传记

提到诺克萨斯力量的象征，帝国上下没有人能比德莱厄斯这名久经沙场的战士更加适合。他从无名小卒逐渐成长为诺克萨斯之手，劈开了无数敌人的身躯 —— 其中也不乏诺克萨斯自己人。他从不怀疑自己执行的公义，也从不会在举起战斧后迟疑。作为崔法利军团指挥官，德莱厄斯的任何对手都不用指望他手下留情。

There is no greater symbol of Noxian might than Darius, the nation’s most feared and battle-hardened leader. Rising from humble origins to become the Hand of Noxus, he cleaves through the empire’s enemies—many of them Noxians themselves. Knowing that he never doubts his cause is just, and never hesitates once his axe is raised, those who stand against the commander of the Trifarian Legion can expect no mercy.

德莱厄斯和他的兄弟德莱文是在港口城市贝西利科长大的孤儿。德莱厄斯艰辛地供养弟弟和自己，始终都要用武力面对年长的孩子们，还有任何威胁到他弟弟的人——甚至包括城市卫兵。街头的每一天都是一场生存的战斗，德莱厄斯十二岁那年夏天赢来的伤疤比有些士兵一辈子的都多。

Darius and his brother Draven grew up as orphans in the port city of Basilich. Darius struggled to provide for them both, constantly fighting with gangs of older urchins and anyone else who threatened his little brother—even the city guard. Every day on the streets was a battle for survival, and Darius earned more scars by his twelfth summer than some soldiers do in a lifetime.

扩张的诺克萨斯帝国占领贝西利科以后，刚刚得胜的指挥官塞勒斯在这对不受管教的两兄弟身上看到了力量，于是他的军队就成为了兄弟二人的家。随后的年岁中，他们参与了许多次血腥的征服战役，足迹横跨整个已探知的世界，也曾多次为帝国镇压叛乱。

After Basilich was seized by the expanding Noxian empire, the victorious commander Cyrus saw the strength in these defiant brothers, and they found a home within the ranks of his warhost. Over the years, they fought in many grueling campaigns of conquest from one end of the known world to the other, as well as crushing a number of rebellions against the throne.

在帝国内部，任何人都可以掌权得势，不论出身、文化或履历，而德莱厄斯正是这一理想最狂热的追随者。他从一个无名小卒，在军阶中稳步攀升，始终都将使命放在最高的位置，而且也凭借自己的凶悍、自律和死不退让的态度赢得了许多尊敬。在达拉莫平原的血染战场上，他甚至斩首了一位诺克萨斯将军，因为这个懦夫下达了撤退的命令。德莱厄斯发出不羁的咆哮，将带血的战斧高高举起，他将溃散的战团重新集结，并且以寡敌众，获得了一场出乎意料的伟大胜利。

Within the empire, anyone could rise to power, no matter their birth, culture, or background, and none embraced this ideal more fervently than Darius. From humble beginnings, he rose steadily through the ranks, always putting duty before all else, and garnering great respect for his aggression, discipline, and refusal to ever take a backward step. On the bloodsoaked fields of Dalamor Plain, he even beheaded a Noxian general after the coward ordered a retreat. Roaring in defiance and hefting his bloodied axe overhead, Darius rallied the scattered warbands and won a great and unexpected victory against a far more numerous foe.

他获得了帝国的嘉奖，并拥有了自己的高阶部队，引来帝国境内数千名新兵投奔麾下。德莱厄斯拒绝了其中的大部分，只接受了最强壮、最自律、最刚毅的人。他的名号令人闻风丧胆。在诺克萨斯以外的地方，甚至有城市在看到他的军旗后就会立刻宣布投降。

He was rewarded with a senior command of his own, attracting many thousands of eager recruits from across the empire. Darius turned the majority away, accepting only the strongest, the most disciplined and iron-willed. Such was his fearsome notoriety, even in the lands beyond Noxus, that it was not uncommon for entire cities to surrender at the first sight of his banners.

瓦尔筑地区星罗棋布的云际要塞之间，生活着一群高傲的尚武居民。他们在诺克萨斯数十年的侵略中一直不屈顽抗。在一次惨烈的胜利后，德莱厄斯被诺克萨斯皇帝勃朗·达克威尔亲自任命为诺克萨斯之手。那些最了解德莱厄斯的人知道，他渴望的不是权力也不是谄媚，他只想看到诺克萨斯战胜一切。所以达克威尔命令他带兵深入北地弗雷尔卓德，让野蛮人部落臣服于帝国脚下。

After a grinding victory against the cloud-fortresses of the Varju, a proud warrior people who had resisted decades of Noxian aggression, Darius was named the Hand of Noxus by Emperor Boram Darkwill himself. Those who knew Darius best knew he craved neither power nor adulation—he wished merely to see Noxus triumph over all—so Darkwill ordered him and his warhosts far north into the Freljord, to finally bring the barbarian tribes to heel.

这场战役旷日持久，多年的征战最后走到了苦涩冰冷的僵局。德莱厄斯多次险象环生，经历过暗杀、埋伏，甚至还曾被狠毒的凛冬之爪部族俘虏。无休无止的消耗战让他感到厌倦，因此他返回诺克萨斯，打算调兵遣将、巩固战力。

The campaign dragged on for years, ending in a bitter, icy stalemate. Darius narrowly survived assassination attempts, ambushes, and even capture by the vicious Winter’s Claw. He was growing weary of endless wars of attrition, and returned to Noxus to demand a reconsolidation of the military.

他和手下的老兵们踏入都城，却发现皇帝已死于杰里柯·斯维因领导的政变。这次政变获得了许多盟友支持，包括德莱厄斯的亲兄弟。

He marched his veterans into the capital, only to find that the emperor was dead, killed in a coup led by Jericho Swain. The act had been supported by many allies, including Darius’s own brother, Draven.

这时的他处境尴尬。作为诺克萨斯之手，许多贵族都认为德莱厄斯会为达克威尔复仇，但他和这位不光彩的斯维因将军早已相识，而且尊敬有加，还曾在几年前的艾欧尼亚攻势败北以后公开反对将斯维因革职的决定。诺克萨斯之手的誓言是效忠诺克萨斯，而不是某个特定的统治者，而斯维因对于帝国的新愿景从来都坦率直言。德莱厄斯意识到，斯维因就是他注定要追随的领袖…...只不过斯维因另有打算。

This was a difficult position. As Hand, many of the noble houses would expect Darius to avenge Darkwill, but he had known and greatly respected the disgraced general Swain, and had spoken against his discharge after the botched offensive in Ionia some years earlier. The oaths of the Hand were to Noxus, not any particular ruler, and Swain was a man who spoke honestly of his new vision for the empire. Darius realized this was a leader he was prepared to follow... but Swain had other ideas.

崔法利议会诞生了，三个人共同统治诺克萨斯，每个人都代表了一种力量：远谋、 武力和狡诈。德莱厄斯欣然接受了自己在议会中的位置，同时提议建立一支新的精英部队——崔法利军团，倾尽帝国全力打造的最忠诚、最威望的战斗力量——并带领诺克萨斯的军队走入崭新的光荣征服时代。

With the establishment of the Trifarix, three individuals would rule Noxus together, each embodying one principle of strength: Vision, Might, and Guile. Darius gladly accepted his place on this council, and pledged to raise a new, elite force—the Trifarian Legion, the most loyal and prestigious warriors the empire could produce—and lead the armies of Noxus into a glorious new age of conquest.
