八版圣典节译：加百列 赛斯
GABRIEL SETH
Gabriel Seth became Master of the Flesh Tearers as his Chapter stood upon the brink of annihilation. Millennia of unrelenting savagery had left the Chapter shunned and distrusted by many of the Imperium's fighting forces. Other Space Marine Chapters viewed the Flesh Tearers as being but a single step from turning renegade, and the Inquisition sought to have the Chapter investigated. Worse, mutation in the Flesh Tearers gene-seed had exacerbated Sanguinius curse, increasing the incidence of the Black Rage. Even those Flesh Tearers fortunate enough to escape the Black Rage were gripped by a bloodthirsty recklessness that inevitably cost many lives whenever the Chapter went to war.
加百列 赛斯是在战团处于灭绝的边缘时成为了血肉撕裂者的战团长。战团在千年时间中的无情暴行让帝国中的许多作战部队不信任和回避他们，其他星际战士战团认为血肉撕裂者离变节只有一步之遥，审判庭也试图调查他们。更糟糕的是，基因种子的变异导致圣吉列斯诅咒的加剧，提高了黑怒的发病率。哪怕是那些足够幸运到能逃过黑怒的血肉撕裂者们也会被血渴无情攫住，（所以）战团无论在何时奔赴战争，都会伤亡惨重。
On the day of his ascension, Seth listened grim-faced as the Chapter's Sanguinary Priests presented the evidence of the terrible truth - the rate at which their battle-brothers succumbed to madness or death now far exceeded the Flesh Tearers capacity to replace their losses. Within two centuries, the Flesh Tearers would be no more, abandoned by their allies and betrayed by their own flesh. Seth swore that if the Flesh Tearers' fate was to be extinction, then they would pass into history in proud remembrance, not through whispered rumours of brutality and madness.
在他晋升就职的那一天，赛斯便学会了冷面应对危局：战团中的圣血牧师向他展示了某个残酷事实的证据——战斗兄弟们屈服于疯狂或死亡的比例现在远远超过了战团替换损失的能力。在两个世纪内，血肉撕裂者就会不复存在，盟友们会抛弃他们，就连他们自己的血肉也会背叛他们。赛斯发誓：倘若灭团就是血肉撕裂者们的宿命，那他们将会自豪地名垂青史，而非沦为人们私下流传的某些关于暴行和疯狂的谣言。
Under Seth's leadership, the Flesh Tearers Chapter Planet of Cretacia has become little more than an automated armoury and recruitment centre. At any given time, the bulk of the Flesh Tearers are off-planet, performing great patrol-arcs through the Segmentums Ultima and Tempestus, the Chapter's Librarians sifting the aether in search of astropathic calls for assistance. So it is that the Flesh Tearers will often be amongst the first wave of reinforcements to an embattled world, Seth himself leading boarding actions against enemy blockade vessels or counter-assaults on the invaders drop zones before the foe have claimed so much as a foothold.
在赛斯的领导下，血肉撕裂者的战团母星Cretacia几乎变成了自动化的武装和征兵中心。在任何给定的时候，大部分血肉撕裂者都会离开母星，在极限星域和暴风星域中进行大规模巡逻，战团智库们筛选亚空间中的信息来搜索求援的星语呼叫。所以血肉撕裂者经常会处于第一批前去增援某个四面楚歌的世界的部队当中，赛斯会亲自率领对于封锁舰船的跳帮行动，或者在敌人站稳脚跟之前对入侵者的空降区发动反击。
Seth knows that he cannot realistically curtail his battle-brothers' bloodlust -indeed he himself is as prone to rage-soaked savagery as any of his brethren. Yet by striking first, and in isolation from other forces, the Flesh Tearers' worst excesses are concealed, as is the collateral damage amongst allies that once was the hallmark of the Chapter's assaults. Now, worlds that once reviled the Flesh Tearers praise them as saviours.
赛斯明白他实际上不能限制战斗兄弟们的嗜血冲动——事实上他自己也像任何兄弟一样容易陷入狂怒的暴行中。但通过率先攻击和远离其他部队，血肉撕裂者最过分的行径被掩盖了，而对盟军造成的附带损失曾是该战团进攻的特点。现在，那些谩骂过血肉撕裂者的人们尊称他们为拯救者。
For all his efforts to challenge the commonly held perceptions of his Chapter as berserk butchers, Gabriel Seth is every bit the bloody whirlwind when he plunges into battle. He wields an enormous two-handed chainsword named Blood Reaver, and is more than capable of hacking even the most monstrous enemies limb from limb with it. As he fights, Seth lashes out at his opponents with vicious kicks, punches and headbutts, using every part of his anatomy as a weapon. The Chapter Master prefers to plunge headlong into massed foes before unleashing his full ferocity upon the bodies pressed in around him, and it has been remarked by Commander Dante that such luckless victims would have more chance of surviving a battle cannon shell landing in their midst. Indeed, the blood-drenched results are not dissimilar...
尽管加百列 赛斯全力挑战人们对于他的战团是一群狂战士屠夫的固有印象，但在冲入战斗时，他也非常类似一阵血腥的旋风。他使用着名为“掠血者”的巨大双手链锯剑，甚至能用这把武器砍掉最为可怕敌人的所有肢体。在他战斗时，赛斯以用凶狠的踢击、拳击和头槌向对手猛烈进攻，将身体的每个部位都用作武器。这位战团长偏好莽撞地冲入敌群，然后向挤在他周围的敌人释放出自己的全部力量。但丁指挥官评论称：这些不幸受害者在赛斯的进攻下幸存的机会，比不被落在他们当中战斗炮炮弹炸死的机会还少。事实上，这两种鲜血淋漓的结果也没有什么不同...
