Belisarius Cawl is an Archmagos Dominus of the Adeptus Mechanicus who has been involved in one of the Imperium's greatest secrets for many centuries. He first appeared openly during the Thirteenth Black Crusade of the late 41st Millennium. Cawl is known as the Dominatus Dominus, the Master of Masters, one of the highest ranks available in the Mechanicum. Unlike many Tech-Priests within the Mechanicum he does not seek to copy or discover lost technology, but to innovate.
贝利撒留·考尔是机械神教的统御大贤者，几个世纪以来一直参与帝国最大的秘密之一。他首次公开露面是在41千年末的第十三次黑暗远征期间。考尔被称为统御之主，大师中的大师，是机械神教中可获得额的最高级别之一。与机械神教中的许多技术神甫不同，他不寻求复制或发现丢失的技术，而是寻求创新。

History 历史
Cawl himself is over ten thousand years old, predating even the Imperium itself, though how exactly he has sustained his life for so long is unknown. Cawl has been memory wiped at least twice, leaving his own origins a mystery even to himself. It is thought that he has used forbidden alien methods technology with mechanical bionics to sustain his life at the cost of any humanity he may have had left.
考尔本人已有一万多年的历史，甚至早于帝国本身，尽管他究竟是如何维持这么长时间的生命尚不清楚。考尔的记忆至少被抹去了两次，甚至对他自己来说，他的起源都是一个谜。人们认为，他使用了被禁止的外星技术和机械仿生学来维持自己的生命，代价是他可能留下的任何人性。
The young Belisarius Cawl during the Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱时期的年轻贝利撒留·考尔
Heresy-era 叛乱时代
Cawl was born on Mars sometime in M31 in the facilities of Xanthe Terra which belonged to Magos Biologis Hammareth. Like most Martian children he was vat-born and at the time of his birth already was a young adolescent. However unlike most children he was able to speak normally at the time of his birth, a result of absorbing the inloaded data while he was being grown in his vat. Cawl first appears in history during the Horus Heresy, where he was a Tech-Acolyte on the Mechanicum world of Trisolian-A4. He was trained under Hester Aspertia Sigma-Sigma, herself a master of soul-merging. Cawl, the last remaining disciple of the art of soul merging, at this time maintained that the Emperor was the Omnissiah, but disagreed with a great deal of Mechanicum dogma as he felt they should innovate rather than ritualistically maintain. He believed in the human form, and refused many of the more visible cybernetic modifications utilized by other Tech-Priests. However during this time, the young Cawl secretly performed illegal brain enhancement surgeries on himself in order to increase his own intelligence. Later the Trisolian System assaulted by traitor forces led by Horus himself, and Cawl was betrayed when his master Hester Aspertia Sigma-Sigma defected to the Warmaster. He became disgusted at the sight of the corrupted Horus, but feigned submission to survive. Later during the battle, Cawl, along with his colleague Friedisch Adum Ship Qvo were able to kill Aspertia and escape the Trisolian System - but not before Cawl absorbed his masters intelligence core and mastery of cloning.
考尔出生在M31的火星的克珊忒台地设施中，该设施属于生物贤者哈马瑞斯。像大多数火星孩子一样，他出生在火星上，出生时已经是一个年轻的少年。然而，与大多数孩子不同的是，他出生时能够正常说话，这是他在罐里成长时吸收了加载的数据的结果。考尔首次出现在历史上的荷鲁斯叛乱时期，当时他是特里索兰-A4机械世界的技术助手。他在海丝特·阿斯佩蒂亚·西格玛-西格玛指导下接受训练，海丝特·阿斯佩蒂亚·西格玛本人是灵魂融合的大师。考尔是灵魂融合艺术的最后一位弟子，他当时坚持认为帝皇是欧姆尼赛亚，但不同意大量的机械神教教条，因为他认为这些教条应该创新而不是仪式化地维护。他相信人类的形态，并拒绝了其他技术神甫使用的许多更明显的智控修改。然而，在这段时间里，年轻的考尔为了提高自己的智力，秘密地对自己进行了非法的脑部增强手术。后来，由荷鲁斯本人领导的叛徒势力袭击了特里索兰星系，当他的主人海丝特·阿斯佩蒂亚·西格玛-西格玛叛逃到战帅时，考尔被背叛了。他一看到堕落的荷鲁斯就感到厌恶，但为了生存，他假装屈服。在战斗的后期，考尔和他的同事弗里迪希·阿杜姆·西利普·邱弗杀死了阿斯佩蒂亚并逃离特里索兰星系，但在此之前考尔吸收了他的主人的算力核心和克隆技术。
Following Trisolian, Cawl and Friedisch went to Terra where he came under the tutelage of Ezekiel Sedayne. In truth, Sedayne simply wanted Cawl's knowledge to achieve immortality so he may continue the work of the Emperor. Sedayne threatened Friedisch's life to try and merge his soul with Cawl's body and achieve eternal life. However unexpectedly, Sedayne's personality was overpowered by Cawl and he emerged as the dominant personality. Upon awakening Cawl relived a memory of Sedayne meeting the Emperor during the Unification Wars. In the memory the Master of Mankind was speaking directly to Cawl in the future as he had foreseen Sedayne's ultimate fate. He stated that Cawl must continue His work, even when the day came when Cawl thinks he has betrayed Him. Cawl was horrified by the idea of ever betraying the Emperor.
特里索兰之后，考尔和弗里迪希去了泰拉，在那里他受到了以西结·赛丹的监护。事实上，塞丹只是想要考尔的知识达到永生，这样他就可以继续帝皇的工作。赛丹威胁弗里迪希的生命，试图将他的灵魂与考尔的身体融合，实现永生。然而，出乎意料的是，塞丹的意识被考尔压倒了，考尔成为了主导意识。醒来后，考尔回忆起塞丹在统一战争期间会见帝皇的情景。在记忆中，人类之主在未来直接与考尔交谈，因为他预见到了塞丹的最终命运。他说考尔必须继续他的工作，即使有一天考尔认为他背叛了帝皇。考尔对背叛帝皇的想法感到震惊。
After the Heresy Cawl was charged by Roboute Guilliman to oversee two great tasks should the Primarch fall. They were to be the resurrection of Guilliman and the creation of the Primaris Space Marines with the Sangprimus Portum, two things he worked on for the next 10 millennia. During his ten thousand years of work, Cawl changed dramatically. He began to combine more entities within his own intelligence core, becoming in essence a legion of separate beings described as a mesh of souls rather than a combination of minds. These include Ezekiel Sedayne as well as Hester Aspertia Sigma-Sigma. Over time, Cawl began to lose much of his memory as he was forced to dump data around every 500 years.
在叛乱之后，考尔被罗伯特·基里曼委托监督两项重大任务，如果原体倒下。它们是基里曼的复活以及用原血之栈创建原铸星际战士，这是他在接下来的1万年里所做的两件事。在他一万年的工作中，考尔发生了巨大的变化。他开始在自己的智能核心中组合更多的实体，本质上成为一个由不同生命组成的军团，被描述为灵魂的网状结构，而不是思想的结合。其中包括以西结·赛丹和海丝特·阿斯佩蒂亚·西格玛-西格玛。随着时间的推移，考尔开始失去大部分记忆，因为他被迫每500年转储一次数据。
Post-Heresy 叛乱后
At the time of the 13th Black Crusade, Cawl was guided by a Harlequin Shadowseer to a planet which was long-abandoned during the 4th Black Crusade. After battling Orks on the world he recovered an artifact and learned of the Pylons holding back the Immaterium. He was then instructed by this mysterious Shadowseer to go to Cadia, where he aided in the defenses of the world against the forces of Chaos. He was eventually joined into a reluctant alliance with the Necron Lord Trazyn the Infinite and the duo joined together to activate Cadia's Pylon array. While initially successful in activating the Pylons, Cadia was shattered by Abaddon's redirection of the remains of a Blackstone Fortress into the planet. Cawl fled the Cadian system with his artifact and several allies including Saint Celestine, Inquisitor Greyfax, and Marshal Marius Amalrich. Hounded by the Black Legion who sought his artifact of still unknown significance, Cawl and his allies were eventually guided into the Webway on Kalisus by his saviors: Eldar under Eldrad Ulthran.
在第13次黑色远征时，考尔被一位丑角暗影先知引导到一个在第4次黑色远征被长期遗弃的星球。在与世界上的欧克蛮人作战后，他找到了一件神器，并了解到黑石方尖碑正在阻挡亚空间。随后，这位神秘的暗影先知指示他前往卡迪亚，在那里他协助世界防御混沌势力。最终加入了与太空死灵霸主无尽者塔拉辛的不情愿的联盟，两人联手激活了卡迪亚的黑石方尖碑阵列。虽然最初成功地激活了方尖碑，但阿巴顿将黑石堡垒的残余重新定向到星球上，使卡迪亚四分五裂。考尔带着他的神器和几个盟友逃离了卡迪安星系，其中包括圣塞勒斯汀、审判官格雷法克斯和元帅马里乌斯·阿莫里奇。在黑色军团的追捕下，考尔和他的盟友最终被他的拯救者：艾德拉德·乌索然手下的艾达灵族的带领下进入了卡利苏斯的网道。
The Eldar guided the expedition to Macragge where Cawl revealed that his precocious artifacts were the Emperor's Sword and a suit of Power Armour that could heal the comatose Primarch Guilliman. During the Ultramar Campaign Cawl was able to successfully work with the Eldar in resurrecting Guilliman, who drove the Chaos invaders from Ultramar. Cawl accompanied Guilliman in the subsequent Terran Crusade and was one of the few to reach Terra. Once on Terra Cawl talked with Guilliman of a secret pact with Mars and of his work nearing completion. He then made his way to the Red Planet to oversee its success.
灵族带领探险队前往马库拉格，考尔透露，他的早期制品是皇帝之剑和一套可以治愈昏迷的原体基里曼的动力盔甲。在奥特拉马之战期间，考尔成功地与灵族合作，复活了将混沌入侵者赶出奥特拉马的基里曼。考尔在随后的泰拉远征中陪伴基里曼，是少数到达泰拉的人之一。有一次在泰拉上，考尔与基里曼谈到了与火星的秘密协议，以及他的工作即将完成。然后，他前往红色星球监督它的成功。
This secret project was Cawl was revealed to be the creation of Primaris Space Marines, the next generation of the Angels of Death. In truth, Cawl had been working on the project for 10,000 years. Despite his seeming loyalty and effectiveness, Guilliman still harbors a great amount of distrust for Cawl. He believes Cawl to border the heretekal, particularly with regard to his creation of an artificial intelligence known as the Cawl Inferior. Due to this, Guilliman has repeatedly refused Cawl's requests to become Fabricator-General. Cawl's actions have also made him enemies with many across the greater Mechanicum, particularly the more religious and conservative Tech-Priests.
这个秘密项目被考尔透露为是下一代死亡天使原铸星际战士的创作。事实上，考尔已经为这个项目工作了1万年。尽管考尔表面上忠诚而高效，但基里曼仍然对考尔怀有极大的不信任。他认为考尔接近异端，特别是在他创造了一种名为次级考尔的人工智能后。因此，基里曼一再拒绝考尔成为铸造将军的请求。考尔的行为也使他与机械教的许多人成为敌人，尤其是那些更虔诚和保守的技术神甫。
During the Age of the Dark Imperium, Cawl traveled with the rebuilt Scythes of the Emperor to Sotha to study the reactivated Pharos and use it to learn of Blackstone deposits across the Galaxy. During the experiments the C'tan held within the device, Zarhulash, agreed to work with Cawl to remove the heart of the Pharos in exchange for being set free. Cawl agreed, but tricked the C'tan by destroying the Pharos and teleporting Zarhulash to the far side of the galaxy.
在黑暗帝国时期，考尔带着重建的帝皇之镰战团前往索萨，研究重新激活的灯塔，并用它来了解整个银河系的黑石矿床。在实验过程中，星神扎胡拉什被放在装置内，并同意与考尔合作解除灯塔之心，以换取自由。考尔同意了，但通过摧毁灯塔并将扎胡拉什传送到银河系的远端欺骗了星神。
Most recently, Cawl has led Battle Group Hephaestus of Indomitus Crusade Fleet Primus into the Nephilim Sector in order to battle the Necrons. His main goal is to secure the area before the arrival of Guilliman himself.
最近，考尔带领不屈远征舰队的赫菲斯托斯战斗群进入涅菲里姆星区，与太空死灵作战。他的主要目标是在基里曼本人抵达之前确保该地区的安全。

Belisarius Cawl 贝利撒留·考尔
Cawl's humanity has long since been stripped away. He maintains different "files" of personalities, which he accesses depending on the situation. By the end of the Indomitus Crusade, Cawl had artificially replicated his own sentience to the point where he could no longer said to be a single individual. Cawl kept each "Sub-Cawl" limited to prevent the core intelligence from being threatened. Aboard his Ark Mechanicus Zar-Quaesitor dozens of sub-cawls swarm about, each undertaking a different task.
考尔的人性早已被剥夺。他保存着不同的个性“档案”，并根据具体情况访问这些档案。到不屈远征结束时，考尔已经人为地复制了自己的感知能力，以至于他再也不能说自己是一个人了。考尔限制了每个“分考尔”，以防止核心情报受到威胁。在他的机械方舟探索者之王号上，有着数十个分考尔，每个都承担着不同的任务。
Cawl has a number of other creations used to aid him, such as Alpha Primus and Qvo.
考尔还有许多其他的作品可以帮助他，比如原铸之首和Qvo。
The Cawl Inferior 次级考尔
Cawl developed the Cawl Inferior, a device to emulate himself, housed deep within the Macragge’s Honour. The Cawl Inferior was made to communicate with the Primarch Roboute Guilliman in the Archmagos's stead, as well as to serve as a backup in case Cawl himself were to die. To facilitate this, the Cawl Inferior contains the sum total of its creator's knowledge. While stated to only communicate using pre-programmed responses, the Primarch suspects that the Cawl Inferior is actually a fully sentient Abominable Intelligence.
考尔开发了次级考尔，这是一种模仿自己的装置，位于马库拉格之耀深处。次级考尔是为了代替大贤者与原体罗伯特·基里曼沟通，并在考尔本人死亡的情况下作为替补。为了促进这一点，次级考尔包含了其创造者的知识总和。虽然据说只能使用预先编程的反应进行交流，但原体怀疑次级考尔实际上完全是一种有感知力的憎恶智能。
