Zahariel, born Zahariel El'Zurias was a Dark Angels Space Marine during the Great Crusade.

扎哈瑞尔，原名扎哈瑞尔 艾尔 祖瑞亚斯，是大远征时期的一名黑暗天使星际战士。

History历史

A native of Caliban in the period preceding the arrival of the Emperor, Zahariel left his home at the age of seven to attempt to join The Order, one of the bands of knights that acted to protect the population from the predations of the great Beasts indigenous to the world. The Order was a particularly prestigious knightly organisation, being led by two warriors often claimed to be the greatest of the age; Luther and Lion El'Jonson. Accompanied by his cousin, Nemiel, Zahariel succeeded in becoming a supplicant to the Order, and began an intensive training programme that would occupy almost every moment of his waking life for the next two years. After being judged suitable by his Master, Remiel and by an initiation panel consisting of Lion El'Jonson, Luther and the Lord Cypher, Zahariel became a full member of the Order.

在帝皇驾临之前，作为一名卡利班土著，扎哈瑞尔在七岁时离开家试图加入秩序骑士团——保护卡利班人民免受当地巨大野兽捕食的骑士团体之一，秩序骑士团是一个特别有声望的骑士组织，由两位通常被认为是当时最伟大的战士：卢瑟和莱昂 艾尔 庄森进行领导。在表亲奈米尔的陪伴下，扎哈瑞尔成功成为秩序骑士团候补，并且开始了一项强化训练项目，在之后的两年中，这些强化训练几乎占据了他清醒着的每个时刻。在被他的导师雷米尔以及莱昂，卢瑟和塞弗领主三人组成的入团评议会判定为合格之后（机仆：卡利班秩序骑士学院研究生入学面试…），扎哈瑞尔成为了骑士团正式成员。

Only a year later, Zahariel took on a Beast Quest, the successful completion of which would guarantee him promotion of a full ranking Knight of the Order. This quest was one of vengeance, for Zahariel's mentor in the Order, Brother Amadis, had been slain by a Great Beast referred to as 'the Beast of Endriago'. Zahariel set out with this Beast as his target. During the Quest, he encountered apparent humanoid entities in the wilds, who warned him of pursuing his goal, but he pressed on and found the Beast, a great Calibanite Lion. While fighting for his life against the Lion, Zaharial's latent psychic powers manifested, altering his time perception to the point he could see through the animal's defenses and find an opening, finally killing it using a secondary ability which allowed him to 'phase' his arm and pistol inside its chest. The Order recognized his amazing feat and promoted him to the status of knighthood. An additional result was that Zahariel gained a measure of respect and even friendship from Lion El'Jonson. The leader of the Order had a special sword crafted for Zahariel, made from a razor-sharp fang culled from the Beast. This 'lion-sword' would prove to be more potent in battle than most other blades.

仅仅一年之后，扎哈瑞尔就参加了一场巨兽寻猎，寻猎的成功完成为扎哈瑞尔成为首席骑士提供了保证。这是一次复仇之旅，原因是扎哈瑞尔在骑士团中的导师阿玛迪斯兄弟惨遭被称为“恩德里亚戈野兽”的巨兽杀害，扎哈瑞尔将这只野兽定为自己的目标。在搜寻过程中，他在野外遇到了明显的人形实体，他们警告扎哈瑞尔：沿着他的目标前进极其危险，但扎哈瑞尔依旧前进并且找到了巨兽——某只巨大的卡利班狮。当与巨狮以命相搏时，扎哈瑞尔潜在的灵能力量显示了出来，这改变他对时间的感知，他能看穿野兽的防御并找到了一个突破口，最终倚靠某种辅助能力——允许他把自己的胳膊和手枪“相位同步”到野兽的胸膛中——杀死了野兽。骑士团承认了他的惊人壮举并提升了他的骑士身份。额外的成果则是扎哈瑞尔得到了广泛的尊敬，甚至还有莱昂 艾尔 庄森的友谊。这位骑士团领袖为扎哈瑞尔打造了一把特殊长剑，这把剑是用从野兽身上挖出的锋利的牙齿制作的。这把“雄狮剑”将在战斗中证明自己比多数其他武器都要更强大。

Soon after his ascension to knighthood, the order declared war on the Knights of Lupus, a separate knightly order that had protested against Lion El'Jonson's genocidal campaign against the Beasts of Caliban. Zahariel fought in the short war as a member of a swordline, and came out of the campaign both blooded as a warrior and recognised as a rising star in the Order.

在他的骑士身份得到提升之后不久，秩序骑士团与天狼星骑士团宣战了，后者是另一个独立骑士团，他们反对莱恩针对卡利班巨兽的种族灭绝战争。作为骑士团剑士的一员，扎哈瑞尔参与了这场短暂的战争，他在战斗中脱颖而出，即是作为浴血奋战的战士，也是作为骑士团后起之秀。

The Descent of Angels天使降临

When the Adeptus Astartes First Legion arrived on Caliban, Zahariel's destiny changed. Six months after his ascension to Knight of the Order, Zahariel once again faced the challenge of becoming something greater and achieving a more heroic purpose. Recognised now as the Primarch of the newly christened 'Dark Angels' Space Marines, Lion El'Jonson ordered that all members of the Order undergo selection tests to decide which of them could become Astartes. Zahariel and Nemiel both partook in these trials, and it was during one of the endurance tests that Zahariel's psychic powers again manifested, granting him a third power, that of renewed energy and stamina. This brought him to the attention of Brother-Librarian Israfael, who, after interrogating Zahariel, deduced that the young knight possessed a rare psychic ability known as Terrorsight. This ability gave Zahariel several powers: his perception of time could slow, allowing him to move faster than others could detect. He could 'phase' his body through the warp itself, becoming intangible. He possessed an 'x-ray' vision ability that could be used when otherwise completely blinded. Lastly, he could boost his own reserves of stamina and energy. (As far as is presently known, Zahariel has received no explicit training in the use of these powers, and their potentially extreme benefits have not been unlocked. All known uses of them have been instinctual and unfocused.)

当阿斯塔特第一军团降临卡利班时，扎哈瑞尔的命运改变了。在被提拔为秩序骑士六个月之后，扎哈瑞尔再次面对成为某种更为强大的战士和实现更为英勇的目标的挑战。现在，莱昂被确认为刚刚接受过施洗礼的“黑暗天使”星际战士们的原体，他命令骑士团所有成员接受选拔测试来决定哪些人可以成为阿斯塔特。扎哈瑞尔和奈米尔都参与了这些测试，正是在一项忍耐力测试中，扎哈瑞尔的灵能力量再次显示出来，给予了他第三种力量，那就是恢复精力和耐力。这让他被带到了兄弟智库伊斯拉菲尔面前，后者在询问过扎哈瑞尔之后，推论出这位年轻的骑士拥有被称为恐惧视野的罕见灵能力量，这项能力给了扎哈瑞尔多种灵能力量：他对时间的感知会变慢，这允许他的移动得比别人察觉得更快。他可以把身体“相位平移”进入亚空间，化为无形。最后，他可以增强自己的耐力和精力储备。（就目前所知，扎哈瑞尔并未接受过使用这些力量的明确训练，他们潜在的极端力量并没有被释放。它们所有几次已知的使用都是本能的和精神不集中的。）

Zahariel next came to the attention of a figure even greater than that of a powerful Space Marine Librarian when he was able to disrupt an assassination attempt upon the Emperor intended to be carried out by rogue knights of the Inner Circle. In the aftermath of these events, Zahariel was personally examined by the Emperor himself, but had his memory of their meeting, and the treason within the Order, suppressed. He was ultimately successful in becoming a Dark Angel, and again with Nemiel beside him, took his place in their ranks early on in the Great Crusade.

当扎哈瑞尔阻止了内环浪人骑士们针对帝皇的暗杀尝试时，他引起了比一位强大的星际战士智库更为重要的人物的注意。这之后，帝皇亲自测验了扎哈瑞尔，不过帝皇压制了扎哈瑞尔对于这次会面的记忆，也打压了骑士团中的违抗帝国的行为。扎哈瑞尔最终成功地成为了一名黑暗天使星际战士，而且奈米尔再次陪伴着他(成为了星际战士)。在大远征早期他就在部队中获得了自己的地位。

Crusade大远征

Assigned to the 22nd Chapter of the Dark Angels, Zahariel proved instrumental in the defeat of a warp-entity on the world of Sarosh. The entity, threatening to overwhelm the Dark Angel force (including Lion El'Jonson) was defeated by psychic assault, a group of the Legion's psykers led by Israfael winning the day. Zahariel actually played a role in saving the Lion's life, preventing a Saroshi attempt to detonate a powerful bomb on board the Dark Angel flagship. With the aid of Luther, Zahariel was able to eject the bomb from the ship before it exploded. During this incident, it became clear to Zahariel that Luther was an individual under significant psychological pressure. Despite his notable roles in the victory, immediately after the campaign was over Zahariel (along with Luther, Israfel and many others, but not Nemiel) was reassigned to training and garrison duties back on Caliban.

扎哈瑞尔被分配到了黑暗天使第22战团，他在Sarosh世界对抗亚空间实体的战斗中证明了自己的促进作用。这个威胁要征服整个黑暗天使军团（包括莱昂）的亚空间实体被灵能攻击打败了，由伊斯拉菲尔领导的军团灵能者们战胜了他。扎哈瑞尔事实上也参与了对于莱昂性命的拯救，阻止了Sarosh人在黑暗天使的旗舰上引爆强力炸弹的尝试（机仆：没记错的话应该是扎哈瑞尔预知到了有人要搞事）。在卢瑟的帮助下，扎哈瑞尔在爆炸前将炸弹丢出了飞船。在这次事件中，扎哈瑞尔清楚地意识到卢瑟承受着巨大的心理压力。莱昂无视了扎哈瑞尔在这次胜利中的显著角色，在这次战役结束之后不久，扎哈瑞尔（以及卢瑟，伊斯拉菲尔，还有其他很多人，但不包含奈米尔）被重新分配回到卡利班执行训练和守备任务。

Fall堕天使

Now garrisoned on Caliban under Luther, Zahariel began to feel a tint of betrayal at the hands of his Primarch. 50 years went by, and at the onset of the Horus Heresy rebellion broke out across Caliban against the authority of Terra, spurred on by Terran-born bureaucrats who were in fact Chaos Cultists. Luther became convinced that Caliban would face destruction due to its Warp taint, and declared the planet independent from the Imperium. Zahariel vehemently disagreed with this course of action initially, but the more he learned of Caliban's dark past and its connection to the Warp, the more he agreed with Luther. Finally after defeating the cabal of Chaos Sorcerers and their walking dead with his own psychic abilities, Zahariel knew there would be no turning back for Caliban due to the Edict of Nikea and decided to join Luther in secession. Zahariel went on to become one of the first Fallen Angels.

回到卡利班之后，扎哈瑞尔在卢瑟手下负责驻防任务，他有种遭到原体背叛的感觉。50年过去之后，当大叛乱开始之后，卡利班上也爆发了对抗泰拉政权的暴乱，而鼓动暴乱的泰拉裔官僚们实际上是混沌信徒。卢瑟确信卡利班将会因为混沌污染而面临毁灭，它宣布卡利班从帝国独立。扎哈瑞尔起初强烈反对这种做法，但他越是了解了卡利班都黑暗过往以及于亚空间的联系之后，便越是赞同卢瑟。最终，在用灵能技艺战胜了混沌巫师秘会的阴谋和他们的活死人之后，扎哈瑞尔明白由于尼凯亚禁令，卡利班已经没有了回头路，他决定加入卢瑟的脱离帝国行动。扎哈瑞尔开始成为最早的堕天使之一。

Later on Caliban, Zahariel was running through a collapsing tunnel before becoming buried beneath stones, left for dead by the Lord Cypher during an expedition. His mind drifted to the past about an old cave with a wizard before awakening again. Moving through an opening, he came upon the undead who he dispatched with his psychic powers, causing them to withdraw. He quickly looked for the worms that they battled when they fought the Ouroboros and found a psychic void that was growing that he determined was from the Ouroboros itself. With sudden realization that he was inside of the worm and cut off from his psychic power, he blacked out. Later when he finally returned from beneath Caliban, he was a changed man and insisted that the Ouroboros was Caliban itself and not an enemy. This brought him into conflict with the Lord Cypher who wished to maintain his influence over Luther. Later when he learned of the death of Nemiel at the hands of the Lion, Zahariel became embittered and this contributed to him leading a purge against a group of recently arrived loyalists on Caliban led by Belath. Afterwards through the power of the Ouroboros, he saw Cypher as a green man, a tree made man and embued with the essence of the forest. The two sides disputed the nature of the planet and the prison, and Zahariel accused the Watchers of bringing the Ouroboros there before forcing the away or he would unleash the Ouroboros. He then confronted Cypher, surprised at who it was before killing him. Zahariel was elevated by Luther as the new Lord Cypher.

后来在卡利班上，扎哈瑞尔在被埋在石头下面之前穿过坍塌的隧道，在那次探险中，赛弗领主把他丢下等死。在苏醒过来之前，他的思绪回到了过去，进入了一个有巫师的古老洞穴。穿过一个出口之后，他遇到了自己用灵能派遣出去的亡灵，这导致他们退出（了这个场景）（机仆：fallen angel这本小说我没看过，不过结合上下文，这部分应该是扎哈瑞尔濒死状态下看到的亚空间幻象）。当他们与Ouroboros（机仆：da的神奇亚空间小宝贝三件套之一，应该是操纵死尸说话的那个）搏斗，并且发现一个灵能虚空正在形成——他断定这是来自Ouroboros（机仆：这玩意儿翻译过了就是著名的“衔尾蛇”，含义有够混沌的…）时，他快速寻找着他们与之交战的蠕虫（机仆：在这里我从头说一下，扎哈瑞尔回老家后遇到了一个案件：卡利班北部荒野的一座内政部建筑群失联了，去调查的帝国军也没有音信，于是卢瑟让扎哈瑞尔带了一小队da去调查，然后就发现建筑的地下部分是一堆巨型蠕虫，最后还钻出来一只超大都巨虫，其实就是Ouroboros开始发功腐化了当地的人和生物，扎哈用灵能干掉了虫子。后来这种问题越来越严重，某次扎哈和当时的赛弗领主去清洗被腐化的巢都时，赛弗因为恐惧丢下他跑路了，之后扎哈被Ouroboros降伏了，决心效忠于它。所以说lex是不怎么靠谱的…）。他突然意识到自己就在蠕虫内部，并且切断了自己的灵能力量，之后他晕了过去。后来，当他终于从卡利班的地下返回之后，他已经被转变了， 坚信Ouroboros就是卡利班的本体，而非敌人。这就让他和赛弗产生了矛盾，后者想要保持自己对于卢瑟的影响力。后来当他听说奈米尔死于莱昂之手后，他对原体心怀怨恨，这促使他领导了对于一群由贝拉斯带领的最近回到卡利班的忠诚派暗黑天使的清洗。之后通过Ouroboros的力量，他把赛弗看做了绿色的人——由树木构成的人而且沉浸在森林的精华中。双方质疑着卡利班的自然本质和监狱（机仆：意思应该是赛弗和扎哈都在怀疑卡利班本质上是囚禁混沌力量的牢笼，其实想想也不稀奇，毕竟在卡利班就在恐惧之眼边上，而卡利班节区部分地方基本就在恐惧之眼里面）。在强行击退暗黑守望者之前（机仆:此时赛弗在和扎哈辩论，发现苗头不对之后赛弗把袍子小弟给召唤来镇场子，结果扎哈借助Ouroboros力量把袍子小人赶走了，这也从侧面说明Ouroboros灵能力量强于诡变幼主）扎哈瑞尔指责暗黑守望者们把Ouroboros带到了那里，否则他就能释放Ouroboros。之后他面对了赛弗领主，在杀掉赛弗之前，扎哈瑞尔被赛弗的真实身份所震惊（机仆：所以赛弗你到底是谁…）。之后，扎哈瑞尔被卢瑟推选成为新任赛弗领主。
