锻炉之父，Forgefather

The Forgefather is a veteran Salamander who travels the universe seeking out the lost Artefacts of Vulkan and information on the fate of the Primarch of the Salamanders.Upon becoming Forgefather the Salamander also takes on the name of Vulkan. While this post takes him away from the Chapter, he is nevertheless held as one of the lords of the Chapter and granted a seat on the Pantheon Council.

锻炉之父是一名游历在宇宙中寻找失落的伏尔甘神器以及关于火蜥蜴原体下落信息的火蜥蜴战团老兵。在成为锻炉之父后，这名火蜥蜴也能获得“伏尔甘”的名字。虽然成为锻炉之父会令其远离战团，但他仍然是战团领主之一，并在万神殿议会中有着自己的位置。

历史

The first Forgefather, T'kell, never used Vulkan's name and was originally charged with destroying a great many artefacts forged by the primarch.At T'kell's plea, Vulkan agreed to let him choose seven artefacts to survive, which he was to lock away in the Wrought if Vulkan fell at Isstvan V.

第一名锻炉之父特凯尔从未使用过伏尔甘的名字，他最初的任务是销毁那些由伏尔甘亲手锻造的大量神器。在特凯尔的请求下，伏尔甘同意让他选择7件神器保存起来，如果伏尔甘在伊斯塔万五号战败，特凯尔就会把这些神器封存在锻造藏库中。

At some point the role of Forgefather became traditional rather than unique, taking up the role of searching for the lost artefacts and the name of the primarch.The first of the artefacts were not recovered until M41.The Necron Overlord Trazyn has shown great interest in the artefacts, and is believed to have been behind the demise of several past Forgefathers.

在某种程度上，锻炉之父的这个角色变得传统而非独特，承担了寻找失落神器与原体下落的角色。第一件神器直到M41才被发现。太空死灵领主塔拉辛对这些神器表现出极大的兴趣，并且被认为是导致过去几任锻炉之父死亡的幕后黑手。
