History歷史

Heresy-era大叛亂時期

Born on Colchis, Marduk was inducted into the Word Bearers shortly before the Horus Heresy.

馬杜克生于科爾奇斯，在大叛亂爆發(fā)前夕，他被征召進(jìn)入懷言者軍團(tuán)。

He became a member of the internal sect known as The Brotherhood and took part in the Second Purge against Terran Astartes, during which he recieved a commendation?from the Dark Apostle Jarulek.

他加入了被稱為兄弟會的懷言者內(nèi)部教派，并且參加了針對泰拉裔阿斯塔特的第二次凈化行動，在此期間他得到了黑暗使徒扎魯拉克的贊揚(yáng)。

A promising, but young psyker, Marduk had only been a Legionnaire for twenty or thirty years when he was assigned to study under Captain Bel Ashared as a postulant, and was part of his unit at the beginning of the Battle of Calth. They travelled with Sorot Tchure on the captured Ultramarine cruiser Samothrace when the Word Bearers attacked the Zetsun Verid shipyards. Marduk considered himself his master's superior in the arcane arts due to his regular communion with the daemon Drak'shal, who was teaching him much more than Bel Ashared did, and Marduk felt, could. His relationship with his Captain therefore quickly became strained. During the assault on the shipyard, Bel Ashared ordered Marduk to join a different squad. It was in this squad that Marduk first met Burias, a novitiate who would come to be the closest thing Marduk would ever come to call his friend. When his Sergeant was killed, Marduk attempted to bind Drak'shal to the corpse of the Ultramarines veteran who had killed him, but Bel Ashared came upon the scene and, shocked at what he saw, and angered at Marduk's defiance, ordered his pupil to be executed. With Drak'shal's aid, Marduk turned the Captain's body inside out.

馬杜克是一名有前途但尚且年輕的靈能者，當(dāng)他被派到連長貝爾 阿沙瑞德手下作為見習(xí)候補(bǔ)者進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)時候， 他僅僅成為一名軍團(tuán)戰(zhàn)士二三十年而已，在考斯戰(zhàn)役開始階段時，他是貝爾手下部隊(duì)的一員。當(dāng)懷言者進(jìn)攻Zetsun Verid船塢說，他們正在陪同懷言者連長索羅特 特庫雷巡視被俘的極限戰(zhàn)士巡洋艦薩莫色雷斯號。由于馬杜克定期與惡魔德拉克薩爾進(jìn)行交往，后者教授給他的內(nèi)容遠(yuǎn)多于貝爾的授課，他覺得他在奧術(shù)上已經(jīng)超越了自己的主人。因此他與貝爾連長之間的關(guān)系很快變得緊張起來。在突襲船塢的過程中，貝爾命令馬杜克加入另一支不同的小隊(duì)。正是在這只小隊(duì)中馬杜克第一次遇到了見習(xí)修士布瑞亞斯，后者將會成為與馬渡家關(guān)系最為緊密的存在，馬杜克幾乎可以稱他為朋友。當(dāng)領(lǐng)隊(duì)的軍士被殺后，馬杜克嘗試把德拉克薩爾附身在一名殺死過他（德拉克薩爾）的極限戰(zhàn)士老兵的尸體中。但當(dāng)貝爾看到這幅場景后，他驚訝于所見之物，而且馬杜克的蔑視也惹怒了他，貝爾命令下屬處決掉馬杜克，但在惡魔的幫助下，馬杜克將連長的軀體翻了個底朝天。

Marduk was imprisoned aboard Calth's orbital weapons platform for murdering a superior. Upon Kor Phaeron's arrival there, the Dark Cardinal had Marduk brought before him. Bel Ashared was a member of the Dark Heart, Kor Phaeron's personal agents. When Marduk explained his actions, Kor Phaeron saw the potential in him and allowed him to live. Marduk soon found himself fighting alongside Kor Phaeron, Sorot Tchure, and the Gal Vorbak when Roboute Guilliman teleported aboard, and witnessed Kor Phaeron's defeat before helping to bear his injured body to safety.

由于謀殺上級，馬杜克被關(guān)押在考斯的軌道武器平臺上。當(dāng)科爾法倫到達(dá)這里后，馬杜克被帶到了黑暗紅衣主教面前。貝爾是黑暗之心的一員，是科爾法倫的私人特工。當(dāng)馬杜克解釋自己的行為時，科爾法倫看出了他的潛力，允許他活了下來。很快，當(dāng)羅伯特 基里曼被傳送到此處之后，馬杜克與科爾法倫 ，索羅特 特庫雷與受祝之子們并肩作戰(zhàn)，并目睹了科爾法倫的失敗，之后，馬杜克幫忙把科爾法倫送到了安全處。

Post-Heresy大叛亂之后

Blessed with visions from the Chaos Gods, Marduk (along with his long-time rival Kol Badar) served under Jarulek as part of the 34th Host's conquering of the planet Tanakreg and the enslaving of the population into creating an immense Gehemehnet. After fending off the combined forces of both the Imperial Guard and the Adeptus Mechanicus, the unholy construct shattered the crust of the planet exposing a dormant Necron Monolith.

被混沌諸神賜福過之后，馬杜克（和長期的競爭對手科爾? 巴達(dá)爾一起 ）在扎魯拉克手下服務(wù)，他們加入第三十四戰(zhàn)斗群征服了Tanakreg世界，并奴役當(dāng)?shù)厝嗣窠ㄔ炀薮蟮幕煦绶郊獗C(jī)仆：某種將普通世界轉(zhuǎn)化為惡魔世界的設(shè)施）。在抵擋了星界軍與機(jī)械修會的聯(lián)軍之后，這座褻瀆的構(gòu)造物撕裂了行星的地殼，暴露出了一座休眠中的太空死靈懸浮塔。

He accompanied Jarulek deep into the tomb to recover the Nexus Arrangement; a powerful artifact capable of creating Warp Storms able to isolate entire systems. Once at the centre of the tomb Jarulek tried to kill his apprentice to fulfill his own prophecy, but as the two fought, he himself was slain by the re-awakening Necron Lord. Marduk made his escape with the artifact and his master’s Accursed Crozius. Now in command of the 34th Host, Marduk battled Tyranids and Dark Eldar in the search of a way to activate the deadly artifact.

馬杜克陪同扎魯拉克深入死靈墓穴尋找連接控制儀——能夠制造出隔離整個星系亞空間風(fēng)暴的強(qiáng)大武器。到達(dá)墓穴的中心和，扎魯拉克想要設(shè)法殺了他的徒弟來實(shí)現(xiàn)他自己的預(yù)言，但在兩人搏斗過程中，蘇醒的死靈領(lǐng)主殺掉了他。馬杜克帶著設(shè)備逃離并且?guī)ё吡酥魅说脑{咒權(quán)杖（機(jī)仆：混沌版本的牧師權(quán)杖），現(xiàn)在，馬杜克指揮著第三十四戰(zhàn)斗群與泰倫和黑暗靈族交戰(zhàn)，尋找激活這一致命設(shè)備的方法。

Marduk returned to Sicarus with the Nexus Arrangement in hand, gaining fame among the Dark Council and being properly anointed as a Dark Apostle. He was later assigned by Erebus to take part in Ekodas' and Ashkanez's offensive towards the Boros Gate, but engineered his overseers destruction at the hands of the Grey Knights. Marduk also uncovered a conspiracy by Kor Phaeron against Erebus, and this allowed him to finally gain the favor of the powerful Grand Apostle. With Ekodas dead, Marduk was made a member of the Dark Council.

馬杜克帶著連接控制儀回到了塞卡魯絲，他在黑暗議會中獲得了名聲，并被正式指定為黑暗使徒。后來，艾瑞巴斯派遣他去參加艾寇達(dá)斯與阿什坎茲對于波羅斯之門的進(jìn)攻，但馬杜克也設(shè)計(jì)讓他的監(jiān)視者們死于灰騎士手中。馬杜克也揭露了科爾法倫針對艾瑞巴斯的陰謀，這也讓他獲得了位高權(quán)重的首席使徒的青睞。艾寇達(dá)斯死后，馬杜克成為了黑暗議會成員。
