History 历史

Kardan Stronos was originally a Space Marine of Clan Vurgaan, however he was transferred to Clan Garrsak upon him reaching the rank of Sergeant.

卡丹·斯特罗诺斯最初是沃尔甘氏族的星际战士，但在晋升为军士后，他被调到格拉萨克氏族。

He then went on to serve for years as Iron-Captain of Clan Garrsak before he was inducted into the Iron Hands Chaplaincy, eventually traveling to Mars for training as a Techmarine. His reverence for the Machine and hatred of weakness earned him a place on the Iron Council, and his ruthlessness and desire to succeed made him the logical choice to be the next Chapter Master of the Iron Hands, taking all power and responsibilities for campaigns involving multiple Clan-Companies and returning power back to the Clan Council at the end of the campaign. Stronos was originally elected by the Council, and as is chapter tradition can have it stripped away from him at any given time. It is a testament of his skill as a leader and warrior that the Clan Council has appointed him as Commander for over three consecutive centuries. Under his leadership, the Iron Hands have destroyed Waaagh! Drezgnod and the renegade Blood Heralds, as well as purging Hive Fleet Moloch from the Regis System.

然后，他继续担任格拉萨克氏族的钢铁连长多年，然后被任命为钢铁之手牧师，最终前往火星接受技术军士训练。他对机械的敬畏和对软弱的憎恨为他在钢铁议会中赢得了一席之地，他的无情和对成功的渴望使他成为下一个钢铁之手战团长的合乎逻辑的选择，在涉及多个氏族连队的战役中承担所有权力和责任，并在战役结束时将权力归还给氏族议会。斯特罗诺斯最初是由议会选举产生的，正如战团的传统一样，它可以在任何时候从他身上被剥夺。氏族议会连续三个多世纪任命他为指挥官，这证明了他作为领导者和战士的技能。在他的领导下，铁手摧毁了德雷兹格诺德的Waaagh！和叛徒鲜血使者，以及从雷吉斯星系中清除虫巢舰队摩洛克。

During the era of the Kristosian Conclave, Stronos was among those who opposed the Kristonian faction of the Iron Hands and stressed the Chapter's humanity over the machine aspect emphasized by Kristos and his followers. After the Gaudinian Heresy, where a third of the Iron Council was lost, Stronos inspired the remaining Council members to endure by reminding them that they were also men and not purely cold machines. Since then, Stronos was elected War Leader of the Iron Council and has been reelected at every opportunity since.

在克里斯托斯派秘会时期，斯特罗诺斯是反对钢铁之手的克里斯托斯派的人之一，他强调战团的人性，而不是克里斯托斯派及其追随者强调的机械方面。在高迪尼安叛乱之后，钢铁议会失去了三分之一的席位，斯特罗诺斯提醒剩下的议会成员，他们也是人，而不是纯粹的冷酷机器，以此激励他们坚持下去。从那时起，斯特罗诺斯被选为钢铁议会的战争领袖，并在此后的每一次机会中再次当选。

As of 760.M41 Kardan Stronos had been on the Iron Council as de facto Chapter Master for 300 consecutive years, making him the longest serving Iron Hands leader since Primarch Ferrus Manus. It was in the face of Waaagh! Grimfist that the Iron Council reappointed Stronos to lead the Chapter for the 300th consecutive year. Stronos then brutally annihilated Grimfist's Orks.

截至760.M41，卡丹·斯特罗诺斯已连续300年在钢铁议会担任事实上的战团长，这使他成为自原体费鲁斯·马努斯以来任职时间最长的钢铁之手领袖。在面对冷拳的Waaagh！时，钢铁议会已连续300年再次任命斯特罗诺斯领导战团。斯特罗诺斯随后残酷地消灭了冷拳的欧克。

In 802.M41, during the Defense of Parathen City he accepted a challenge to personal combat from Varlag the Butcher, a World Eaters Champion of Chaos, decapitating him with his Axe of Medusa. In 998.M41 after battling the Farsight Enclaves on Fall'yth Stronos gave up his position on the Iron Council, but was immediately reappointed by the Council in the face of the threat posed by Hive Fleet Leviathan — despite the objection of several veteran Iron Fathers.

802.M41，在保卫帕拉森城期间，他接受了混沌吞世者冠军屠夫瓦拉格的决斗挑战，用他的美杜莎之斧将他斩首。998年，在与法尔'伊斯的远见飞地作战后，斯特罗诺斯放弃了他在钢铁议会的职位，但面对虫巢舰队利维坦构成的威胁，他立即被钢铁议会重新任命，尽管几位资深铁父反对。

After the formation of the Great Rift, Kardan Stronos appeared on Vigilus leading eight Clan-Companies of Iron Hands and two companies of Brazen Claws in aid of their Mechanicus allies in the War of Beasts.

大裂隙形成后，卡丹·斯特罗诺斯出现在警戒星，领导八个钢铁之手氏族连队和两个黄铜之爪连队，以帮助他们在野兽战争中的机械教盟友。

Personality and beliefs 个性和信仰

Kardan Stronos is an firm believer in firepower and considers it the only tenet of battle. He considers Razorback assault transports to be the pinnacle of battlefield effectiveness. Like many in the Iron Hands, he is also a follower of the Cult Mechanicus and worships the Omnissiah.

卡丹·斯特罗诺斯坚信火力，并认为这是战斗的唯一原则。他认为豪猪突击运输车是战场效能的巅峰之作。像钢铁之手中的许多人一样，他也是机械教派的追随者，崇拜欧姆尼赛亚。

Stronos's desire to eradicate weakness has extended to his fellow Iron Hands. At his urging, the Clan Council has expanded to include Iron-Captains, Apothecaries, Chaplains, and other Iron Hands, broadening the collective wisdom of the Council. Stronos also believes that by suppressing their emotions, the Iron Hands are making themselves weaker, he is convinced that only by experiencing and mastering their emotions can they become the perfect Space Marines. While his actions have undoubtedly strengthened the Chapter, many other Iron Fathers view the changes he has made with caution. Stronos has long displayed difficulty mastering his own emotions, and many fear that he will suffer the same fate as their Primarch Ferrus Manus in allowing his anger to overcome his judgement.

斯特罗诺斯根除弱点的愿望也延伸到了他的钢铁之手追随者身上。在他的敦促下，氏族议会扩大到包括钢铁连长、药剂师、牧师和其他钢铁之手，扩大了议会的集体智慧。斯特罗诺斯还认为，通过抑制自己的情绪，钢铁之手正在让自己变得更弱，他相信只有经历和掌握自己的情绪才能成为完美的星际战士。虽然他的行为无疑加强了战团的力量，但许多其他铁父对他所做的改变持谨慎态度。斯特罗诺斯长期以来一直表现出难以控制自己的情绪，许多人担心他会遭受与他们的原体费鲁斯·马努斯相同的命运，让他的愤怒战胜他的判断。

Of all the enemies the Iron Hands have faced, it is the Necrons that Kadan Stronos hates the most, viewing the soulless automatons as abominations in the eyes of the Omnissiah. When expecting to face Necron forces, Stronos will persecute the wars with the Necrons more perniciously than the Clan Council believe to be necessary.

在钢铁之手所面对的所有敌人中，卡丹·斯特罗诺斯最讨厌的是死灵，他认为没有灵魂的自动机械在欧姆尼赛亚眼中是可憎的。当期待面对死灵部队时，斯特罗诺斯将比氏族议会认为必要的更恶毒地迫害与死灵的战争。
