"No world shall be beyond my rule; no enemy shall be beyond my wrath." 任何世界都不应违背我的统治；没有敌人可以抵挡我的怒火。
The Emperor of Mankind battles during the Great Crusade 在大远征时期战斗的帝皇
The Emperor of Mankind also referred to by the Imperial Cult and the Adeptus Ministorum as the God-Emperor of Mankind is the sovereign ruler of the Imperium of Man, and Father, Guardian, and God of the human race. He has sat immobile within the Golden Throne of Terra for ten thousand years. Although once a living man, His shattered body can no longer support life, and remains intact only by a combination of ancient technology and the sheer force of His will, itself sustained by the soul-sacrifice of countless millions of psykers.
帝皇，也被帝皇崇拜者和国教教会称为神皇，帝皇是人类帝国的最高统治者，也是人类的父亲、守护者和神。一万年来，他一直一动不动地坐在泰拉的黄金王座上。虽然他曾经是一个活着的人，但他破碎的身体已经无法维持生命，只有通过古代技术和他意志的纯粹力量的结合才能保持完整，而他的意志本身是由无数灵能者牺牲灵魂所维持的。
His will is omnipotent, extending across the million worlds that comprise His Imperium. For ten thousand years the Master of Mankind has served humanity, simultaneously carrying out a multitude of tasks vital to its survival. All at once He guides his race through the Emperor's Tarot, soul-binds psykers, holds audiences with His most important servants and directs the Astronomican beacon that guides space vessels through the Warp. His immense psychic powers constantly keep the Chaos Gods in the Warp at bay, preventing their intrusion into the material universe and protecting his people throughout the galaxy.
他的意志是绝对的，延伸到构成他的帝国的数百万个世界。一万年来，人类之主一直为人类服务，同时执行着对众多对人类生存至关重要的任务。他会通过帝皇塔罗与灵魂绑定的灵能者突然间指引他的种族，与他最重要的侍者保持联系，并指引星炬信标引导太空舰队穿过亚空间。他巨大的灵能力量不断阻止亚空间中的混沌诸神，防止它们入侵现实宇宙，并保护他在整个银河系的人民。
The Emperor's role as guardian of mankind seems to have been predestined for Him. Without the Emperor there would be no Imperium, little space travel, and no protection from the multitude of threats facing mankind. The Emperor knows that to protect his race he must survive as long as necessary for the emerging race of psychic humans to evolve sufficiently.
帝皇作为人类守护者的角色似乎是命中注定的。没有帝皇，就没有帝国，很少有星际航行，人类面临众多威胁时也没有保护。帝皇知道，为了保护他的种族，他必须生存下去，直到新兴的灵能者充分发展。
In the millennia since his ascension to the Golden Throne, the Emperor has become a god to his people, the worship of Him uniting humanity throughout his Imperium, superstition and dogma replacing his doctrine of Imperial Truth.
自登上黄金王座以来的数千年里，帝皇已经成为了他的人民的神，对他的崇拜在帝国中团结了人类，迷信和教条取代了他的帝国真理学说。
Daemonkind refers to the Emperor as The Anathema.
恶魔称帝皇为被诅咒者。

Origins 起源
Little is known about the majority of the Emperor's life; of who he was and what he did before he emerged as the great Emperor of Mankind, only the Emperor himself remembers. It is said that the Emperor's birth, while a natural process, was actually the result of a scheme created by the wisest and most powerful of living humans at that time; the conclave of Shamans. These men, termed 'shamans' by their society, were powerful psykers with great experience of the Warp. Finding their souls - and those of humanity - endangered by the growing perils of the Warp-gods, these psykers decided to pool their power into one human, a being they called 'the New Man'. Already having gained the power to reincarnate themselves (upon death, the shamans' souls would transfer to the Warp, accumulating power enough to reincarnate as human) the shamans entered a suicide-pact. Thousands of them poisoned themselves and sped their souls to the warp at the same time. Presumably pooling their soul-energy and using their reincarnation ability, they brought about the birth of their New Man - the Emperor - one year later.
关于帝皇一生的大部分时间，我们所知甚少；在他成为伟大的人类帝皇之前，他是谁，做了什么，只有帝皇自己记得。据说，帝皇的诞生虽然是一个自然过程，但实际上是当时最聪明、最强大的人类们-萨满秘会；创造的一个计划的结果。这些人被他们的社会称为“萨满”，是强大的灵能者，对亚空间有着丰富的经验。这些灵能者发现他们的灵魂——以及人类的灵魂——受到了亚空间诸神日益增强的危险的威胁，决定将他们的力量集中到一个人身上，他们称之为“新人类”。萨满已经获得了能使他们转生的力量（死亡后，萨满的灵魂将转移到亚空间，积累足够的力量来作为人类转生），他们签订了牺牲契约。成千上万的人毒杀了自己，同时将灵魂快速转移到了亚空间。据推测，一年后，他们汇集了灵魂能量，利用转生能力，诞生了他们的新人类——帝皇。
The Emperor 帝皇
The Emperor was born to mortal parents on Terra in the 8th Millennium BC in a primitive proto-Hittite village along the banks of the Sakarya River (in Anatolia), manifesting his powers as a youth. While a young adolescent, the Emperor's father was murdered by his uncle. While preparing his fathers body for a primitive funeral ritual, he received a vision of his murder. Later, the boy who would become the Emperor calmly approached his uncle and stopped his heart with his psychic abilities, displaying neither sorrow nor malice. According to the Emperor himself, this was the moment he realized that humanity needed law, order, and the guidance of a ruler. Shortly after, he left his village for the first city of humanity (likely ancient Sumeria). Sometime later the Perpetual Erda met the Emperor, already a warlord attempting to accelerate Human evolution and guide the race into a superior species. Erda became one of the Emperor's followers as He attempted to seek out and recruit every Perpetual on Earth to His cause. During this ancient time, the Emperor was known as Neoth.
公元前8世纪，帝皇出生在(安纳托利亚)萨卡里亚河岸边的一个原始赫梯村庄，父母都是凡人，年轻时就展现了他的力量。年轻时，帝皇的父亲被他的叔叔谋杀了。在为父亲的尸体准备葬礼仪式时，他看到了自己被谋杀的景象。后来，这位后来成为帝皇的男孩平静地走近他的叔叔，用他的灵能能力停止了他的心脏，既没有表现出悲伤，也没有表现出恶意。据帝皇本人所说，这是他意识到人类需要法律、秩序和统治者领导的时刻。不久之后，他离开了村庄，前往人类的第一座城市（可能是古代苏美尔）。不久之后，永生者尔达遇到了皇帝，当时她已经是一个试图加速人类进化并将种族引导至优势物种的军阀。尔达成为帝皇的追随者之一，因为帝皇试图寻找并招募地球上每一个永生者来支持他的事业。在这个古老的时代，皇帝被称为尼欧斯。
At some point before recorded history, the Emperor became a king and organized his own armies with the Perpetual that will become known as Ollanius Persson as his Warmaster. Seeking to protect and guide Humanity, the two friends besieged a tower in East Phoenicia built by the Cult that will become known as the Cognitae. After their forces succeeded in capturing the tower, they discovered it covered in Enuncia and bleeding in the corruption power of the Warp. Ollanius demanded the tower destroyed, while the Emperor wished to preserve the knowledge it held within in order to better protect against Chaos in the future. Disillusioned with the Emperor, Ollanius stabbed his king with a dagger and then uttered a line of Enuncia to destroy the tower and escape.
在有成记录的历史之前的某个时候，帝皇成为了王者，并组建了自己的军队，启用了后来作为他的战帅而被知晓的永生者欧兰尼奥斯·佩松。为了保护和引导人类，这两位朋友围攻了东腓尼基的一座将作为闻道学派而闻名的邪教建造的塔。在他们的部队成功占领了这座塔后，他们发现它被暗言覆盖着，并在亚空间的腐败力量中血流不止。欧兰尼奥斯要求摧毁这座塔，而帝皇则希望保留其中的知识，以便在未来更好地抵御混沌。欧兰尼奥斯对帝皇感到失望，用匕首刺向他的王，然后发出一道暗言摧毁了塔楼并逃离。
The immortal being who would become known as the Emperor proceeded to haunt the history of humanity as a ghost; watching, waiting and occasionally influencing. Living secretly amongst mankind, he developed his abilities until his psychic might allowed him to gain knowledge of not only his own world, but of the dangers beyond it. Aware then of the vast predations awaiting humanity, the being that would become known as the Emperor resolved to guide and protect humanity. The Emperor took many forms during this time, both male and female. Some were brutal conquerors, some became meek to inherit the Earth. One identity of the Emperor during this time was Alexander the Great, and in an account given by Horus it is said that He wept before the River Hyphasis when He thought there were no more worlds to conquer. Not long after, He discovered what would be named the Golden Throne.
这位后来被称为帝皇的不朽之人继续以鬼魂的身份萦绕在人类历史上；观察、等待，偶尔施加影响。他隐秘地生活在人类之中，提升自己的能力，直到他的灵能能力允许他获得自己世界的知识，以及在那之上的危险。意识到等待着人类的巨大危机，这位后来被称为帝皇的存在决心指引并保护人类。在此期间，帝皇使用了多种形态，包括男性和女性。有些形态是残酷的征服者，有些形态是温和的地球继承者。在此期间，帝皇的一个身份是亚历山大大帝，在荷鲁斯的一份报告中，据说当他认为没有更多的世界可以征服时，他在希帕西斯河前落泪。不久之后，他发现了将被命名为黄金王座的物体。
During the Dark Age of Technology, Alivia Sureka traveled with the man who would become the Emperor to the planet Molech, where there was a gateway into the realm of Chaos. The Emperor entered the Gateway, and there made a bargain with the Dark Gods and emerged wielding a measure of their power, including the ability to create the Primarchs. However for some reason, the Emperor did not keep his end of the bargain to spread Chaos to humanity, and he became the anathema of Ruinous Powers. The Emperor was able to clone the energies he was imbued with, giving them to his Primarchsafter combining his own genetic material with that of Erda's.At some point in Earth's history the Emperor discovered an ancient device beneath the ruins of Asia's deserts and became determined to completely cut off humanity from the malignant influence of the Warp. The first step of this grand project was to substitute warp travel with the Webway, and the final phase would see the Emperor shepherd humanity's evolution into a truly psychic race independent of Chaos, ascending to a level not even the Eldar were able to. This grand ambition was to guide all of the Emperor's undertakings and would be the culmination of his planning.
在黑暗科技时代，阿里维亚·苏雷卡与后来成为帝皇的人一起前往摩洛星，那里有一个通往混沌领域的门户。帝皇进入了大门，在那里与黑暗诸神达成了协议，并驾驭着他们的一部分力量的出现了，包括创造原体的能力。然而出于某种原因，帝皇没有遵守将混沌传播给人类的协议，他成为了毁灭力量的被诅咒者。帝皇能复制他被灌输的能量，并将自己的遗传物质与尔达的遗传物质结合后，将它们交给他的稳定原体。在泰拉历史的某个时刻，帝皇在亚洲沙漠的废墟下发现了一个古老的装置，并决心完全切断亚空间对人类的恶性影响。这个宏伟项目的第一步是用网道代替亚空间航行，最终阶段将可以看到帝皇带领人类进化成一个独立于混沌的真正的灵能种族，提升到连艾达灵族都无法达到的水平。这个宏伟的抱负指引着帝皇的所有事业，并将成为他计划的终点。
Rise of the Emperor 帝皇的崛起
The man who would later become known as the Emperor first appeared openly as one of the many warlords struggling for control of Terra during the latter part of the Age of Strife. He was at this point just another Terran warlord, but he met Malcador who convinced him to take the title of Emperor. He was once known as the Master of the Lines in a mountainous region of Terra. There he would seek out individuals whose genetics he could use in his Thunder Warrior project, as well as offer services of gene-editing the offspring children in the region to correct genetic mutations. It was during this time he met Amar Astarte, who he and Erda worked closely with on the Primarch Project. He also met Ezekiel Sedayne, who would later develop the Black Carapace for the successors of the Thunder Warriors: The Legio Astartes. The Emperor undertook a series of campaigns against all the other warlords on the planet that would later become termed as the Unification Wars. During these wars the Emperor employed several military formations - such as the Thunder Warriors and Geno Five-Two Chiliad — that consisted of genetically altered/engineered warriors, who played a significant role in his eventual victory. With this victory, the planet and population of Terra were at last unified under one rule; that of the Emperor. With this achievement behind him, the Emperor then set in motion his plans to take his purpose of uniting and guarding mankind out into the stars, to unify with the bastions of humanity scattered across the galaxy. This undertaking would become known as the Great Crusade. The prospect of the Great Crusade and the bitter fate of the Primarchs horrified Erda, who viewed the creations as her sons.
这位后来被称为帝皇的人首次公开露面，是在纷争时代后期为控制泰拉而斗争的众多军阀之一。此时，他只是另一个人族军阀，但他遇到了马卡多，马卡多说服他接受了帝皇的称号。他曾在泰拉的山脉地区被称为血统大师。在那里，他正寻找可以在他的“雷霆战士”计划中能使用其基因的人，并为该地区的后代提供基因编辑服务，以纠正基因突变。正是在这段时间里，他遇到了阿马尔·阿斯塔特，与他和尔达在基因原体计划上密切合作。他还遇到了以西结·赛丹，后者后来为雷霆战士的接替者阿斯塔特军团研发了黑色甲壳。帝皇对星球上所有其他军阀发动了一系列战役，后来被称为统一战争。在这些战争中，皇帝使用了几种军队编队，如雷霆战士和千夫团，由基因改造/工程战士组成，在他最终的胜利中发挥了重要作用。通过这场胜利，泰拉的环境和人口终于统一在帝皇的统治之下。在达成这一成就之后，皇帝开始实施他的计划，在群星中团结并保护人类，与散布在银河各地的人类堡垒联合起来。这项事业后来被称为大远征。大远征的前景和原体们的悲惨命运让尔达感到震惊，她把这些造物视为自己的儿子。
The Emperor of Mankind 人类帝皇
The Emperor prepared extensively for the Great Crusade; he created the special astrotelepath corps to link his eventual dominion together, and caused the creation of the Astronomican, a supremely powerful signal device powered by the Emperor's own psychic might that would allow simplified and safer travel through the Warp. Chief amongst his designs, however, were the creation of superhuman warriors, the logical extension of the gene-troopers already under his command. He had first undertaken the Primarch Project, the creation of twenty infants from his own genetic code, designed to mature into powerful generals for his armies. However, this plan went awry with the intervention of the Chaos Powers. Other sources state that the Emperor's longtime collegue and fellow Perpetual Erda cast the Primarchs into the Warp to deny the Emperor His plans for them. While accounts vary as to exactly what happened, the end of the tale is always the same; the Primarchs were cast into the Warp and thought lost. During the tumultuous event, the Emperor's gene-lab was devastated by the forces that scattered the Primarchs. He held up the collapsing underground roof with his psychic power until the vaults workers and data could be safely evacuated. Afterwards Malcador and Constantin Valdor believed the Primarchs dead or corrupted. However, the Emperor sensed their echoes in the Warp and knew they were still alive. Malcador was surprised that the Emperor began to refer to the lost Primarchs as his "sons", something Valdor saw as an "ebb" in his attempts to suppress his human emotions.
帝皇为大远征做了广泛的准备；他建立了特殊的星语者群体，最终将他的统治链接在一起，并促成了星炬的诞生，这是一种由帝皇自己的灵能力量驱动的极其强大的信号装置，可以允许更简单且安全地穿越亚空间。然而，他的主要设计是对超级人类战士的创造，这是已经在他的指挥下的基因战士的逻辑延伸。他首先负责了“原体计划”，根据自己的遗传编码创造了二十个婴儿，旨在为他的军队培育出强大的将领。然而，在混沌力量的干预下，这个计划出了差错。其他消息来源称，帝皇的老同事和同伴永生者尔达将原体们投入亚空间，以否定帝皇对他们的计划。虽然关于到底发生了什么，说法各不相同，但故事的结局总是一样的；原体们被投进亚空间并被认为失踪了。在动荡的事件中，帝皇的基因实验室被分散的原体的力量摧毁了。他用他的灵能力量支撑着倒塌的地下屋顶，直到工人们和数据能够安全转移。后来，马卡多和康斯坦丁·瓦尔多认为原体已经死亡或堕落。然而，帝皇感觉到他们在亚空间中的回响，知道他们还活着。令马卡多感到惊讶的是，帝皇开始将失踪的原体称为他的“儿子”，瓦尔多认为这是他试图抑制作为人类情感的“衰落”。
In the aftermath of these events, the Emperor evolved a new plan. Using genetic material which had been derived from the Primarchs, he created a caste of warriors which would possess some of the qualities of the Primarchs. These successors to the genetically-altered warriors of the Unification Era were the Legiones Astartes, the Space Marines of the First Founding. After purging the Thunder Warriors and replacing them with these more efficient warriors, The Emperor led the Space Marines into the reconquest of the Sol System. He drove Xenos enslavers from the moons of Saturn and Jupiter and most importantly, achieved peace and eventual integration with the Mechanicum of Mars. This alliance provided the Emperor with much of the means and materiel to extend his crusade into the stars.
在这些事件之后，帝皇制定了一项新计划。他利用从原体那里获得的遗传物质，创造了一种具有原体的某些特质的战士。这些统一时代基因改造战士的继任者是阿斯塔特军团，即初次建军的星际战士。在清除雷霆战士并用这些更高效的战士取而代之之后，帝皇带领星际战士重新征服了太阳系。他将异形奴役者从土星和木星的卫星上驱逐，最重要的是，他实现了和平，并最终与火星的机械神教结合。这一同盟为帝皇提供了大量的财富和物资，并将他的大远征扩张到群星之中。
With the final abatement of the Warp storms began the Great Crusade. The Emperor's forces rediscovered human worlds, cast out alien oppressors, and claimed new territory aplenty. Perhaps most importantly, the Emperor, leading his crusade, rediscovered his lost sons, the Primarchs. Scattered throughout space, the infants were found one-by-one over a period of many decades, and reunited with their father and their kin. All were placed in command of the Astartes Legions created from their respective gene-seed and played their part in forging their father's Imperium.
随着亚空间风暴的最终减弱，大远征开始了。帝皇的军队重新收复了人类的众多世界，驱逐了外星压迫者，并宣称了大量新领土。也许最重要的是，帝皇在领导他的大远征时，重新发现了他失踪的儿子——原体。几十年来，这些婴儿分散在宇宙中，一个接一个地被发现，并与他们的父亲和子嗣团聚。所有人都被置于由他们各自的基因种子创建的阿斯塔特军团的指挥位置，并在铸造他们父亲的帝国中发挥了作用。
First amongst the Primarchs was Horus, said to be first discovered and first honoured. However, a contradictory and dubious account given by Alpharius states that he was the first recovered by the Emperor, being found directly on Terra itself.Whatever the truth of Horus' order of discovery, the two fought together at the forefront of the early Great Crusade. The Emperor protected Horus during the Siege of Reillis while Horus repaid the favor during the Battle of Gorro.During the Battle of Gyros-Thravian, the Emperor slew the mighty Ork Warboss Gharkul Blackfang after it had held off three of his Primarchs. Some 200 years into the Great Crusade, the Emperor decided to return to Terra and placed Horus in charge of the military advancement of his Imperium in his stead. Granting him the title of Warmaster after the Ullanor Crusade, the Emperor declared that the time had come for his sons to show him what great leaders they were. Turning his back on direct military interventions, the Emperor then created the Council of Terra, the Imperial Tithe and expanded the civil governing bodies of the Imperium, before retiring in seclusion beneath the Imperial Palace to begin work upon his greatest ambition, the Webway Project. At some point, the Emperor left the Palace to decree the Edict of Nikea, forbidding the use of Librarians within the Astartes Legions.
第一个回归和被尊重的原体是荷鲁斯。然而，阿尔法瑞斯给出的一个矛盾和可疑的说法是，他是第一个被帝皇直接在泰拉上发现的。无论荷鲁斯回归顺序的真相如何，两人都在大远征早期的前线并肩作战。帝皇在莱利斯围城期间保护了荷鲁斯，而荷鲁斯在戈罗战役中回报了他的恩惠。在杰罗斯-萨洛维安战役中，帝皇杀死了强大的兽人军阀伽尔库·黑牙，此时他已经找回了三位原体。大远征开始约200年后，帝皇决定返回泰拉，并让荷鲁斯代替他负责帝国的军事推进。在乌兰诺远征后，帝皇授予他战帅的称号，并宣布他的儿子们是时候向他展示他们是多么伟大的领袖了。帝皇放弃了直接的军事干预，随后创建了泰拉议会，即帝国议会，并扩大了帝国的民政管理机构，然后隐居在帝国皇宫之下，开始实现他最大的事业，即网道计划。在某个时刻，皇帝离开宫殿颁布了《尼凯亚法令》，禁止阿斯塔特军团使用智库。
The Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱
This turn of events did not please all of the Emperor's subjects, several of his sons in particular. In the final stages of the Great Crusade, the Emperor's most trusted son Horus succumbed to Chaos temptation. Horus was told that the reason the Emperor had left the Great Crusade was so he could attempt to reach godhood, abandon all his sons and betray one of the central tenants of the Great Crusade (to enlighten humanity and free it from the bonds of false gods). Horus saw it as his duty to save the Imperium and turned on his father. Having corrupted fully half of the Space Marine Legions, Horus led them against the Emperor and plunged the fledgling galactic empire into a colossal civil war. This became the most terrible conflict in human history, and billions perished as the Traitor Legions tore apart the empire they had helped to forge.The Emperor's son Magnus attempted to warn his father of the coming slaughter, but his telepathic message breached the Emperor's psychic wardings at the Imperial Palace and caused a grievous malfunction in the Golden Throne. Distraught, the Emperor ignored Magnus' warning and banished his son from his sight. The Emperor then dispatched the Space Wolves under Leman Russ to bring back Magnus before him in chains. However the now-corrupted Horus intercepted the Emperor's order and changed it, instead ordering the Thousand Sons destroyed.
这一事件并没有使帝皇的所有臣民满意，尤其是他的几个儿子。在大远征的最后阶段，帝皇最信任的儿子荷鲁斯屈服于混沌的诱惑。荷鲁斯被告知，皇帝离开大远征的原因是为了登神，抛弃所有的儿子，背叛大远征的核心目标之一（启蒙人类，将其从虚假神灵的束缚中解放出来）。荷鲁斯认为拯救帝国是他的责任，于是背叛了他的父亲。在腐蚀了整整一半的星际战士后，荷鲁斯带领他们对抗帝皇，将这个羽翼未丰的银河帝国拖入了一场巨大的内战。这成为了人类历史上最可怕的冲突，随着叛乱军团撕裂他们帮助建立的帝国，数十亿人丧生。帝皇的儿子马格努斯试图警告他的父亲即将到来的屠杀，但他的灵能通信在帝皇在帝国皇宫设下的灵能防护上打开了一个缺口，导致黄金王座严重故障。心烦意乱的帝皇无视了马格努斯的警告，将他的儿子逐出了他的视线。随后，帝皇派遣黎曼·鲁斯率领的太空野狼军团，用锁链将马格努斯带回他面前。然而，现在堕落的荷鲁斯拦截了帝皇的命令并改变了它，下令摧毁千子军团。
The Emperor confronting Horus 帝皇对抗荷鲁斯
Magnus' Folly 马格努斯的愚行
For the rest of the Heresy, the Emperor was forced to deal with the Golden Throne's malfunction, which created a Warp Breach in the depths of the Imperial Palace. As Daemons flooded through the breach, the Custodian Guard and Sisters of Silence held them at bay while the Emperor punishingly exerted himself on the Golden Throne to prevent all of Terra itself from being swallowed. With his attentions turned to this crisis, the Emperor left management of Horus' rebellion to Malcador and Rogal Dorn. During this sad state of affairs, the Emperor engaged in telepathic communications with the lowly Astropath Kai Zulane, who had been given a vision of the Heresy's conclusion. During their psychic communiques, the Emperor revealed he not only already knew his ultimate fate, but had accepted it.
在叛乱的其余时间里，帝皇被迫处理黄金王座的故障，这在皇宫深处形成了亚空间裂隙。当恶魔们涌入缺口时，禁军守卫和寂静修女们将他们拒之于外，而帝皇则被迫地坐上了黄金王座，以防止整个泰拉被吞噬。随着他的注意力转向这场危机，帝皇将荷鲁斯叛乱的管理权交给了马卡多和罗格·多恩。在这种糟糕的情况下，帝皇与星语者凯祖兰进行了灵能交流，凯祖兰已经看到了叛乱的结局。在他们的灵能交流中，帝皇透露他不仅已经知道自己的最终命运，而且已经接受了。
Later Corax, distraught over the disaster on Isstvan V, arrived at the Emperor's palace and demanded audience with the Emperor. Diverting some of his attention to the strenuous task of maintaining the Golden Throne, the Emperor psychically imbued part of the secrets of creating Astartes into his son's mind. Thus, Corax was able to begin rebuilding the Raven Guard.
后来，科拉克斯对伊斯特万五号的灾难感到心烦意乱，来到帝皇的宫殿，要求会见帝皇。帝皇将部分注意力转移到维护黄金王座的艰巨任务上，通过灵能将创造阿斯塔特的部分秘密灌输到儿子的脑海中。因此，科拉克斯得以开始重建暗鸦守卫。
After five years of maintaining the stability of Magnus' webway breach on the Golden Throne, the Emperor began to exhibit physical fatigue. He finally began to show signs of exhaustion and his nose would bleed, even in the telepathic visions he sent to his Custodian Tribune Ra Endymion. After sensing the birth of the powerful Daemon Drach'nyen in the Warp the Emperor knew the war in the Webway was reaching its climax and the fate of mankind would soon be decided. He ordered the Sisters of Silence to gather a thousand psykers across the galaxy and sacrifice them to the Golden Throne. This allowed the Throne to be powered for a single day without the Emperor's presence, and he used that time to plunge into the Webway and rescue the retreating Imperial forces. After sweeping aside the Daemonic hordes he confronted Drach'nyen and sealed it into the body of Ra Endymion, telling him to run as far as he could into the depths of the Webway in order to keep humanity safe from its influence. Afterwards the Emperor was forced to seal the Webway portal on Terra by again becoming a prisoner to the Golden Throne. The Emperor lamented that his great work was ruined and maintained that now that the Webway Project had failed, humanity was ultimately doomed. Horus would be defeated by his hands, but someone else would take his place. To the shock of his Custodian Diocletian, the Emperor declared the Imperium ultimately doomed, be it in a year or ten thousand, and for the first time admitted he did not know what to do.
在维持马格努斯在黄金王座上的造成的网道缺口的稳定性五年后，帝皇开始表现出身体疲劳。他最终开始出现疲惫的迹象，鼻子会流血，即使在他发给禁军保民官拉·恩底弥翁的灵能幻象中也是如此。在感知到强大的恶魔德拉科·尼恩在亚空间中的诞生后，帝皇知道网道的战争正在达到高潮，人类的命运很快就会决定。他命令寂静修女会在银河系各地召集一千名灵能者，并将其牺牲给黄金王座。这使得王座可以在没有帝皇在场的情况下运行一天，他利用这段时间进入网道，营救撤退的帝国军队。在扫除了恶魔群后，他与德拉科·尼恩对峙，并将其封印在拉·恩底弥翁的体内，告诉他尽可能深入网道的深处，以保护人类免受其影响。后来，帝皇被迫再次成为黄金王座的囚犯，封锁了泰拉上的网道门户。帝皇哀叹他的伟大事业被摧毁了，并坚称既然网道计划失败了，人类最终注定要灭亡。荷鲁斯会被他击败，但其他人会取代他的位置。令他的禁军戴克里先震惊的是，帝皇宣言帝国最终注定要灭亡，无论是一年还是一万年，并首次承认他不知道该怎么办。
Shortly before the Siege of Terra, the Emperor appeared before the nine chosen champions of Malcador's Knights-Errant. The Master of Mankind stated that while his original Space Marines were built to wage war in the Material, these new chosen must build a new order to wage war against the immaterial. Their fight against Horus was over, but their mission to come would nonetheless be necessary for the survival of humanity. The Emperor revealed he was initially hesitant to fight against these forces directly, seeking instead to contain it. However Malcador was eventually able to convince him that direct action was needed. After telling them of their role, the Emperor bid them farewell as Malcador's confidant Ael Wyntor created a portal to Titan.
在泰拉围城之前不久，皇帝出现在马卡多的游侠骑士的九名神选冠军面前。人类之主表示，虽然他最初的星际战士是为了发动现实宇宙的战争而创造的，但这些新选择的人必须建立一种新的秩序来对抗混沌。他们与荷鲁斯的战斗已经结束，但他们的使命对于人类的生存仍然是必要的。帝皇透露，他最初对直接对抗这些势力犹豫不决，试图遏制它们。然而，马卡多最终说服了他，需要采取直接行动。在告诉他们他们的角色后，皇帝向他们告别，马卡多的密友艾兰· 温特创造了一个通往泰坦(土卫六)的门户。
Siege of Terra 泰拉围城
As Horus besieged the Sol System in the Materium, so did the Ruinous Powers assail the Imperium in the Immaterium. The Emperor alone held back the tides of the Warp from the Sol System. During these struggles, he often took the form of a prehistoric, weary, old man in a fur coat huddled over a dying fire. As Horus finally arrived in the Sol System he appeared to the Emperor as a feral wolf, goading the Emperor and declaring him a tyrant and liar. The Emperor refused to even respond to Horus in these exchanges, looking past him to instead announce his rejection of the Ruinous Powers and declaring their puppet as nothing. As the embers of his fire died, the shadows around him drew closer and closer. As Horus arrived directly over Terra, the fire finally died and Horus gloated that the only option left for his father was to run. In the early stages of the Siege of Terra the Emperor was confined to the Throne, maintaining a psychic barrier that kept Daemons from manifesting on Terra. The barrier was so strong that even the Daemon Primarchs were unable to penetrate it. The traitors were eventually able to overcome the barrier through a warp ritual involving the mass sacrifice of lives on Terra, though even then its remaining power kept the likes of Angron from being able to fly past the walls of the Imperial Palace.
当荷鲁斯围攻现实宇宙中的太阳系时，毁灭的力量也在亚空间袭击了帝国。帝皇独自阻止了太阳系的亚空间浪潮。在这些抗争中，他经常显现为一个古老的、疲惫的、穿着毛皮大衣的老人蜷缩在一场将熄的火中。当荷鲁斯最终抵达太阳系时，他在帝皇面前表现的像一只野狼，激怒帝皇并宣告他是一个暴君和骗徒。帝皇甚至拒绝在这些交流中回应荷鲁斯，而是越过荷鲁斯宣布他对毁灭力量的否决，并断言他们的傀儡一无是处。随着余烬的熄灭，他周围的阴影越来越近。当荷鲁斯直接到达泰拉上空时，大火终于熄灭了，荷鲁斯幸灾乐祸地说，他父亲唯一的选择就是逃跑。在泰拉围城的早期阶段，帝皇被限制在王座上维持着灵能屏障，阻止恶魔在泰拉上显现。这道屏障非常坚固，就连恶魔原体也无法穿越它。叛徒最终通过一场在泰拉上的大规模献祭的亚空间仪式解决了这道屏障，即使在那时，它的剩余力量也阻止了像安格隆这样的人飞越皇宫的墙壁。
During the Siege the Emperor deliberately allowed Magnus the Red to infiltrate the Imperial Palace. Deep inside the Imperial Dungeon a projection of the Emperor dubbed Revelation confronted Magnus and his men in the Hall of Victories. Revelation led them to the Throne Room, where Magnus came before the Emperor on the Golden Throne. Determined to go through with his vow to slay his father, Magnus obliterated the projection of Revelation and powered up his staff to deliver a killing blow to the Emperor upon the Golden Throne. However before he could carry through with the act he was blocked by Vulkan as his Thousand Sons engaged in battle with Vulkan's Draakward and Bjarki’s pack. The Emperor's eyes suddenly opened, and Magnus found himself floating through the ether with his father and witnessing the rise and fall of the galaxy's many empires. The Emperor showed Magnus a future where the Primarchs never turned against the Imperium and the last world in the galaxy was conquered in the name of mankind. In this future Magnus sat upon the Golden Throne to power the Imperial Webway, but his soul was in perpetual bliss as it drifted in the immaterium along the Emperor to discover the limits of cosmic knowledge. The Emperor stated that this future may yet happen, and Magnus could return to the loyalists side at the head of a new legion being prepared for him. Together, the Emperor and Magnus would expel the traitors from Terra and undertake the Great Scouring. However the price was steep, for the Emperor declared the Thousand Sons damned due to rampant flesh change. They could not follow Magnus back into the Emperor's embrace, and would need to be purged. This price was too much for Magnus to bear, and he again struck at the Emperor but found himself in battle with Vulkan, who eventually managed to chase the Crimson King from the Throne Room.
在围城期间，帝皇故意允许马格努斯渗透到皇宫。在帝国地牢的深处，一个被称为启示的帝皇投影在胜利大厅里与马格努斯和他的子嗣对峙。启示把他们带到了王座厅，马格努斯在那里登上了黄金王座，来到帝皇面前。马格努斯决心履行杀死父亲的誓言，抹去了启示的投影，并增强了他的子嗣，对黄金王座上的帝皇发出了致命一击。然而，在他能够完成这一行动之前，他被沃坎阻止了，因为他的千子正在与沃坎的火龙卫队和比亚基的小队作战。帝皇的眼睛突然睁开，马格努斯发现自己和父亲一起漂浮在太空中，目睹了银河系许多帝国的兴衰。帝皇向马格努斯展示了一个未来，在这个未来里，原体们永远不会转过头来对抗帝国，银河系的最后一个世界是以人类之名被征服的。在这个未来，马格努斯坐在黄金王座上为帝国网道提供动力，但他的灵魂会处于永恒的极乐之中，因为它与帝皇一起精神世界中飘荡去发现宇宙知识的极限。帝皇表示，这种未来还有着发生的可能，马格努斯可以在为他准备的新军团的带领下回到忠诚派这边。帝皇和马格努斯一起将叛徒驱逐出泰拉，并进行大清洗。然而代价很高，因为帝皇宣告千子因无约束的肉体变化而必死无疑。他们无法跟随马格努斯回到帝皇的怀抱，需要被清除。这个代价对马格努斯来说太高了，他再次向帝皇发起攻击，但却发现自己正与沃坎交战，沃坎最终设法将猩红之王赶出了王座室。
The End and the Death 死亡与终结
Mere hours after Sanguinius made his heroic stand at the Eternity Gate and Rogal Dorn's own command center fell to traitor forces, Horus' mysteriously lowered the Void Shields to his own flagship, the Vengeful Spirit. Malcador soon told the Emperor of this development, finally rousing the Master of Mankind. The Emperor gathered His remaining loyal generals to Him: Sanguinius, Dorn, Vulkan, and Constantin Valdor and against all of their objections announced his plans to teleport to the Vengeful Spirit and end His treacherous son once and for all. However, Vulkan was to stay behind and oversee the failsafe on the Golden Throne, while Sanguinius would stay behind to lead the loyalist armies on Terra. However the Blood Angels Primarch refused to obey this order, confront his father as he donned His golden armour. Sanguinius finally told the Emperor of his prophetic death at Horus' hands and his intention to defy fate by defeating his traitorous brother instead. This was enough to move the Emperor to change His mind, as He had sought to change His own fate many times in the past. Unknown to the loyalists but already discovered by Horus, Guilliman's reinforcements were just 9 hours away.
就在圣吉列斯在永恒之门英勇抵抗，罗格·多恩的指挥中心落入叛徒之手的几个小时后，荷鲁斯秘密地将自己的旗舰复仇之魂号上的虚空盾降下。马卡多很快将这一事态告诉了帝皇，最终唤醒了人类之主。帝皇召集了他剩余的忠诚将领：圣吉列斯、多恩、沃坎和康斯坦丁·瓦尔多，不顾他们的反对，宣布了他计划传送到复仇之魂号上，一劳永逸地结果他背信弃义的儿子。然而，沃坎将留下来监督以保证黄金王座上的故障无碍，而圣吉列斯将留下来领导泰拉上的忠诚部队。然而，圣血天使原体拒绝服从这一命令，在父亲穿上金甲时与他对峙。圣吉利斯最后告诉帝皇，他预言他将死于荷鲁斯之手，并打算通过击败他的叛徒兄弟来反抗命运。这足以让帝皇改变主意，因为他过去曾多次试图改变自己的命运。忠诚者们还不知道，但荷鲁斯已经发现，基里曼的增援部队距离这里只有9个小时的路程。
The Emperor battles Horus aboard the Vengeful Spirit 帝皇与荷鲁斯在复仇之魂上的战斗
Dubbing the assault Operation Anabasis, Horus used his abilities to scatter the attackers throughout the Vengeful Spirit. The Emperor and His Custodes appeared in a seemingly ordinary hangar until Horus used his dark powers to take control of many of the Companions. Blood flowing from their eyes and screaming at the effort to maintain control, dozens of the Emperor's own bodyguards attacked their liege-lord. The Emperor reluctant slew dozens of Custodes before the madness passed and He was able to cleanse the lingering taint from His companions. The Emperor and his Custodes then found themselves in the midst of Hell, with many of the warriors falling into daemonic traps until the Emperor unleashed the same psychic fire He had stolen from the Gods of Chaos to cleanse them. Horus revealed that he had held back the full measure of his strength in order to draw the Emperor in, but the Master of Mankind was undeterred by the madness unleashed on the Vengeful Spirit and announced that He was to bring death to Horus.
这次突击称为“远征行动”，荷鲁斯利用自己的能力将攻击者分散到整个复仇之魂号中。帝皇和他的禁军出现在一个看似普通的机库里，直到荷鲁斯用他的黑暗力量控制了许多禁军。数十名禁军袭击了他们的至高领主，鲜血从他们的眼睛里流出来，尖叫着试图维持控制。在疯狂过去之前，帝皇不得已杀死了几十名禁军，他能够清除同伴身上挥之不去的腐败。帝皇和他的禁军发现自己身处地狱之中，许多战士落入到恶魔的陷阱之中，直到帝皇释放出他从混沌诸神那里偷走的灵能火焰来净化他们。荷鲁斯透露，他已经全力抑制力量来吸引帝皇，但人类之主并没有被复仇之魂号释放的疯狂所吓倒，并宣告他将给荷鲁斯带来死亡。
After the Emperor felt the true extent of Horus' power as He rushed to face him aboard the Vengeful Spirit, He realized that victory would be unlikely unless He empowered Himself greatly. Out of desperation, the Emperor drank from the Warp but on a scale previously unseen. Taking the form of a lightning-sheathed sphere of obsidian, the Emperor's power was such that He even unintentionally slew all of the Custodians around Him, turning them into little more than heavily burnt walking corpses. The Emperor proceeded to sweep across the madness of the Inevitable City, causing Daemons, the Lost and the Damned and even Traitor Space Marines to flee in panic before Him. Only his Custodian Proconsul Caecaltus Dusk survived the Emperor's presence, apparently due to an earlier blessing by Malcador.
当帝皇在复仇之魂号上冲向荷鲁斯时，他感受到了荷鲁斯真正的力量，他意识到除非他赋予自己极大的力量，否则不可能胜利。出于绝望，帝皇使用了亚空间的力量，但使用的量是前所未有的。帝皇的力量就像一个被闪电覆盖的黑曜石球体，他甚至无意中杀死了他周围的所有禁军，把他们变成了严重烧伤的行尸。帝皇开始横扫必然之城的疯狂，导致恶魔、迷失者、混沌信徒甚至混沌星际战士都在他面前惊慌失措地逃跑。只有他的禁军凯卡尔图斯·达斯克在帝皇面前幸存下来，这显然是由于马卡多早些时候的祝福。
By now, the Emperor was ascending into a full Chaos God, though He believed the action was necessary in order to kill Horus and save humanity. Malcador was distressed at sensing what his friend had become, believing He had gone too far. However it was then that the Emperor was confronted by Ollanius Persson, John Grammaticus, Leetu, and Garviel Loken. Persson confronted his own friend, talking him down from the abyss of corruption by reminding Him of His humanity. Shocked that He had encountered Persson for the first time in millennia at this specific place at this specific time, Persson convinced the Emperor to have faith and give up the power He had built up even if it meant gambling humanity's future in a battle He was likely not to win. This ultimately convinced the Emperor to shed the mantle of the evolving Dark King, causing a blast of power to sweep across both Terra and the Vengeful Spirit that banished much of the Warp-madness spread by the traitors.
到目前为止，帝皇正在升格为一个完全的混沌之神，尽管他认为为了杀死荷鲁斯和拯救人类，这一行动是必要的。马卡多感觉到了他的朋友变成了什么样子而痛苦，觉得他做得太过分了。然而，就在那时，帝皇遇到了欧兰尼奥斯·佩松、约翰·格拉马迪库斯、力图和加维尔·洛肯。佩松直面自己的朋友，通过提醒他的人性，把他从腐败的深渊中拉了出来。令人震惊的是，他数千年来第一次在这个特定的时间和地点遇到了佩松，佩松说服帝皇要有信心，放弃他他拥有的力量，即使这意味着他在一场可能不会赢的战斗中赌上人类的未来。这最终说服了帝皇摆脱了升格到黑暗之王的职责，引发了一股席卷泰拉和复仇之魂号的力量冲击，驱逐了叛徒传播的大部分亚空间狂乱。
The Emperor then let out an announcement across the Vengeful Spirit for all remaining companions to come join Him in the final battle to kill Horus, a battle He was no longer certain to win. However according to Malcador, casting aside the power of the Dark King separated the Emperor from the last portion of his soul that contained compassion. Malcador hopes that one day, the Emperor may recover the fragment.
然后，帝皇通过复仇之魂号发布宣告，让所有剩余的同伴加入他杀死荷鲁斯的最后一场战斗，这场战斗他不再确定会赢。然而，根据马卡多的说法，抛弃黑暗之王的力量使帝皇与他灵魂中包含同情的最后一部分分离开来。马卡多希望有一天，帝皇能找到碎片。
The Emperor eventually reached Horus in Lupercal's Court, finding the strung up body of Sanguinius. Ignoring the Warmasters taunts, he spoke directly to the Gods of Chaos and defied them. In the ensuing battle with Horus, the Emperor and His son battled both physically and in the metaphysical realms of time and space. However despite His best efforts, even the Emperor was no match for Horus' warp-infused might and He was repeatedly struck down and grievously wounded by His treacherous son. Both a Custodian Caecaltus Dusk and Ollanius Persson gave their lives protecting the Emperor from the monstrous Horus. In the end, the Emperor tricked Horus with a illusion of Garviel Loken to convince Horus to temporarily abandon his warp powers and deliver the final blow to the Emperor as a mere Primarch in order to demonstrate that he was not a slave to Chaos. The ruse gave the Emperor the opportunity he needed to launch a final attack on the temporarily weakened Horus and as he fell into agony Horus, free from the powers of Chaos for a mere moment, begged his father to kill him. The Emperor initially hesitated but granted His son the gift of mercy with the Athame blade he had gotten from Ollanius Persson. In the aftermath of the battle the Emperor immediately collapsed and was discovered by Dorn and Valdor. In part guided by an Tarot card The Throne, the two agreed to return Him to the Golden Throne. There the Emperor has sat in silence for the last 10,000 years.
帝皇最终在卢佩卡尔王庭里找到了荷鲁斯，找到了被吊起的圣吉列斯尸体。他无视战帅的嘲讽，直接与混沌之神对话并对抗他们。在随后与荷鲁斯的战斗中，帝皇和他的儿子在物理和抽象的时间和空间领域进行了战斗。然而，尽管他尽了最大的努力，即使是帝皇也无法与荷鲁斯的亚空间力量相匹敌，他多次被背信弃义的儿子击倒并重伤。禁军凯卡尔图斯·达斯克和欧兰尼奥斯·佩松都献出了生命，保护帝皇免受可怕的荷鲁斯的攻击。最后，帝皇用加维尔·洛肯的幻像欺骗了荷鲁斯，说服荷鲁斯暂时放弃他的亚空间力量，并作为一名纯粹的原体对皇帝进行最后一击，以证明他不是混沌的奴隶。这个诡计给了皇帝一个机会，他需要对暂时被削弱的荷鲁斯发动最后的攻击，当荷鲁斯陷入痛苦时，他暂时摆脱了混沌的力量，恳求他的父亲杀了他。帝皇起初犹豫了一下，但最终用他从欧兰尼奥斯·佩松那里得到的仪式剑给了他的儿子名为仁慈的礼物。战斗结束后，帝皇立刻倒下了，被多恩和瓦尔多发现。在帝皇塔罗的王座牌的指引下，二人同意让他重返黄金王座。在过去的一万年里，皇帝一直沉默地坐在那里。
Transcendence 超凡
Enthroned within the life-sustaining Golden Throne, the Emperor's will has transcended his maimed body. The Emperor is now divorced from the day-to-day running of the Imperium; this is left to the Adeptus Terra who govern in his name.
登上维持生命的黄金王座，帝皇的意志已经超越了他残破的身体。帝皇现在脱离了帝国的日常运作；这留给了以他的名义统治的中央政务部。
The Emperor upon the Golden Throne 黄金王座上的帝皇
Now, his will is interpreted and executed by the High Lords of Terra, his worship is regulated by the Ecclesiarchy, his law enforced by the Adeptus Arbites, his form guarded by the Adeptus Custodes, and his people protected from the horrors of the galaxy and from even themselves by the Inquisition. The Emperor is confined within the Golden Throne, vast biomechanical machinery forming the great Sanctum Imperialis, located deep within the continent-spanning complex on Terra known as the Imperial Palace. There the Emperor's physical form is sustained by carefully maintained machinery. Physically, the enthroned Emperor of Mankind is a ravaged corpse. The last surviving cells in his shattered body are sustained by the Golden Throne, providing an anchor for the Emperor's spirit, which extends across the entire Imperium. The Emperor and the Golden Throne continue to function through the daily sacrifice of thousands of Psykers. While his body is sustained, his will endures. His existence is said to be an unending torment, with his every thought enslaved to the task of ruling, guiding and protecting his race. Ultimately it is only his will to endure that allows him to survive, as he knows his death would lead to the destruction of the Imperium and leave mankind without the guidance it needs to survive.
现在，他的意志由泰拉高领主解释和执行，对他的崇拜由国教教会规范，他的法律由法务部执行，他的形体由禁军保护，他的人民免受银河系的恐怖，甚至免受审判庭的恐怖。皇帝被限制在黄金王座上，巨大的生物学机械形成了伟大的帝国圣地，位于被称为帝国皇宫的泰拉上横跨大陆的建筑群深处。在那里，帝皇的身体形态是由精心维护的机械结构维持的。从身体上讲，王座上的人类帝皇是一具损坏的尸体。他破碎的身体中最后幸存的细胞由黄金王座支持，为帝皇的精神提供了锚，这种精神贯穿整个帝国。帝皇和黄金王座继续通过每天成千上万灵能者的牺牲发挥作用。只要他的身体得到支持，他的意志就会持续。据说他的存在是一种无休止的折磨，他的每一个思想都被统治、引导和保护他的种族的任务所奴役。最终，只有他的忍耐意志才能让他生存下来，因为他知道他的死亡将导致帝国的毁灭，并使人类失去生存所需的引导。
Only through his power can the Astronomican beam its guiding light, allowing Imperial ships to navigate the Warp in relative safety. The Emperor is not just a beacon for space travel, however, but is said to continue to guide humanity through his Tarot, and through dreams and visions given to selected individuals. It is also popularly believed that he created the warp storm known as the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath during the Age of Apostasy, and that the Emperor's will holds Chaos at bay. Were it not for his unceasing struggle, the Chaos of the Warp would flood the material realm with madness and horror, causing untold destruction. In addition, the Emperor's presence on the Golden Throne keeps the ruptured Webway portal beneath the Imperial Palace in check. Should it again open, Terra would become flooded by Daemons. In addition to these already profound powers, the Emperor is capable of stopping time for undetermined lengths and guiding his servants through manipulation of his Tarot and sheer influence.
只有通过他的力量，星炬才能发出指引之光，让帝国船只在相对安全的情况下航行。然而，帝皇不仅仅是星际航行的灯塔，据说他将继续通过帝皇塔罗以及通过赋予特定个人梦境或幻象来引导人类。人们还普遍认为，他在叛教时代创造了被称为“帝皇之怒”的亚空间风暴，帝皇的意志遏制了混沌。如果不是因为他不断的斗争，亚空间的混沌将使疯狂和恐怖充斥在现实世界，造成无法估量的破坏。此外，帝皇登上黄金王座，使皇宫下方破裂的网道门户得以控制。如果它再次打开，泰拉将被恶魔淹没。除了这些已经很强大的力量，帝皇还能够让时间以不确定的长度停滞，并通过操纵帝皇塔罗和纯粹的影响来引导他的侍从。
Shortly before his own death Konrad Curze spoke to a corpse-puppet of the Emperor he had created. Shockingly, the grotesque work of art began speaking back and shone with blinding light. The voice stated that Curze had acted as intended and like all the Primarchs had been built for a specific purpose, but Chaos had interfered with his plans in the end. At the same time, the voice scolded Curze for believing that fate was absolute and instead blamed the Primarch's own choices for what would soon befall him. The conversation sent Curze into a frenzy and he tore the corpse-puppet to pieces, and it is unknown if this was a mere hallucination or indeed the actual voice of the Emperor.
康拉德·科兹在死亡前不久，与他创造的帝皇的尸傀交谈。令人震惊的是，这件怪诞的作品开始回话，并发出耀眼的光芒。那个声音说，科兹的行为符合他的意图，就像所有的原体都是为了特定的目的而创造的一样，但混沌最终干扰了他的计划。与此同时，这个声音斥责科兹相信命运是绝对的，而且将很快降临到他身上的事情归咎于原体自己的选择。这场谈话让科兹陷入疯狂，他把尸傀撕成碎片，不知道这是幻觉还是帝皇的真实声音。
One of the few conversations between an Imperial subject and the immobilized Emperor occurred at the end of the 41st Millennium. Following the Terran Crusade, the reborn Roboute Guilliman stood before the Golden Throne and communed with the Emperor. The Primarch was disturbed by what had become of his father's mental state. He felt that the Emperor had lost all pretenses of humanity and gave off an overwhelming sense of coldness. The Emperor greeted Guilliman with interest, but as a creator would a long-lost tool, not as a father would with his son. Guilliman feared that the centuries of suffering had stripped away whatever warmth and humanity he once had. What exactly transpirted in the Throne room is unclear, with both Guilliman and Captain-General Trajann Valoris having no memory of what exactly transpired. Apparently, during their conversation the Emperor called Guilliman both a tool and his son and the last hope to save Mankind. He assaulted Guilliman's mind with an overload of information and dark truths of the Galaxy before going silent once more.
在第41个千年末期，一位帝国臣民和动弹不得的帝皇之间发生了为数不多的对话之一。在人类远征之后，重生的罗伯特·基里曼站在黄金王座前与帝皇交谈。原体被他父亲的精神状态所困扰。他觉得帝皇已经失去了所有伪装的人性，散发出一种压倒性的冷漠感。帝皇饶有兴趣地迎接基里曼，但是是作为一个创造者对待一个失踪已久的工具，而不是像父亲对待儿子那样。基里曼担心，几个世纪的折磨剥夺了他曾经拥有的温暖和人性。目前尚不清楚在王座室里到底发生了什么，基里曼和大统领图拉真·瓦洛里斯都不记得到底发生了什么。显然，在他们的谈话中，帝皇称基里曼既是工具，也是儿子，是拯救人类的最后希望。在再次沉默之前，他用大量信息和银河系的黑暗真相突袭了基里曼的脑海。
During the Plague Wars the Emperor would seemingly intervene through Militant-Apostolic Mathieu in order to both destroy a portion of the Cauldron of Nurgle on Iax as well as resurrect Guilliman, who had been slain by Mortarion via the disease known as the Godblight. Channeling his power through Guilliman, the Emperor unleashed a mighty blow through the Immaterium which damaged the Garden of Nurgle and the Plague God directly. Before dying Mathieu came to believe that the Great Rift was now empowering the Emperor, who was close to reawakening. Guilliman seemed to believe the Priest and began to dabble with Belisarius Cawl on ideas on how to bring back his father.
在瘟疫战争期间，帝皇似乎会通过战争使徒马蒂厄进行干预，以摧毁拉克斯纳垢巨釜的一部分，并复活基里曼，他被莫塔里安通过被称为神瘟的瘟疫杀死。帝皇通过基里曼引导他的力量，在亚空间发动了一次强大的猛击，直接伤害了纳垢花园和瘟疫之神。临死前，马蒂厄开始相信大裂隙现在正在赋予帝皇力量，而帝皇已经接近苏醒。基里曼似乎相信了牧师，并开始与贝利撒留·考尔探讨如何带回父亲的想法。
