传记

面对天大的危险，阿克尚也只会轻轻挑起一边眉毛。他身手矫健，嫉恶如仇——而且显而易见，他对服饰兴趣不大。阿克尚非常善于潜行，能够避开敌人的耳目，出现在最令人出其不意的时机。他怀着强烈的正义感，带着一把可以逆转生死的传奇武器，在符文之地上主持公道，惩治邪祟。他以自己的生命践行着自己的信条：“不做混蛋。”

Raising an eyebrow in the face of danger, Akshan fights evil with dashing charisma, righteous vengeance, and a conspicuous lack of shirts. He is highly skilled in the art of stealth combat, able to evade the eyes of his enemies and reappear when they least expect him. With a keen sense of justice and a legendary death-reversing weapon, he rights the wrongs of Runeterra’s many scoundrels while living by his own moral code: “Don’t be an ass.”

在恕瑞玛东部的阴影之中，有人正四处奔走，追索恶人。他手持一把形制怪异的武器，行事迅猛果决，以雷霆手段“帮助”他的敌人赎罪。

Dashing through the shadows of eastern Shurima, a righteous avenger stalks those who have harmed others. His punishment is swift, certain, and exacted by a curious weapon that rights the wrongs of his foes.

阿克尚自小在玛尔未城长大，生来就耳濡目染了种种不公。当地的各路军阀任意横行，巧取豪夺，因此许多人为了生存只能低头苟活，自顾不暇。面对这些恶行，年轻气盛的阿克尚没法视而不见，一旦目睹任何暴行，他就会立刻挺身而出。如此一来，阿克尚就给自己树立了许多劲敌，终于有一次招来大祸，他被人殴打成重伤，奄奄一息。

Raised on the streets of the city of Marwi, Akshan was introduced to injustice at birth. In a place where local warlords took what they wanted, most people survived by keeping their heads down and minding their own affairs. Try as he might, young Akshan could never manage to let bad deeds go unnoticed and was often quick to intervene when he saw someone being mistreated. This approach made the boy many powerful enemies, and on one fateful occasion, left him beaten within an inch of his life.

不过他运气不错。一位名叫莎蒂娅的老妇人恰好在自家门口撞见了这个不省人事的少年。虽然玛尔未人一向奉行事不关己的习惯，她还是把阿克尚带进了家门。也是阿克尚命不该绝，他挺了过来。

But luck was on his side. An old woman named Shadya found the boy unconscious in the street outside her dwelling. Though Marwian custom said she should not get involved, she took young Akshan inside and, against all odds, he pulled through.

等到阿克尚逐渐恢复之后，他发觉这个老妇不是普通人。莎蒂娅是名为“光明哨兵”的组织的一员。这个成立自远古的组织立志于对抗蚀魂夜，根除黑雾的流毒。在她眼中，阿克尚是个问题少年，顽固非常，目中无人，但心底又很脆弱。虽然阿克尚与莎蒂娅因为哨兵的种种规矩产生了激烈的冲突，而她很快便发觉阿克尚其实有很多可取之处。他有胆量，也有良心——两者兼备的人在玛尔未实在罕见。莎蒂娅在这个年轻人身上看到了巨大的潜力，她与阿克尚约定：阿克尚可以留在她这里，躲避诸多仇家的追杀；作为回报，他需要加入哨兵组织。

As Akshan regained his faculties, he realized his savior was no ordinary woman. Shadya was a member of the Sentinels of Light, an ancient order committed to fighting Harrowings and eradicating agents of the Black Mist. She saw Akshan as a troubled youth, stubborn and defiant, but vulnerable. After butting heads with the boy over her numerous sentinel house rules, Shadya quickly discovered there was much to like about him. He had guts and a conscience—a combination seldom found in Marwi. Seeing the immense potential in the young man, Shadya made a deal with him: she would allow him to stay, free from the grasp of his countless enemies, and, in return, he would dedicate himself to the sentinel order.

莎蒂娅将一个哨兵孤狼所需要掌握的一切技巧倾囊相授，两人由此结下了深厚的亲情。出身自穷街陋巷的顽童渐渐成长为了令恶人败类闻风丧胆的阿克尚。然而，虽然他的能力日臻强大，他却发觉自己的导师越来越疏远，也越来越愁闷。

Shadya and Akshan formed a fast bond as she taught him everything she knew about surviving as a solo sentinel. Akshan the scrappy street urchin grew into Akshan the full-grown bane of scoundrels. But even as Akshan’s skills grew by the day, he could see his mentor growing more distant, and more troubled.

最终，莎蒂娅说出了自己的忧虑：又一次蚀魂夜要来了，而且规模之大与往日完全不同，将从暗影岛带来一支由怨灵与恶鬼结成的大军。唯一能够阻止这场天灾的希望就是那些深埋在恕瑞玛地下古墓之中的古代哨兵武备。如果想要将世界从破败之咒中解救出来，他们必须找到这些装备，而且要快。

At last, Shadya told her pupil the reason for her concern: A Harrowing was coming, bigger than any the world had ever seen, bearing an army of wraiths and ghouls from the Shadow Isles. Their only hope of stopping the cataclysm rested with the ancient sentinel weapons that lay buried within Shurima's crypts and tombs. If the world was to be saved from ruination, they needed to collect these weapons, and quickly.

可是莎蒂娅非常沮丧地发现，那些武器已经被当地的军阀抢掠一空。她恳求他们让出这些武器，帮助对抗迫在眉睫的蚀魂夜，可是军阀们拒绝了，反而打算将这些武器中蕴藏的神秘力量据为己用。

To Shadya’s dismay, she found that the ancient weapons had already been plundered by local warlords. She pleaded with them to relinquish the artifacts for the fight against the inevitable Harrowing, but the warlords refused, determined to unlock the weapons’ mysterious power for themselves.

时间紧迫，阿克尚和莎蒂娅情急之下只好利用现有的物资。在清点武备库的时候，阿克尚在地下的密室里找到了一把颇为奇异的枪。可是莎蒂娅十分警觉，当即抢了过来，并且告诫阿克尚绝对不能擅用。这把枪名为“开恩者”，因为灌注了古老的秘术因而获得了难以解释的古怪能力——如果有人死在这把枪下，那么他们生前最后杀害的人将会复生。

With time running out, Akshan and Shadya were forced to make do with what they had. As they took stock of their arsenal, Akshan discovered a particularly striking gun hidden away in the base’s vault. Alarmed, his mentor snatched it away and forbade Akshan from ever using it. The weapon, known as the Absolver, was imbued with an ancient enchantment that granted it a strange, unspeakable power—it could take the life of a killer and, by doing so, restore their most recent victims to life.

“任何人都不能动用这件武器，”莎蒂娅说。“生与死的问题最好留给命运来决断。”

“It must not be wielded by anyone,” said Shadya. “Such matters of life and death are best left in the hands of fate.”

然而阿克尚对哨兵的规矩始终颇有微词，而且他对所谓的“命运”抱有更加激烈的观念。有生以来，他一直在目睹无辜的人受到恶人的残害，而后者又从来都那么随心所欲，不顾忌任何后果。如果命运真的存在，那它绝对需要指引——来自开恩者的指引。

But Akshan still bristled at sentinel rules, and he had even stronger opinions on fate. He had spent his whole life seeing good people horribly mistreated while bad people did as they pleased without consequence. If fate was real, it definitely needed help—help that the Absolver could provide.

阿克尚对开恩者的兴趣越来越大，在经过一番深入的调查之后，他不无震惊地发现：当年莎蒂娅在街头发现了不省人事的他之后，就是用开恩者把他救活的。莎蒂娅用这把枪杀死了当时几乎害死了阿克尚的人，也因此让阿克尚回复了生机。他不禁疑惑，为什么只有他自己一人有资格被开恩者所解救？一定还有别人也配得上再来一次的机会。

As his interest in the weapon deepened, Akshan continued to pry its history from Shadya and came to a shocking discovery: She had used the gun to save Akshan when she found him unconscious in the street all those years ago. With it, she’d slain the criminal who had nearly killed him, and, in doing so, restored young Akshan to life. He wondered: Why did he alone deserve to be revived by the gun? Surely there were others who were more worthy.

在阿克尚怀疑光明哨兵的教条的同时，莎蒂娅则在继续向军阀们施压，希望他们交出偷走的武器。两方之间的矛盾逐渐变得一触即发——终于有一天，阿克尚在回家的路上看到了莎蒂娅的尸体，几乎与多年前他自己倒下的位置一模一样。

While Akshan questioned the antiquated rules of his order, his mentor continued to press the warlords to turn over their stolen weapons. Tensions between the two parties built until one tragic day Akshan returned home to find Shadya murdered in the street, almost exactly where he had fallen all those years ago.

阿克尚知道自己要做什么了。他为开恩者进行了一些必要的改装，然后带着这把禁忌的武器，和一颗急切渴望复仇的心，一头扎进了炙热的沙漠。虽然他无法确定究竟是哪个军阀杀害了他的尊师，但有一点可以肯定：他将找到这些败类，挨个儿清算，直到莎蒂娅重新回到符文之地。

Akshan knew what he had to do. He made some key alterations to the Absolver and set out into the scorching desert with the forbidden weapon, hungry for vengeance. Though he could not determine which of the warlords had killed his mentor, he knew one way to be certain: he would pick them off one by one until Shadya was returned to Runeterra.
