Biography 传记

First Tyrannic War 第一次泰伦战争

Upon coming across the recently ruined Dead World of Tyran, Kryptman uncovered a protected data-codex and learnt about the unknown, cataclysmic alien race which had destroyed the world. After the planet Tyran, he gave the new alien threat the designation "Tyranids".

在偶然发现最近被毁的泰兰死亡世界后，克里普特曼发现了一个受保护的数据圣典，并了解了摧毁世界的未知、灾难性的异型种族。在泰兰行星之后，他将新的异型威胁命名为“泰伦虫族”。

He went on to warn Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, of the oncoming Hive Fleet Behemoth. This allowed the Ultramarines to prepare for the conflict and to summon support from Battlefleet Tempestus, allowing them to defeat the Hive Fleet.

他继续警告极限战士的战团长马涅乌斯·卡尔加，即将到来的虫巢舰队贝希摩斯。这使得极限战士能够为冲突做好准备，并获得暴风舰队的支持，从而击败虫巢舰队。

Third Tyrannic War 第三次泰伦战争

Inquisitor Kryptman became involved in the defence of Tarsis Ultra during 999.M41 when a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan was discovered to be moving towards the planet. Imperial forces arrived to defend the planet, which consisted of the Ultramarines Fourth Company led by Captain Uriel Ventris, a detachment from the Mortifactors led by Chaplain Astador, the 10th Logres Regiment led by Colonel Octavius Rabelaq, the 933rd Death Korps of Krieg led by Colonel Trymon Stagler, and the PDF regiments headed by Major Aries Satria. Kryptman was on hand to share his extensive knowledge of the Tyranids with the commanders in aid of the war effort. He was also accompanied by Magos Biologis Vianco Locard, an expert on the Tyranids, and a Deathwatch Kill-team led by Captain Bannon.

审判官克里普特曼在999.M41期间参与了塔西斯·极限的防御，当时发现虫巢舰队利维坦的卷须正在向行星移动。帝国部队抵达保卫行星，其中包括由乌瑞尔·文崔斯连长领导的极限战士第四连队、由阿斯塔多牧师领导的苦行者、由屋大维·拉伯拉克上校领导的第10洛格斯兵团、由特里蒙·斯塔格勒上校领导的第933克里格死亡军团和由阿瑞斯·萨特里亚少校领导的行星防御部队。克里普特曼随时准备与指挥官分享他对泰伦的广泛了解，以协助战争。陪同他的还有泰伦专家生物贤者维安科·洛卡德和班农连长领导的死亡守望杀戮小队。

Despite an initial victory in destroying a Hive Ship during a space battle, Inquisitor Kryptman wished to invoke Exterminatus upon the world of Chordelis, the next planet in the path of the Tyranids. This was to prevent it from being devoured and swelling the Tyranids' numbers, as planetary evacuation was too slow. Captain Ventris vehemently opposed this decision and supported an alternative solution proposed by Lord Admiral Lazlo Tiberius, to slow down the Tyranids by exploding a hydrogen-plasma refinery in space to destroy another Hive Ship. However, Kryptman had lied to Ventris and with the assistance of the Mortifactors invoked Exterminatus anyway.

尽管在一场太空战中摧毁了一艘虫巢舰并取得了初步胜利，但审判官克里普特曼仍希望在泰伦路径上的下一个行星科德里斯世界上调用灭绝令。这是为了防止它被吞噬，并防止泰伦的数量膨胀，因为行星疏散太慢了。文崔斯连长强烈反对这一决定，并支持领主海军上将拉兹洛·提比略提出的另一种解决方案，即通过在太空中爆炸氢等离子体精炼厂来摧毁另一虫巢舰，从而减缓泰伦的速度。然而，克里普特曼对文崔斯撒了谎，并在苦行者的协助下调用了灭绝令。

During the repeated Tyranid attacks on Tarsis Ultra, Kryptman, along with his retinue, studied the biology of the Tyranid corpses killed in combat. During one expedition, a Lictor which had earlier landed on the planet, attacked his team but was fended off by the Deathwatch; Kryptman immediately ordered Captain Bannon to capture the Lictor without killing it, which they did. This proved pivotal to the war, as Magos Locard was able to concoct a poison from the Lictor's genetic structure that would allow them to defeat the entire swarm by infecting the Norn Queen aboard the last remaining Hive Ship. The Deathwatch team, led by Ventris, accomplished this mission, ending the war shortly before the few remaining defenders were overwhelmed by the hive swarms.

在泰伦对塔西斯·极限的反复攻击中，克里普特曼和他的随从研究了在战斗中死亡的泰伦尸体的生理。在一次探索中，一只早些时候降落在行星上的利卡特攻击了他的小队，但被死亡守望击退；克里普特曼立即命令班农连长在不杀死利卡特的情况下抓住它，他们照做了。这被证明是战争的关键，因为贤者洛卡德能够从利卡特的基因结构中制造出一种毒药，使他们能够通过感染最后一艘虫巢舰上的诺恩女王来击败整个虫群。由文崔斯领导的死亡守望小队完成了这项任务，在剩下的几名守军被虫群淹没前不久结束了战争。

Galactic Cordon 银河封锁

After one of the two tendrils of Leviathan was destroyed on Tarsis Ultra, contact was reestablished with the worlds between the two tendrils of Leviathan, which previously had been smothered by the Shadow in the Warp. This made Kryptman aware of the fall of numerous worlds within this region, each one swelling the ranks of the hive fleet. With a grim determination, Kryptman began exterminating worlds in Leviathan's path, creating a galactic cordon. Any world within this cordon would undergo Exterminatus as soon as the Tyranids invaded, the virus bombs destroying all life on the planet. This would cause the Hive Fleet to expend large amounts of resources to invade a planet, resources that would then be lost with the planet's destruction. Billions died, in the largest act of genocide the Imperium has faced since the Horus Heresy. As a result, Kryptman was declared a traitor, a fool and a radical, and a Carta Extremis was issued for him, stripping Kryptman of his title and condemning him to death, should he be apprehended. However, these harsh measures slowed Leviathan's advance to a crawl.

在塔西斯·极限上摧毁了利维坦的两根卷须中的一根后，与利维坦的两根卷须之间的世界重新建立了联系，先前被亚空间阴影所窒息。这让克里普特曼意识到该地区许多世界的陷落，每个世界都扩大了虫巢舰队的队伍。带着坚定的决心，克里普特曼开始消灭利维坦路径上的世界，建立了一条银河封锁线。一旦泰伦入侵，这条封锁线内的任何世界都将遭受灭绝令，病毒炸弹摧毁了行星上的所有生命。这将导致虫巢舰队花费大量资源入侵一颗行星，这些资源将随着行星的毁灭而损失。数十亿人死亡，这是自荷鲁斯叛乱以来帝国面临的最大规模的灭绝行为。结果，克里普特曼被宣布为叛徒、愚者和激进分子，并为他颁发了极端文书，剥夺了克里普特曼的头衔，如果他被捕，将被判处死刑。然而，这些残酷的措施减缓了利维坦的前进速度。

Kryptman's Gamble 克里普特曼的赌博

Kryptman observed the war between Tyranids and Orks on the world of Tesla Prime, where these two enemies of the Imperium locked each other in a long and bloody conflict. Seeing this as a way to slow or halt Leviathan without further loss of human life, Kryptman and a Deathwatch team loyal to him embarked on a dangerous mission on the planet of Carpathia to capture a brood of live genestealers. At the cost of many Deathwatch lives, the genestealers were placed in a stasis field and then unleashed in the space hulk Perdition's Flame. The Deathwatch and Kryptman then detonated a nearby moon, sending the hulk hurtling into the Ork Empire of Octarius. The genestealers quickly infected the Orks that attempted to raid the space hulk, causing the infection to flourish and quickly reach all corners of Octavius. Soon the psychic signature of the genestealers was strong enough to attract the second tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan, causing it to veer away from Imperial space. Leviathan is currently engaged in a protracted war with the Orks.

克里普特曼观察了泰伦和欧克在特斯拉一号世界上的战争，在那里，帝国的这两个敌人在一场漫长而血腥的冲突中相互锁定。克里普特曼和一支忠于他的死亡守望小队将此视为一种在不进一步造成人员伤亡的情况下减缓或阻止利维坦的方法，他们在卡柏菲亚行星上开始了一项危险的任务，以抓捕一群活着的基因窃取者。以许多死亡守望的生命为代价，这些基因窃取者被放置在一个静滞立场，然后被释放到太空废船毁灭之火号中。死亡守望和克里普特曼随后引爆了附近的一颗卫星，使这艘废船冲向奥克塔琉斯的欧克帝国。基因窃取者很快感染了试图突袭太空废船的欧克，导致感染迅速蔓延，并迅速蔓延到奥克塔维斯的各个角落。很快，基因窃取者的灵能特征就足够强大，吸引了虫巢舰队利维坦的第二根卷须，使其偏离了帝国空域。利维坦目前正在与欧克进行一场旷日持久的战争。

Fidus Kryptman 菲杜斯·克里普特曼

However, Kryptman seems to have overlooked the fact that whichever side emerges victorious from the Octarius War will surely be far more powerful than they were before — a fact which left the Ordo Xenos with "an unholy mess to clean up" well into M42.

然而，克里普特曼似乎忽略了这样一个事实，即无论哪一方在奥克塔琉斯战争中获胜，都肯定会比以前强大得多 — 这一事实使攘外修会在M42中留下了“需要清理的邪恶混乱”。
