History 历史

Brother Calistarius 卡利斯塔留斯兄弟

Originally known as Calistarius, he was a Blood Angel Librarian of some ability and exceptional strength of character.

他最初被称为卡利斯塔留斯，是一位具有某种能力和非凡性格力量的圣血天使智库。

Calistarius 卡利斯塔留斯

While holding the rank of Lexicanium, Librarian Calistarius was present during the boarding of the Space Hulk Sin of Damnation as an honourary member of the Blood Angel's 1st Company.

在担任编修员的同时，智库卡利斯塔留斯作为圣血天使第一连队的荣誉成员参加了跳帮诅咒之罪号太空废船。

Rebirth 重生

While fighting as part of the relief force for Hades Hive during the Second War for Armageddon campaign, Calistarius became a victim of the Black Rage. After being inducted into the Death Company, he took part in the assault on an Ecclesiarchy building and was one of many trapped inside when the building collapsed during battle. For seven days, Calistarius lay trapped in the rubble, teetering on the edge of death and madness. Somehow, rather than succumbing to the Red Thirst, he managed to conquer it. By sheer strength of will he was able to suppress and hold in check the feelings of rage and the desire for blood, and in doing so he became something more. On the seventh night he burst free of his rocky tomb, reborn as Mephiston, the Lord of Death.

在第二次阿玛吉多顿战争期间，卡利斯塔留斯作为哈迪斯巢都救援部队的一员作战，成为了黑怒的受害者。在加入死亡连后，他参加了对一座教堂建筑的袭击，是战斗中建筑倒塌时被困在里面的许多人之一。卡利斯塔留斯被困在瓦砾中七天，在死亡和疯狂的边缘摇摇欲坠。不知何故，他没有屈服于血渴，而是成功地征服了它。凭借纯粹的意志力，他能够抑制和控制愤怒和嗜血的感觉，并在这样做的过程中变得更有意义。第七天晚上，他从岩石坟墓中挣脱出来，重生为死亡之主墨菲斯顿。

Mephiston's resurrection did not go unwitnessed. By this time Hades lay once more in the hands of the Imperium, but Orks still roamed the ruins. As Mephiston heaved debris aside from his tomb, the sound of tortured stone drew the attention of one band of Orks. Weaponless, and with his armour shredded and mangled, Mephiston must have seemed easy prey, but nothing could have been further from the truth. His gene-seed, dormant these many long years, had awakened and wrought further changes, granting exceptional strength and vigor. Moving with a speed the Orks could not match, Mephiston unleashed a flurry of attacks, every blow pulverizing flesh and shattering bone. Five Orks died in as many seconds, and a dozen more swiftly followed. The greenskins never stood a chance, but they were as stubborn as Mephiston was determined. It was not until the reborn Angel punched clean through the biggest Ork's chest and tore out his heart that the survivors fled. His ruined armour slick with the blood of his foes, Mephiston began the long walk to Imperial lines.

墨菲斯顿的重生并非无人见证。此时，哈迪斯再次落入帝国之手，但欧克仍在废墟中游荡。当墨菲斯顿把碎片从坟墓里扔到一边时，石头被折磨的声音引起了一群欧克的注意。墨菲斯顿没有武器，盔甲被撕碎，看起来很容易成为猎物，但事实远非如此。他的基因种子，沉睡了这么多年，已经觉醒并带来了进一步的变化，赋予了他非凡的力量和活力。墨菲斯顿以欧克无法比拟的速度移动，发动了一连串的攻击，每一次打击都粉碎了肉体，粉碎了骨头。五只欧克在短短几秒钟内死亡，随后又有十几只迅速死亡。绿皮从来没有机会，但他们和墨菲斯顿一样固执。直到重生的天使刺穿了最大的欧克的胸膛，撕裂了他的心脏，幸存者才逃离。墨菲斯顿的盔甲上沾满了敌人的鲜血，他开始了向帝国战线的漫长步行。

Mephiston, the Lord of Death 墨菲斯顿，死亡之主

The changes of his rebirth have affected Mephiston greatly. His powers have grown considerably, but there is also a downside. He has absorbed the Warp personification of the Black Rage, a Black Angel of pure rage and darkness. This creature is a dark fragment of Sanguinius's soul and vents its rage through Mephiston.

他重生的变化对墨菲斯顿影响很大。他的力量有了显著增长，但也有不利因素。他吸收了亚空间人格化的黑怒，一个纯粹愤怒和黑暗的黑天使。这个生物是圣吉列斯灵魂的黑暗碎片，通过墨菲斯顿发泄愤怒。

M'kar 姆'卡

In the year 977.M41, the Daemon M'kar trapped Mephiston in the crystal caves of Solon V. He then attempted to lure Mephiston into joining Chaos as a renegade, claiming that Mephiston was already firmly on the path to Daemonhood. Mephiston rejected his captor's claims and throttled the life out of M'kar

977.M41，恶魔姆'卡将墨菲斯顿困在索伦五号的水晶洞穴中。然后，他试图引诱墨菲斯顿作为叛徒加入混沌，声称墨菲斯顿已经坚定地走上了通往恶魔宿主的道路。墨菲斯顿拒绝了抓捕他的人的要求，并扼杀了姆'卡的生命

Devastation of Baal 巴尔的毁灭

Shortly before the Devastation of Baal, Mephiston suffered repeated dreams of the Bloodthirster Ka'Bandha, hated foe of the Blood Angels, appearing to destroy his chapter. Determined to prevent this, Mephiston and his disciples Gaius Rhacelus and Lucius Antros journeyed to the Cruor Mountains on Baal to undertake a ritual to open up a portal to Khorne's realm and kill Ka'Bandha before he could be a threat. The ritual however was ultimately flawed, and a cave-in trapped the Librarians for the rest of the battle.

在巴尔被毁灭前不久，墨菲斯顿反复梦到圣血天使的死敌卡班哈，似乎要摧毁他的战团。为了防止这种情况的发生，墨菲斯顿和他的门徒盖乌斯·莱切罗斯和卢修斯·安特罗斯前往巴尔的凝血山脉，进行了一场仪式，打开通往恐虐领域的大门，并在卡班哈成为威胁之前杀死他。然而，这一仪式最终是有缺陷的，一场塌方将智库困在了剩下的战斗中。

Dark Imperium 黑暗帝国

At some point following the Devastation of Baal, Mephiston was converted into a Primaris Space Marine. During the procedure Mephiston nearly died, but found himself in the Warp and came before the Sanguinor and Black Angel. An apparent avatar of Sanguinius appeared and told Mephiston that he is doomed to become the Black Angel, but if he accepted the entity into his body now it could act as a prison and weaken the Black Rage within the chapter for a time. However this would come at the cost of becoming a pariah and damning his soul. The Chief Librarian apparently accepted, displaying dark new abilities and stating he both is and isn't Mephiston. Against the wishes of Astorath, Dante decided to not execute the reborn Mephiston. Now a Primaris Marine, during the Psychic Awakening Mephiston used his psychic abilities to aid the Blood Angels during the Angel's Halo Campaign.

在巴尔的毁灭后的某个时刻，墨菲斯顿被改造成了一名原铸星际战士。在手术过程中，墨菲斯顿差点死了，但他发现自己身处亚空间之中，来到了圣吉列诺和黑天使面前。圣吉列斯的一个明显化身出现了，并告诉墨菲斯顿他注定要成为黑天使，但如果他现在接受这个实体进入他的身体，他可能会在一段时间内充当监狱，削弱战团内的黑怒。然而，这将以成为被遗弃者和诅咒他的灵魂为代价。首席智库显然接受了，展示了黑暗的新能力，并表示他既是墨菲斯顿，也不是墨菲斯顿。违背阿斯托拉斯的意愿，但丁决定不处决重生的墨菲斯顿。现在是一名原铸战士，在灵能觉醒期间，墨菲斯顿在天使光环战役中利用自己的灵能能力帮助了圣血天使。

Mephiston has become embroiled in an effort to foil the plans of Magnus the Red and the Daemon Prince Zadkiel. Foreseeing disaster should their plans come to pass, he managed to infiltrate the Planet of the Sorcerers and foil the attempts of Zadkiel to summon nine Silver Towers to Terra.

墨菲斯顿卷入了挫败赤红之马格努斯和恶魔王子扎德基尔计划的行动中。他预见到如果他们的计划成真，将会发生灾难，他设法渗透到巫师行星，挫败了扎德基尔召唤九座银塔到泰拉的企图。

Mephiston 墨菲斯顿

Wargear and Abilities 战备与能力

Mephiston is armed with the Force sword Vitarus and a Plasma pistol. He wears Artificer armor which incorporates his ornate Psychic hood. Overcoming the Red Thirst enabled Mephiston to release his full psychic potential and he is able to call on any number of psychic powers related to the Blood Angels.

墨菲斯顿手持灵能剑维塔鲁斯和等离子手枪。他穿着精工盔甲，上面戴着华丽的灵能头箍。克服血渴使墨菲斯顿能够释放出他全部的灵能潜力，他能够召唤与圣血天使相关的任何灵能力量。

Since his rebirth, Mephiston's powers have grown significantly. He is capable of projecting his mind into even psychically attuned Eldar, driving them to rage and madness. He can split his soul into multiple dopplegangers, allowing him to do multiple feats at once. He is capable of stopping and even reversing time, but this power is alluring and potentially dangerous, as he still ages within the paused periods and could potentially waste his entire life while the universe remains frozen in place around him.

自从墨菲斯顿重生以来，他的力量有了显著的增长。他甚至能够将自己的思想投射到熟悉灵能的灵族身上，驱使他们愤怒和疯狂。他可以把自己的灵魂分成多个替身，让他一次完成多项壮举。他有能力停止甚至逆转时间，但这种力量是诱人的，也有潜在的危险，因为他仍然在暂停期内衰老，在宇宙仍然冻结在他周围的时候，他可能会浪费一生。

Trivia 琐事

• The name Mephiston might have been inspired by Mephisto (short for Mephistopheles), a demon featured in German folklore.

• 墨菲斯顿这个名字可能是受到德国民间传说中的恶魔梅菲斯托（梅菲斯托菲勒斯的缩写）的启发。
