Balthasar was the Company Master of the Dark Angels Fifth Company.

貝爾塔薩曾是黑暗天使第五連隊的連隊導(dǎo)師。

Balthasar was promoted from his post as a Deathwing Sergeant to succeed Company Master Zadakiel, who died at the hands of the Crimson Slaughter Warband. His lifetime of servitude to the Deathwing honed Balthasar into a crafty and cunning tactician. He held a great personal anger against the Crimson Slaughter for murdering his mentor.

在被提拔為第五連隊的導(dǎo)師，在接替死于猩紅屠殺者戰(zhàn)幫之手的扎達奇爾導(dǎo)師之前，貝爾塔薩是一名死翼軍士。在死翼的服役經(jīng)歷將貝爾塔薩磨練成了狡猾的戰(zhàn)術(shù)家。由于猩紅屠殺者殺害了他的導(dǎo)師，他對猩紅屠殺者們懷有強烈的私怨。

Balthasar was known amongst the Inner Circle of the Chapter for his low tolerance of psykers, although his negative opinions of the Dark Angels' own Librarians were more due to his conviction that their psychic powers were the reason why they were chosen to become Space Marines, rather than skill in battle.

貝爾塔薩因為對于靈能者的低容忍度而在戰(zhàn)團內(nèi)環(huán)著稱，但他之所以對黑暗天使本團的智庫們有消極的看法，更多的是因為他確信黑暗天使的智庫是因為靈能力量而非戰(zhàn)斗技巧才被選中成為星際戰(zhàn)士（機仆：說白了就類似軍校生鄙視國防生，前者認(rèn)為后者屬于走特招的，進部隊靠的是關(guān)系或特殊政策優(yōu)待，而非個人實力）

History歷史

Balthasar grew up on one of the thousands of worlds that the Dark Angels swore an oath to protect and, in turn, draw aspirants from. That world had labored under the oppression?of a psychic cult until it was brought down by a resistance movement, of which Balthasar was a member. This is what led to Balthasar's distrust towards psykers。

貝爾塔薩長大的世界是黑暗天使發(fā)誓保護的數(shù)千個世界之一，而作為回報，黑暗天使們也可以在這數(shù)千個世界征兵（機仆：納尼？！da這么多潛在征兵世界？?。?。貝爾塔薩的故鄉(xiāng)（人民們）在靈能邪教的壓迫下辛苦勞作，直到一場抵抗運動打倒了靈能邪教徒們的統(tǒng)治，而巴爾塔薩就是抵抗軍的成員。這也是為何貝爾塔薩不信任靈能者。

When Balthasar was a Sergeant of the Fifth Company, he took part in the Battle for Honoria.During the mission, Ezekiel was tasked by Grand Master Danatheum to assess whether Balthasar should ascend to the Deathwing (a replacement was needed following the death of Joadar).?During the defence of Honoria's capital city, Aurelianum, Company Master Zadakiel was wounded by the Ork Warboss Groblonik. Although he survived, he had to enter a sus-anic healing coma; Balthasar assumed acting control of the Fifth Company for the remainder of the Dark Angels' time on Honoria.?Although Ezekiel decided that Balthasar was worthy of a position in the Deathwing, impressed by his actions on Honoria, the Librarian thought Balthasar was not yet ready for the position.Eventually, however, Balthasar did earn a place in the Deathwing.

當(dāng)貝爾塔薩在第五連隊擔(dān)任軍士時，他參加了Honoria戰(zhàn)役。在任務(wù)中，至高大導(dǎo)師丹納瑟穆交給阿澤齊爾一項任務(wù)：評估貝爾塔薩能否被提拔進入死翼（喬達爾修士犧牲后，死翼需要一名繼任者）。在Honoria的首都Aurelianum的防御戰(zhàn)中，連隊導(dǎo)師扎達齊爾在與獸人軍閥格羅布隆尼克的戰(zhàn)斗中受傷。雖然他幸存了下來，但他不得不進入薩蘇安腦膜啟動的治療昏迷狀態(tài)。在Honoria戰(zhàn)役的剩余期間，貝爾塔薩承擔(dān)了第五連隊的指揮責(zé)任。雖然阿澤齊爾對于貝爾塔薩在Honoria的表現(xiàn)印象深刻，認(rèn)為他值得加入死翼，不過智庫領(lǐng)袖認(rèn)為貝爾塔薩后嗎做好這個準(zhǔn)備。但是最終，貝爾塔薩在死翼中贏得了自己的一席之地。

While a member of the Deathwing, Balthasar was seconded to the Deathwatch for a period of 12 years.?He was part of a Kill-Team sent by an Inquisitor to investigate the remains of the destroyed Eldar Craftworld known as Kher-Ys. Within the Craftworld's Infinity Circuit, they found the Ruin of Kher-Ys - the Spirit Stone of the Eldar whose actions allowed the Daemon Heartslayer to manifest on the Craftworld.Balthasar and his Watch Captain were the only two members of the Kill-Team alive by this point, the Watch Captain intending to turn the spirit stone over to the Ordo Xenos. However, Balthasar and the Inquisitor killed the Captain, revealing that the mission was to secure the stone for the Dark Angels. The Inquisitor died shortly afterwards, succumbing to the wounds she sustained when she was stabbed by a Keeper of Secrets. With her last words, she asked Balthasar to tell Azrael that her debt to them was paid.Upon returning to The Rock, Balthasar was questioned about the mission by Interrogator-Chaplain Asmodai. His superiors were satisfied by his work in the Deathwatch and Balthasar returned to the ranks of the Deathwing with none of his battle-brothers learning of his mission.

在作為一名死翼成員的同時，貝爾塔薩還在死亡守望服役了十二年。他所在的殺戮小隊被一名審判官派去調(diào)查早已被毀滅的方舟世界Kher-Ys的殘骸。在方舟世界的無盡回路中，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了Kher-Ys的毀滅——某塊魂石，它的主人的行為讓惡魔屠心者得以出現(xiàn)在方舟世界。貝爾塔薩和他的守望連長是此時僅存的兩名活著的死亡守望成員，守望連長打算將魂石上交攘外修會。但是貝爾塔薩和審判官殺死了守望連長，揭示出他們是在為黑暗天使尋找這塊魂石。不久之后審判官在戰(zhàn)斗中被色孽大魔守密者刺中，留下了一道無法愈合都持續(xù)性傷口，最終戰(zhàn)死。在彌留之際，審判官告訴貝爾塔薩：回去后告訴阿茲瑞爾，她欠黑暗天使的債已經(jīng)還清了。返回巨石后，審訊牧師阿斯莫代向貝爾塔薩詢問了這次任務(wù)。貝爾塔薩的上級對于他在死亡守望的服役很滿意，貝爾塔薩回到了死翼當(dāng)中，但沒有任何戰(zhàn)斗兄弟了解他的任務(wù)中發(fā)生了什么。

After returning to the Chapter, Balthasar was part of a Deathwing squadron attached to the Fifth Company, at the time still under the command of Master Zadakiel, that travelled to the planet Stern's Rememberance to hunt the Fallen Angel Attias the Untamed. However, Attias was merely bait for an ambush; the Dark Angels were attacked by the Crimson Slaughter. In the ensuing conflict, Zadakiel was killed and Balthasar became Company Master of the Fifth in his place.

返回戰(zhàn)團后，貝爾塔薩所在的死翼小隊被配屬到了第五連隊，此時他們由扎達奇爾導(dǎo)師指揮，直到他們前往Stern世界追捕墮天使：未馴者艾迪阿斯。不過，艾迪阿斯僅僅是一場伏擊的誘餌：猩紅屠殺者們偷襲了黑暗天使。在之后引起的沖突中，扎達奇爾犧牲，貝爾塔薩繼任了第五連隊導(dǎo)師。

He would eventually defeat Kranon the Relentless and his Chaos Space Marine Warband in the Battle for Bane's Landing, with help from Librarian Turmiel and other forces of the Dark Angels Fifth Company. Balthasar would later be killed in the chaotic battles that followed the Great Rift's creation and was succeeded by Master Lazarus.

貝爾塔薩最終在智庫圖米爾與黑暗天使第五連隊的協(xié)助下，在Bane's Landing世界戰(zhàn)役中戰(zhàn)勝無情者克拉能與猩紅屠殺者戰(zhàn)幫。但在大裂隙形成之后一場對抗混沌的戰(zhàn)斗中，貝爾塔薩犧牲，拉撒路接任了第五連隊導(dǎo)師的職務(wù)。
