复仇焰魂 the Burning Vengeance

“这个地方早晚会被烧成灰烬，焚毁它的不是风中飞烬，而是我的复仇之手。”

传记

基根·诺和曾经是一名普通弗雷尔卓德部族居民，现在则变成了另一种生物，布兰德。他的身世警醒着后人，被更强大的力量所诱惑会带来什么后果。基根为了追寻传说中的世界符文，背叛了自己的同伴并将符文据为己有，就在那一瞬间，这个人彻底消失了。他的灵魂被彻底燃尽，他的身躯成为了活体烈焰的容器，如今，布兰德游荡在瓦洛兰，寻觅着其他的符文。他曾遭受的苦难，凡人活上十几辈子也绝无可能经历，而他发誓此仇必报。

Once a tribesman of the icy Freljord named Kegan Rodhe, the creature known as Brand is a lesson in the temptation of greater power. Seeking one of the legendary World Runes, Kegan betrayed his companions and seized it for himself—and, in an instant, the man was no more. His soul burned away, his body a vessel of living flame, Brand now roams Valoran in search of other Runes, swearing revenge for wrongs he could not have suffered in a dozen mortal lifetimes.

身为一名弗雷尔卓德医者的儿子，基根·诺和天生是一个异类。他母亲拥有的微薄魔力和草药学识，让母子二人得以在滨海小村瑞格恩的边缘谋得生计。他们为数不多的朋友都来去匆匆。虽然当时基根还是个孩子，但他很早就明白自己的父亲是个凶恶的强盗，也正因为他父亲的身份——连带着因为他自己——使得母亲被人避之若浼。村民们叫他“强盗的杂种”。基根的孤独和愤恨在心中隐隐燃烧，常常变得暴躁乖戾。

The son of a Freljordian healer, Kegan Rodhe was born an outsider. The little magic and herbcraft his mother possessed allowed them both to survive on the fringes of a small coastal community named Rygann’s Reach. Friends were few and far between. Even as a young boy, he knew his father was an enemy reaver, and that he—and Kegan by extension—was the reason his mother was shunned. The villagers called him “the reaver-bastard”. Kegan allowed his loneliness and resentment to smolder, often turning violent.

在一场似乎永无终结的寒冬中，经过数年的煎熬，体弱的母亲撒手人寰。基根抛洒她骨灰的同时，想起了那些她花费毕生精力医治过的人们。没有任何人前来吊唁。他知道，他们巴不得他也随母亲一起消失在冷风中。

After enduring years of seemingly endless winter, his mother’s frail body finally gave in. As Kegan spread her funeral ashes, he thought of the people she had spent her life healing. None had come to pay their respects. He knew they wished him to disappear into the cold air as well.

他会成全他们，不过他要先完成自己的复仇。他烧毁了整个村落，然后消失在夜里，留给自己一道永远都无法痊愈的伤疤。

He would oblige them, but not before he took his revenge. He burned down the village and fled into the night, leaving himself with scars that would never heal.

基根在弗雷尔卓德的冰冻苔原上游荡。他告诉自己，他要寻找自己的父亲，但在内心深处，他是在寻找一个朋友……或者，至少是一张友善的面孔。他的追寻徒劳无果，于是钻进了一个山洞里，准备等待死亡。

Kegan wandered the frozen tundra of the Freljord. He told himself that he was searching for his father, but he knew deep down he was looking for a friend... or, at the very least, a kind face. Finding neither, he holed himself up in a cave, and waited to die.

但他等来的不是死亡，而是另一个异类。

It was not death that came to him, but another outsider.

神秘的魔法师瑞兹在这个被冻得半死的年轻人身上看到了潜能，于是收他作为学徒。这对师徒经历了许多磕磕绊绊，基根稚嫩而狂野的魔法让二人双双感到灰心丧气，而瑞兹对耐心和谦卑的要求往往被置若罔闻。

The mysterious mage named Ryze saw potential in this half-frozen young man, and took him on as an apprentice. Teacher and student struggled as Kegan’s nascent, wild magic frustrated them both, and Ryze’s requests for patience and humility often fell on deaf ears.

不幸的是，对于基根的培养始终只能排在第二位，瑞兹始终最关心的是他最初的使命。他一直以来都在搜寻并藏匿一种巨大到足以毁灭符文之地的力量——传说中的世界符文。在追查到一块符文碎片以后，基根面对了那令人绝望的诱惑，同样的这份诱惑曾让太多人失去理智。符文是这世界上所有魔法的源泉，而他不顾导师的警告，选择将这力量据为己有。

Unfortunately, instructing Kegan would always come second to Ryze’s original mission. He had long sought to collect and hide away a power that could be Runeterra’s unmaking—the legendary World Runes. After tracking down one such fragment, Kegan faced the same desperate temptation that had driven so many before him to madness. The Runes were the source of all magic in the world and, against his master’s warnings, he chose to seize that power for himself.

瑞兹被迫见证自己的失败，见证自己的学徒被原始的魔法焚毁，基根的灵魂被彻底吞噬了。那一刻，一个新的灵魂诞生了，那不是瑞兹曾在冰雪中搭救过的年轻人，也不是曾被他当作朋友的那个弗雷尔卓德法师。

Ryze was forced to watch in failure as his apprentice was burned away by the raw magic, Kegan’s soul utterly consumed. The creature that was born in that moment was no longer the bitter young man Ryze had rescued from the snows, nor the Freljordian mage he had come to know as his friend.

这个火焰和狂怒的复仇灵体行走在凡人的领域，如今被世人称为布兰德。

Rather, this vengeful being of fire and fury that now walked the mortal realm would eventually become known as Brand.

布兰德诅咒他曾经的师父，诅咒其他一切阻挡他夺取符文的人。布兰德甩出魔法烈焰的火舌长鞭，瑞兹勉强拣回一条命。

Cursing his former master, and every other living thing that would ever come between him and the Runes, Brand lashed out with magical flames, and Ryze barely escaped with his life.

自那天起已经过去了数百年，布兰德如同一场无法无天的野火般存于世间，他始终在夺取，从未返还任何东西给这世界。有时，他是苍穹上划过的火流星，有时，他沉入冰冷的土地进入漫长的休眠，等待那种绝无仅有的魔法气息将他引向另一枚世界符文……如果真的让他得偿所愿，那么符文之地上将只有极少数人有能力阻止他。

Over the centuries since that day, Brand has lived an anarchic, wildfire existence, taking and never giving anything back to the world. At times, he blazes across the heavens like a comet. At others, he sinks into the cold earth and slumbers, waiting for the unmistakable scent of magic that will lead him to another World Rune… and should he find one, there are precious few in Runeterra with the power to stop him.
