History 历史

Shadow Captain 暗影连长

When the Chaos army known as the Bloodborn invaded Ultramar in 854999.M41, the Raven Guard's Master of Shadows sent Shaan and one of the Fourth Company's elite squads to assist the Ultramarines. Their entry into Lord Calgar's chambers inside the Fortress of Hera was so stealthy that even the legendary Scout Sergeant Telion did not detect their presence until they announced themselves.

当被称为血裔的混沌军队于854999.M41入侵奥特拉玛时，暗鸦守卫的暗影之主派莎恩和第四连队的一支精英小队协助奥特拉玛。他们进入赫拉要塞内卡尔加领主的房间是如此隐秘，以至于即使是传说中的侦察军士泰利昂也没有发现他们的存在，直到他们宣布了自己的存在。

Their specific mission was to capture Ardaric Vaanes, a renegade Raven Guard who had been seen traveling in the retinue of Warsmith Honsou.

他们的具体任务是抓捕阿达里克·万纳斯，一名叛徒暗鸦守卫，有人看到他在战争铁匠洪索的随从中随行。

Shaan and his squad infiltrated the Chaos-held city of Axum on Tarentus and neutralized the sentries, allowing an Ultramarines strike force to enter and demolish the defences. However, Axum was a trap laid by Honsou for Uriel Ventris, who only just managed to evacuate his troops before the city was levelled from orbit. During the evacuation, Shaan saved Scout Sergeant Issam's life by casually beheading a persistent Khorne Berserker clinging to their escaping Thunderhawk.

沙恩和他的小队渗透到塔伦图斯的混沌控制的阿克苏姆城，并消灭了哨兵，使一支极限战士打击部队得以进入并摧毁防御工事。然而，阿克苏姆是洪索为乌瑞尔·文崔斯设下的陷阱，他在城市被从轨道上夷为平地之前才设法疏散了他的部队。在疏散过程中，沙恩随意斩首了一名执着于逃跑的雷鹰的恐虐狂战士，从而挽救了侦察军士伊萨姆的生命。

Shaan later joined Uriel and the Ultramarines Fourth Company in defending Calth from the assault of the Iron Warriors, and helped Inquisitor Namira Suzaku to interrogate Vaanes after he was captured during the fight at Guilliman's Gate.

沙恩后来加入了乌瑞尔和极限战士第四连队，保护考斯免受钢铁勇士的攻击，并在万纳斯在基里曼之门的战斗中被捕后帮助审判官娜米拉.朱雀审问万纳斯。

Shaan and his squad were instrumental in turning the tide on Calth, when they infiltrated the Chaos force's command vehicle, the Black Basilica, and destroyed it with demolition charges. This not only killed a fair number of the Chaos soldiers, it also halted the corrupt Adept Cycerin's attempts to take control of the Praetorians fighting on the Ultramarines' side.

沙恩和他的小队在扭转考斯的局势方面发挥了重要作用，他们渗透到混沌部队的指挥载具黑色教堂号，并用破坏炸药将其摧毁。这不仅杀死了相当多的混沌士兵，还阻止了腐化的专家西瑟林试图控制与极限战士并肩作战的禁卫军。

In the climax of the battle on Calth, Shaan accompanied Uriel and his Command Squad through the caverns to the underground tomb of Remus Ventanus, the saviour of Calth. Shaan lost several men in the fight with Honsou's warriors, but survived the fight, and the collapsing of the cave by Honsou.

在考斯之战的高潮中，沙恩陪同乌瑞尔和他的指挥小队穿过洞穴，来到考斯救主雷穆斯·文坦努斯的地下陵墓。沙恩在与洪索的战士的战斗中损失了几名士兵，但在战斗中幸存下来，并在洪索的洞穴坍塌中幸存下来。

Afterwards, Shaan was bewildered by the actions of Vaanes, who had fought for their side in the final battle. Shaan had been ordered to take Vaanes back to the Ravenspire for punishment, but did not know what he would say now. Uriel suggested that Shaan tell the truth: that Vaanes had given his life fighting against the Ruinous Powers. Shaan agreed, and asked Apothecary Selenus to extract Vaanes' gene-seed, for return to the Raven Guard's fortress-monastery.

后来，沙恩对万纳斯的行为感到困惑，万纳斯在最后一战中为他们一方而战。沙恩被命令将万纳斯带回渡鸦尖塔进行惩罚，但不知道他现在能说什么。乌瑞尔建议沙恩说实话：万纳斯在与毁灭力量的战斗中献出了生命。沙恩同意了，并要求药剂师塞勒努斯提取万纳斯的基因种子，以便返回暗鸦守卫的堡垒修道院。

Shaan and his surviving warriors also accompanied the Second and Fourth Companies to Talassar to relieve the besieged First Company led by Chapter Master Calgar, taking part in the jump pack assault against M'kar's daemon army. He and his surviving warriors were among the few non-Ultramarines to attend the Chapter's victory celebration in the Shrine of Guilliman on Macragge, and the fallen Raven Guard were honoured along with the Ultramarines.

沙恩和他幸存的战士们还陪同第二和第四连队前往塔拉萨，以解救由战团长卡尔加领导的被围困的第一连队，参加了对姆'卡的恶魔军队的跳跃背包攻击。他和他幸存的战士是少数几个参加在马库拉格的基里曼神殿举行的战团胜利庆典的非极限战士之一，倒下的暗鸦守卫和极限战士一起受到了表彰。

Chapter Master 战团长

During the Indomitus Crusade, Shaan oversaw victories against the Genestealer Cults of Gelvia, the Iron Warriors at Strigneth System, and the Orks at Aescia II. All three victories had been won with minimal loss of life, and Kayvaan Shrike, having long looked for a successor, knew that the Captain exemplified the Trifold Path of Shadow. Shaan was summoned back to the Ravenspire and quietly and unceremoniously appointed Master of Shadows while Shrike resigned.

在不屈远征期间，沙恩监督了对盖尔维亚的基因窃取者教派、斯特林格内斯星系的钢铁勇士和埃西亚二号的兽人的胜利。这三场胜利都是以最小的生命损失取得的，长期以来一直在寻找继任者的凯万·史瑞克知道连长是三重暗影之路的典范。沙恩被唤回暗鸦尖塔，悄悄地、唐突的地被任命为暗影之主，而史瑞克则辞职了。

Befitting his title, Shaan prefers to lead from the shadows and wage campaigns of subterfuge and misdirection. He emphasizes the value of intelligence and utilizing highly autonomous independent strike forces of Raven Guard. To that end, he rarely appears openly in battle and maintains a network of spies, info thralls, and Servo-Automata to constantly collect information on potential threats. On the rare occasion that Shaan commits himself to the fight, his presence heralds doom for the enemy. Usually, he arrives at the culmination of the Raven Guard's clandestine efforts, descending to land the killing blow upon an already weakened foe.

与他的头衔相称，沙恩更喜欢在阴影中领导，并发动诡计和误导的战役。他强调情报的价值，并利用暗鸦守卫高度自主的独立打击部队。为此，他很少公开出现在战斗中，并维护着一个由间谍、情报奴隶和伺服机兵组成的网络，不断收集潜在威胁的信息。在难得的情况下，沙恩投入战斗，他的出现预示着敌人的厄运。通常，他的到达在暗鸦守卫秘密行动的高潮，降落到已经被削弱的敌人身上。

Wargear 战备

Shaan wields the Lightning Claws dubbed the Claws of Severax and the relic Jump Pack dubbed the Blackwing Mantle. Both were taken up following his appointment as Chapter Master and were formerly wielded by Corvin Severax. Shaan is also accompanied by Servo-Automata drones taken from the Ravenspire.

沙恩挥舞着被称为塞维拉克斯之爪的闪电爪和被称为黑翼披风的圣物跳跃背包。这两件装备都是在他被任命为战团长后配备的，以前由科文·塞维拉克斯使用。沙恩还配备了取自渡鸦尖塔的伺服机兵无人机。
