Watchers in the Dark are a diminutive robed race of creatures which inhabit the Rock, the mobile fortress-monastery of the Dark Angels Space Marine Chapter.

黑暗守望者是一个穿着长袍的小型生物种族，居住在巨石上，巨石是黑暗天使星际战士战团的移动堡垒修道院。

Overview 概述

The Watchers watched over the comatose body of the Dark Angel Primarch Lion El'Jonson within a secret chamber at the core of the Rock. They are semi-unique as they possess a near exclusive ability to resist the warp entities, a trait which is shared with the rare and mysterious Pariahs who completely nullify the warp around them. These silent creatures have been known to carry Dark Angels weapons to battle, and seem to be immune to all acts of violence. Dark Angels accompanied by them are destined to greatness, but they will never give direct aid in battle.

守望者们在巨石的核心的一个秘密房间里看护黑暗天使原体莱昂·艾尔庄森昏迷的身体。它们是半独特的，因为它们具有抵抗亚空间实体的近乎排他性的能力，这是罕见而神秘的被遗弃者所共有的特征，他们完全消除了周围的亚空间。众所周知，这些沉默的生物会携带黑暗天使武器作战，似乎对所有暴力行为都免疫。伴随着他们的黑暗天使注定会伟大，但他们永远不会在战斗中直接提供帮助。

Despite their usual silence and small stature, Watchers are intelligent creatures who psychically communicate with one another. They have been seeking to guide the Dark Angels against Chaos since before the Horus Heresy, and are acquainted with the likes of Eldrad Ulthran. The Watchers seemed to welcome the coming Destruction of Caliban, viewing it as their last hope in their ambitions against Chaos.

尽管守望者通常沉默寡言，身材矮小，但他们是聪明的生物，在心灵上相互交流。自荷鲁斯叛乱之前，他们就一直在寻求引导黑暗天使对抗混沌，并且熟悉埃尔德拉德·乌斯兰这样的人。守望者似乎对即将到来的卡利班的毁灭表示欢迎，认为这是他们对抗混沌野心的最后希望。

History 历史

Native creatures to Caliban according to Zahariel, the Watchers in the Dark were thwarting 'the most ancient evil', considering the warp-tainted Great Beasts of Caliban just as a symptom of it, and were present on the planet long before the coming of the Emperor. According to the Ouroboros, at some point the Watchers became its "jailers". During the power struggle among The Fallen on Caliban as the Horus Heresy unfolded, the Watchers sided with the Lord Cypher against Astelan and Zahariel.

根据扎哈瑞尔的说法，卡利班的本土生物，黑暗守望者正在阻止“最古老的邪恶”，认为卡利班被亚空间扭曲的巨兽只是它的征召，并且早在帝皇到来之前就存在于这个行星上。根据衔尾蛇的说法，在某个时候，守望者成为了它的“狱卒”。在荷鲁斯叛乱展开的卡利班上的堕天使之间的权力斗争中，守望者站在塞弗领主一边，对抗阿斯特兰和扎哈瑞尔。

Following the Destruction of Caliban some of the Watchers survived and now inhabit a portion of their former homeworld, The Rock. They continue to aid the Dark Angels chapter in their own mysterious ways.

卡利班的毁灭后，一些守望者幸存下来，现在居住在他们以前的家园世界巨石的一部分。他们继续以自己神秘的方式帮助黑暗天使战团。

Upon the awakening of Lion El'Jonson in Mirror-Caliban, it was the Watchers who attempted to guide him back into the Imperium.

在镜像卡利班中，莱昂·艾尔庄森醒来后，守望者试图引导他回到帝国。
