Blood Angels to some of their greatest victories, from the bloody campaigns in Ultima Macharia to the Liberation of Canau. He clove the mighty Bloodthirster Skarbrand in two at the Gates of Pandemonium and drove the Orks from the twelve worlds of Blackfang.
指挥官但丁带领圣血天使取得了一些最伟大的胜利,从极限马卡里亚的血腥战役到卡诺的解放。他在混乱之门将强大的嗜血狂魔斯卡布兰德一分为二,并将欧克赶出了黑牙的十二个世界。
Perhaps his most famous victories were in the Second War for Armageddon, where his leadership allowed the beleaguered defenders to triumph over the fury of Waaagh! Ghazghkull. There he led the valiant strike against the Orks attacking Hive Acheron, where the horde was ripped asunder by cannon and bomb as Dante spearheaded the reinforcements. And it was in the closing stages of the war that Dante's tactical genius finally broke the back of the Ork army, leading a massed Drop Pod assault against the Orks assaulting Hive Tartarus, his Blood Angels slaying fully half of the Orks and driving them back to the ash wastes and jungles.
也许他最著名的胜利是在第二次阿玛吉多顿战争中,他的领导使陷入困境的守军战胜了碎骨者的Waaagh!的怒火。在那里,他领导了对攻击黄泉巢都的兽人的英勇打击,但丁率领援军,在那里,部落被大炮和炸弹撕裂。正是在战争的最后阶段,但丁的天才战术终于突破了欧克军队的防线,领导了一场大规模的空投舱袭击了欧克,袭击了塔尔塔罗斯巢都,他的圣血天使杀死了整整一半的欧克并将他们赶回了灰烬废墟和丛林。
In the closing days of the 41st Millennium, heroes like Dante were points of light in the growing darkness. He stood, as he had done for a millennium or more, between the enemies of Mankind and the Imperium.
在第41个千年的最后几天,像但丁这样的英雄是日益黑暗中的亮点。他站在人类之敌和帝国之间,就像他在一千年或更长时间里所做的那样。
As a leader, Dante is utterly fearless, and full of drive and initiative. If his opponents ever make a mistake, Dante is on it in a flash, and he always exploits their error to the fullest. He has a reputation for leading from the front and can usually be found where the battle is fiercest. Plummeting from the skies at the head of his personal bodyguard, a halo of power playing around his head.
作为领导者,但丁无所畏惧,充满干劲和主动性。如果他的对手犯了错误,但丁很快就会发现,他总是充分利用他们的错误。他以在前线领导而闻名,通常可以在战斗最激烈的地方找到他。在他的个人护卫的头上从空中降落,一个动力光环在他的头上。
Yet for all of his success, or perhaps because of it, Dante had grown weary of his burdens. He had lived far longer than he should, and the burden of centuries grew even weightier. Only one thing prevented Dante from succumbing to ennui- recorded in the Scrolls of Sanguinius were the Primarchs visions of a great battle to overshadow all others, where one golden warrior would stand between his Emperor and the darkness. For many generations of the Blood Angels, these prophecies had been read as Sanguinius's foreknowledge of his own fate. Yet through some instinct- perhaps a lingering trace of his Primarch's fabled far-seeing eye, or his own prophetic dreams of the golden warrior, Dante believed otherwise. He frequently believed that one day, the defence of the Emperor would possibly rest in his hands, and he aimed to fulfil that final duty.
然而,尽管但丁取得了成功,或者也许正因为如此,他已经厌倦了自己的负担。他活得比他应该活得长得多,几个世纪的负担变得更加沉重。只有一件事阻止了但丁屈服于厌倦 — 在《圣吉列斯之卷》中记录的,原体们对一场伟大战斗的愿景,这场战斗将掩盖所有其他战斗,在这场战斗中,一位黄金战士将站在他的帝皇和黑暗之间。对于圣血天使的许多代人来说,这些预言被解读为圣吉列斯对自己命运的预知。然而,出于某种本能 — 也许是他传说中的原体的远见卓识的挥之不去的痕迹,或者是他自己对黄金战士的预言梦想 — 但丁却不这么认为。他经常相信,有一天,帝皇的防御可能会掌握在他手中,他打算履行这最后的职责。
Devastation of Baal 巴尔的毁灭
This belief would come to be understood finally during the Devastation of Baal, when Dante led the Blood Angels and their successor chapter's in a final stand against Hive Fleet Leviathan. During the battle Dante managed to slay the Swarmlord but was badly wounded in the process. As he lay dying, he saw a vision of the Sanguinor and Sanguinius himself. Relieved that his duty was finally over, Dante was about to pass into death when Sanguinius told him to live and that his time was not yet done. Distressed, Dante begged Sanguinius to let him die and take his soul with him, but was suddenly revived on the battlefield. Fortunately for the Chapter Master, Baal was saved by Roboute Guilliman and the Indomitus Crusade, who commended him for saving half the galaxy from the terror of the Hive Fleet.
这一信念最终在巴尔的毁灭中得到了理解,当时但丁带领圣血天使及其子战团与虫巢舰队利维坦进行了最后的对抗。在战斗中,但丁设法杀死了虫群领主,但在此过程中受了重伤。当他奄奄一息时,他看到了圣吉列诺和圣吉列斯本人的幻象。但丁终于卸下了自己的责任,正要走向死亡,圣吉列斯告诉他活下去,而他的时间还没有结束。但丁悲痛欲绝,恳求圣吉列斯让他死去,带走他的灵魂,但在战场上突然复活了。对战团长来说幸运的是,巴尔被罗伯特·基里曼和不屈远征救了出来,他们称赞他从虫巢舰队的恐怖中拯救了半个星系。

Commander Dante 指挥官但丁
Following the salvation of Baal, Guilliman named Dante the Lord Regent of Imperium Nihilus. He used his new authority to organize an offensive to retake the Red Scar region from the tendrils of Leviathan known as the Angel's Halo. He has since undergone the operation to become a Primaris Space Marine.
巴尔获救后,基里曼任命但丁为帝国暗面摄政。他利用自己的新权力组织了一场攻势,从被称为天使之环的利维坦的卷须中夺回红疤地区。此后,他接受了手术,成为了原铸星际战士。
Arks of Omen 噩兆方舟
During the Arks of Omen Campaign Dante led a force of Blood Angels to intercept an Ark that was targeting the agri worlds of the Saganas Belt. Upon arrival they found the Ark, Night Terror, drifting in the voide with wrecked heretic warships around it. After boarding it they found dead heretics, astartes and humans, who had been slain by bolter rounds and a large sword, they also found sulpherous residue, the remains of biomechanical infestation mixed with something that resembled wilted plant life. After searching for several days they couldn't find any more clues as to what happened, and Dante ordered samples to be analyzed.
在噩兆方舟战役中,但丁率领一支圣血天使部队拦截了一艘瞄准萨加纳斯带的农业世界的方舟。抵达后,他们发现了方舟午夜恐惧号,它漂浮在虚空中,周围是被毁坏的异端战舰。登上方舟后,他们找到了被爆矢弹药和一把大剑杀死的死亡异端、异教徒和人类,他们还发现了含硫残留物,这是生物机械侵袭的残留物,混合着类似枯萎植物的东西。经过几天的搜寻,他们找不到更多关于发生了什么的线索,但丁下令对样本进行分析。
Dante was the first high-ranking Imperial official to discover that Lion El'Jonson had returned after ten thousand years of absence after investigating reports of his return. Dante informed the Lion of recent developments in the Galaxy and that Roboute Guilliman lived. Taking the Lion aboard his flagship Absolution's Ire, Dante and Imperial Navy reinforcements made for the Somnium Stars to rescue the Dark Angels and Unforgiven from the clutches of Vashtorr.
但丁是第一位在调查了莱昂·艾尔庄森返回的报告后发现他在离开一万年后返回的高级帝国官员。但丁向莱昂通报了银河系的最新进展,并告诉他罗伯特·基里曼还活着。但丁和帝国海军增援部队带着莱昂登上他的旗舰赦免之怒号,前往幻梦群星,从瓦什托尔的魔爪中营救黑暗天使和不可饶恕者。
During the subsequent Battle of Idolatros, Dante arrived to save Azrael and the Dark Angels aboard Wyrmwood just as they were about to be overrun by Angron and his World Eaters. Alongside his Sanguinary Guard, Assault Squads, and Redemptor Dreadnoughts, Dante met the Daemon Primarch in battle but all were swept aside by the Daemon's fury. As the final blow was about to be struck on the injured Dante, The Lion appeared and intercepted the blow deal. Dante was subsequently recovered by Azrael and his warriors, and upon regaining his composure was able to coordinate the evacuation of Wyrmwood alongside the Unforgiven.
在随后的盲信星之战中,但丁抵达龙林星营救阿兹瑞尔和黑暗天使,当时他们正在被安格隆和他的吞世者肆虐。但丁与他的圣血卫队、突击小队和救赎者无畏一起,在战斗中遇到了恶魔原体,但被恶魔的愤怒所淹没。当受伤的但丁即将受到最后一击时,莱昂出现并拦截了这一击。但丁随后被阿兹瑞尔和他的战士们救了回来,在恢复冷静后,他能够与不可饶恕者一起协调撤离龙林星。

Dante as a Primaris Space Marine 作为原铸星际战士的但丁
Dante's Artificer Armour incorporates a Jump Pack and the Death Mask of Sanguinius, a golden mask said to have been modeled on the features of the Blood Angels' Primarch Sanguinius. A halo of golden energy plays about Dante's head striking terror into the hearts of his enemies. Dante is also armed with the Axe Mortalis and the Perdition Pistol. Since Dante became a Primaris Space Marine, both weapons have now been upscaled to suit his newly massive frame.
但丁的精工盔甲融合了跳跃背包和圣吉列斯的死亡面具,据说这是一个模仿圣血天使原体圣吉列斯特征的金色面具。金色能量的光环表现了但丁的头在敌人心中制造的恐惧。但丁还装备了死亡之斧和毁灭手枪。自从但丁成为原铸星际战士以来,这两件武器现在都进行了升级,以适应他新的巨大体型。
