Even amongst the insular ranks of the Incubi, the enigmatic Drazhar remains a mystery. All that is known of his origins is that he entered the Great Shrine of the Incubi unannounced and unbidden, clad in the segmented armour of a senior member of the Incubus creed. He cut his way into the inner sanctum, leaving those who tried to stop him clutching bloody stumps as their blades clattered to the?flagstones, and saluted the shrine's enthroned Hierarch in challenge. Incensed at this upstart?newcomer's contempt for proper protocol, the Hierarch rose from his throne, entered the candlelit duelling circle and took up the battle stance. The Hierarch's self-assured superiority soon evaporated when his challenger blurred into action, moving so quickly that it was hard to follow him in the flickering tallow-light. The duel was over within minutes, and the newcomer stepped over the Hierarch's dismembered body. By rights the challenger was entitled to take the throne then and there, but Drazhar merely cleaned his blade and sketched a simple bow.?

哪怕在保守孤立的夢魘武士群體中，神秘的達扎爾也仍是一個迷。關于他的來源，我們唯一所知的便是：他未經宣告便擅自進入了夢魘武士的偉大神廟，而且身穿著夢魘教團高階成員的分段甲胄。他砍出了一條通往內堂圣所的道路，所有試圖阻擋他的人都被斬下了手臂——當他們緊握住血淋淋的殘肢時，手中的利刃全都當啷一聲落在巖石地板上。他向神廟的在位主教致意，以示挑戰(zhàn)。主教被這名狂妄自大的新手對于得體禮儀表現(xiàn)出的蔑視激怒了，他從王座上站起身，進入了燭光照耀著的決斗環(huán)場，擺出了戰(zhàn)斗姿態(tài)。但當這名挑戰(zhàn)者以快到模糊的速度展開行動時，主教也就很快失去了自信；挑戰(zhàn)者的動作過于迅捷，以至于主教在閃爍的油燈光亮下很難追上他。決斗在幾分鐘之內便結束了，那名新來者大步跨過了主教被肢解的尸骸。按理說，這名挑戰(zhàn)者在那時便有權登上王座，但達扎爾只是清理了自己的利刃，并簡單地低頭致敬。

Drazhar's mysterious appearance gave rise to many wild theories and unanswered questions. After weeks of rumour and gossip, it was confirmed that none of the Incubi shrines across Commorragh had ever heard of Drazhar, or recognised his unique and ancient battle gear. Some say he is Arhra, the fabled Dark Father of the Incubi incarnate, others that his armour is filled with nothing more than bone-dust. What was soon confirmed beyond a doubt was that no matter how skilled the challenger, Drazhar always emerged victorious from his duels. Though he has never shown any inclination to take up the position of Hierarch or Klaivex, his merciless skill in the battle arts of the Incubi is unparalleled. So it is that Drazhar occupies the post of Executioner, the champion of his order, lethality personified.?

達扎爾的神秘現(xiàn)身引發(fā)了許多瘋狂的理論和未解之謎。在傳播了數(shù)周的流言蜚語之后，人們最終確定：整個科摩羅的夢魘神廟中都沒人聽說過達扎爾，也沒人能辨認出他獨特古老的戰(zhàn)斗裝備。有人說他是阿爾哈拉——那些擬人化夢魘們的黑暗尊父，其他人則稱他的甲胄中裝滿的只有骨灰。但有一點很快便確定無疑了：無論挑戰(zhàn)者的技藝如何高超，達扎爾都總是能在決斗中取勝。不過他從未表現(xiàn)出過任何想要成為主教或克萊維克斯領袖的意愿，（盡管）他在夢魘搏斗術上的無情技藝是無與倫比的。于是達扎爾占據(jù)了“處刑者”的位置，他是自己教團的捍衛(wèi)者，以及致命性的化身。

Though Drazhar has become an integral part of the Great Shrine since his dramatic appearance, he has famously never spoken, nor removed his helmet, not even to eat or sleep. Even the name Drazhar is ceremonial, meaning 'living sword".?The most that can be expected from Drazhar by way of conversation is an occasional slight nod or tilt of the head, and it is only the most senior Incubi that are accorded even this scant courtesy. The lords of other Incubi shrines treat the Master of Blades with extreme suspicion, for despite their revered position each was once a lesser warrior, flawed and mortal. Though their original names and identities have been left far behind, a small flame of ambition flickers yet in their black hearts. Drazhar alone remains incorruptible by emotion or pride. He simply exists to kill - nothing more, nothing less.?

盡管自從他戲劇性地現(xiàn)身后，達扎爾就成為了偉大神廟不可或缺的一部分，但眾所周知的是，他從未開口說話，也從未摘下過自己的頭盔，甚至也從未進食或入睡過。甚至“達扎爾”這個名字也帶著儀式性的含義，意為“活體利劍”。達扎爾與大多數(shù)人的交談方式只是偶爾的微微點頭，或者只是歪一下腦袋，而且也只有那些最高階的夢魘武士才能被給予這種微不足道的禮遇。其他夢魘神廟的主人們都對這位利刃之主充滿懷疑，因為盡管他們有著令人崇敬的地位，但也都曾是凡俗且有缺陷的下級武士。盡管他們早已將自己最初的姓名身份遠遠拋在了腦后，但野心的火苗仍然閃爍在他們黑污的心中。但達扎爾卻不受情緒與傲慢的腐化，他只是為殺戮而存在——不多不少，僅此而已。

Regardless of any suspicions that may be held against Drazhar, in him the Incubi ideal of violent perfection is exquisitely personified. His every strike exemplifies the tenets of his order, and each life he claims serves as a gruesome liturgy for his dark brethren. Those Incubi who fight in the presence of Drazhar set aside their deep-seated jealousy, and are driven by his unquestionable skill to even greater extremes of martial expertise. Drazhar invariably becomes the locus of murder on the battlefield, the calm centre in a storm of beautifully enacted violence.?

拋開人們可能對達扎爾所持的任何懷疑，夢魘武士們關于極度完美的理念在他身上巧妙地擬人化了。達扎爾的每次進攻都例示了他所在教團的信條，他奪取的每條性命都是為自己的黑暗兄弟們獻上的可怕禮拜儀式。當達扎爾在場時，夢魘武士們都會在戰(zhàn)斗中放下自己根深蒂固的嫉妒心，利刃之主那毋庸置疑的技藝驅使著他們表現(xiàn)出更為極端的武藝。達扎爾向來都是戰(zhàn)場上的殺戮核心，在每一場華麗展示出暴力的狂風中，他都是那個平靜的風眼。

Taller and more lithe than even other Incubi, Drazhar has a deadly mantis-like speed, and he strikes with his grimly filigreed demiklaives at any that so much as raise a weapon in his direction. He has an uncanny ability to move like lightning, darting through even the most chaotic melee to cut his chosen foe down before their blade can fall or their trigger-finger twitch. Those chosen as Drazhar's prey have few options other than to commend themselves to the gods they hold dear, for once they are marked by the Master of Blades they have only seconds to live.?

相比其他夢魘武士，達扎爾更高挑也更具柔韌性。他有螳螂般的致命速度，只要有人朝他舉起武器，達扎爾便會用自己冷酷華美的半身劈斬刀攻向對方。他有閃電般迅捷的快速移動能力，即便是身處最混亂的近戰(zhàn)中，他也能在被其選中的敵人揮下利刃或扣動扳機前將之砍倒。除了將自己托付給他們敬拜的神明之外，那些被達扎爾選中的獵物幾乎沒有其他選項，因為一旦被利刃之主盯上，他們就只剩數(shù)秒的存活時間了。

Drazhar is one of very few Commorrites whose atrocities are widely admired within the Dark City. The deeds of this enigmatic bladesman are often spoken about, particularly by those Drukhari who managed to secure his services on a realspace raid. There are countless stories of his macabre work, such as the time he personally butchered every Imperial defender in the spire of Hive Tarson, or when he single-handedly dispatched a trio of Custodian Guard at close quarters.?

在黑暗之城中，只有極少數(shù)科摩羅人的暴行會廣受稱贊。這位神秘劍客的事跡經常會被提及，那些曾在掠襲現(xiàn)實世界的行動中設法得到過他服務的黯靈族尤為如此。有無數(shù)的故事講述著他那令人毛骨悚然的成就，比如他曾在Tarson巢城的尖塔中親手屠殺了所有帝國守軍，或者是他在近戰(zhàn)中曾單槍匹馬地迅速處理掉三名禁軍衛(wèi)士。
