传记

暴虐又狡猾的锤石是一个来自暗影岛的亡灵，野心勃勃、不知疲倦。他曾经是无数奥秘的看守，在一种超越生死的力量下骨肉瓦解，而现在他则使用自己独创的钻心痛苦缓慢地折磨并击溃其他人，以此作为自己存在下去的手段。被他迫害的人需要承受远超死亡的痛苦，因为锤石会让他们的灵魂也饱尝剧痛，将他们的灵魂囚禁在自己的灯笼中，经受永世的折磨。

Sadistic and cunning, Thresh is an ambitious and restless spirit of the Shadow Isles. Once the custodian of countless arcane secrets, he was undone by a power greater than life or death, and now sustains himself by tormenting and breaking others with slow, excruciating inventiveness. His victims suffer far beyond their brief mortal coil as Thresh wreaks agony upon their souls, imprisoning them in his unholy lantern to torture for all eternity.

如今的可怕幽魂锤石，曾经也只是一个普通的人，只不过有些纷繁困扰。在那早已被历史遗忘的时代，他曾是一个卑微的看守，他所在的教团致力于收集并保护奥术知识。这个教团创建于福光岛，那里当时还被魔法的白雾笼罩，安宁地藏于世外。

The horrifying specter now known as Thresh was once a simple, if troubled, man. In an age history has all but forgotten, he was a lowly warden of an order devoted to the gathering and protection of arcane knowledge. This order was established on the Blessed Isles, which were hidden and protected from the outside world by magical pale mists.

教团的长老们念在锤石多年劳役的份上，命令他看管海力亚城地下的秘密仓库。这里用枷锁封存着许多危险的魔法器物。当时的锤石意志坚定，得心应手，非常适合这一任务……即便是那个时候，他的残忍倾向就已经被教团的兄弟们察觉。虽然他并没有实施真正的凶杀，或者至少是没有相关的证据，但他依然还是被多数人敬而远之。

The masters of the order acknowledged Thresh’s long years of service, and tasked him with the custodianship of certain hidden vaults beneath the city of Helia. It was there that a vast, secret collection of dangerous artifacts was kept under lock and key. Incredibly strong-willed and methodical, Thresh was well suited to such work… but even then, his penchant for cruelty had been noted by his brethren. While it had not yet manifested in murderous ways—at least, none that could be proven—he was shunned by many.

后来他意识到，自己被授予的这份工作就是为了让他远离其他人，让他得不到自认应当的认同。在黑暗中经年累月的独处让他付出了代价，锤石变得愈发愤恨、嫉妒，在他提着灯笼巡逻于漫长的走廊时，只有那些憎恶的想法陪伴着他。

It became clear he had been given a job that kept him away from others, preventing him from gaining the recognition he felt he deserved. Solitary years in the darkness took their toll, and Thresh grew ever more bitter and jealous as he patrolled the long halls with his lantern-stave, and only his own resentful thoughts for company.

他的转折契机到来了，一个疯狂的国王设法穿过了雾的帷幕，不请自来地踏上了福光岛的海岸。

His moment of opportunity came when the armies of a mad king managed to pierce the veiling mists, and arrived unbidden upon the shores of the Blessed Isles.

暗地里，接踵而至的屠杀让锤石感到欣喜。这个入侵的国王执迷于复活他的王后——锤石欣然地带他前往传说中的生命之水。

Secretly, Thresh delighted in the slaughter that followed. The invading king was obsessed with resurrecting his dead queen—and Thresh willingly led him to the fabled Waters of Life.

只有教团中最高等级的成员才被允许进入藏有圣水的古墓。现在，有国王的士兵在背后撑腰，锤石放声大笑，看着圣所的守护者们倒在血泊中。他认为自己终于如愿以偿。

None but the most senior members of the order had ever been permitted to enter the hidden catacomb that housed the Waters. Now, with the king’s greatest warriors at his back, Thresh laughed as the guardians of that sacred place were cut down before him. Finally, he believed, he would get what he had long deserved.

国王将亡妻的尸体放进生命之水，当时发生的事只有在场的人才知道。然而随后产生的震颤，波及了整个符文之地。

Only those who were there could say what truly occurred when the king lowered the lifeless corpse of his wife into the Waters, but the aftermath would shake the whole of Runeterra.

黑暗能量向外爆发出灾难性的冲击波，吞没了海力亚，迅速席卷福光岛全境，曾经为这里提供庇护的白雾，变得漆黑凶恶。所有收到波及的生命全都瞬间陨落，而他们的灵魂却又无法继续前行，全被困在了介于生于死之间的可怕状态。锤石是最先被夺走生命的，但就在其他人为自己的命运哀嚎时，他却在这灾难中狂欢。

A catastrophic blastwave of dark energy surged outward, engulfing Helia and spreading rapidly across the rest of the Blessed Isles, and the white mist that had once protected them turned black and predatory. Every living thing in its path perished in an instant, and yet their spirits could not move on, caught in a horrifying new existence somewhere between life and death. Thresh himself was among the first to be claimed… but while others screamed in anguish at their fate, he reveled in it.

他从这场灾难，这场破败之咒中崛起，成为了幽魂恶灵，寻求折磨其他人的乐趣，不怕遭到报复，也不再担心凡性的限制。

He arose from this cataclysm, this Ruination, as a spectral monstrosity, relishing the chance to torment others without fear of reprisal, and unfettered by the limits of mortality.

在随后的数十上百年中，他的超自然外观逐渐改变，变得更贴近于他心中持续酝酿的邪恶与残忍。让锤石发笑的是，他意识到大多数被困在黑雾中的灵魂都只保留了生前的碎片，即使是那些最强大的入侵者，即使是赫卡里姆和莱卓斯也不例外。而他自己的力量却在持续增长。

Over the decades and centuries that followed, his supernatural appearance slowly changed to match the malice and cruelty that had always festered in his heart. To his amusement, Thresh came to realize most other spirits trapped within the Black Mist retained only fragments of their former selves—even the strongest of the foreign invaders, such as Hecarim or Ledros—while his power continued to grow.

锤石因单纯的恶意而去掠食那些在他眼中次等的灵魂，他最喜欢的猎物总是那些在他伤害下最痛苦的人。无论他们的决心、耐力、信仰如何强大，他都会尽可能缓慢地击垮他们，一点点了解他们的恐惧和弱点，将猎物玩弄到最后。当他们的生命被撕碎，他们的爱人被夺走，他们的目标感彻底丧失，他们的希望彻底熄灭，锤石的钩锁才会收回到他不死的手掌中。

Driven by spite to prey upon those he perceives as lesser souls, Thresh’s favorite victims have always been those who will suffer the most from his attentions. No matter how strong their resolve, resilience, or faith, he strives to break them as slowly as possible, by learning their fears and weaknesses, and toying with them to the very end. Only when their lives lie in tatters, their loved ones taken from them, their sense of purpose lost and their last glimmer of hope snuffed out, do Thresh’s hooked chains finally drag them into his undying grasp.

即便如此，死亡带来的并不是仁慈的解放，因为被他杀死的人都会被他割走灵魂，并被囚禁在他的诅咒提灯中，被迫永世见证他的掠夺。

Even so, death brings no merciful release, for he tears out the souls of all he kills—imprisoning them within his accursed lantern, to be unwilling witnesses to his depredations for all eternity.

只有过一个灵魂成功脱逃。

Only a single soul has ever escaped him.

赛娜，他最恨的“光明哨兵”的一员，在某个被遗忘的邪恶秘库里与锤石针锋相对并白白送死。后来的数年里，她悲痛欲绝的丈夫卢锡安一直在追击这个残酷的灵魂，并且变得执迷不悟，几乎让悲伤和愤怒彻底将自己吞噬。对于锤石来说，这简直是一道美味佳肴。

Senna, one of the hated “Sentinels of Light”, died a futile death after facing Thresh in some forgotten eldritch vault. Her distraught husband, Lucian, then pursued the cruel spirit for years, becoming singularly obsessed with the hunt, letting his grief and rage consume him almost entirely. To Thresh, it was delectable.

然而，还没等他夺走卢锡安的灵魂，一记仇恨的猛击打破了锤石的灯笼，从中解救了赛娜。

However, before he could finally claim Lucian’s soul, a vengeful blow split Thresh’s lantern open, and freed Senna from it.

他们二人之间的凡尘纽带强固弱现，被勾起兴趣的锤石决定送给他们这个微不足道的胜利，因为他清楚地知道，这场光与影的游戏远没有结束……

Intrigued by the obvious strength of their mortal bond, he has decided to allow them this small and insignificant victory, knowing all too well that the game of light and shadow they all play is still far from over…
