When Grand Admiral Thrawn began his campaign to retake the Core from the New Republic, his master plan revolved around a trio of crucial discoveries: a cache of Spaarti cloning cylinders, a working cloaking shield, and the insane Dark Jedi clone, Joruus C'baoth.
当索龙元帅发动从新共和国手中收复核心世界的战役时，他的大战略围绕三个重要的发现展开：斯帕蒂克隆柱舱库、运转正常的隐形护盾和疯狂的黑暗绝地克隆人——乔鲁乌斯·瑟鲍思。

It is not yet known how the Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth came to be cloned. The tell-tale side effects of mental instability and self-name mispronunciation indicate Joruus was the result of hasty Spaarti-based cloning. The last known whereabouts of the real Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth was aboard the ill-fated Outbound Flight mission to explore regions beyond the Republic's borders.
没有人知道绝地大师乔鲁斯·瑟鲍思是如何被克隆的。精神不稳定、读错自己名字等明显的副作用表明乔鲁乌斯是斯帕蒂克隆技术的草率成品。人们最后一次见到真正的绝地大师乔鲁斯·瑟鲍思是在命运悲惨的“离乡远征”任务中，那次任务是为了勘察共和国疆域外的区域。

The original Jorus C'baoth was a well-regarded Jedi. Originally from Bortras, a world in the Reithcas sector, he added to his Jedi studies with an education from Mirnic University. After assuming the title of Jedi Master, C'baoth served the Republic by overseeing the demilitarization of the aggressive Aqualish. He helped settle an ascendency contention on Alderaan; C'baoth's delegation decreed that the Organa bloodline was the rightful heir to the viceroy title. The Jedi negotiated treaties between warring aliens, and was also a personal advisor to Senator Palpatine on Jedi-related matters.
原来的乔鲁斯·瑟鲍思是一位受人尊敬的绝地。他原本来自里思卡斯星区的博特拉斯星球，在绝地训练之外还接受了米尔尼克大学的教育。取得绝地大师头衔后，瑟鲍思开始为共和国服务，监督好战的阿夸利什人解除武装。他帮助平息了奥德朗的继承风波；瑟鲍思的代表团宣布奥加纳家族是总督头衔的合法继承人。这名绝地在交战的异族人中间进行调停，同时也是帕尔帕廷议员在绝地相关事务方面的个人顾问。

Thrawn found the cloned C'baoth protecting the Emperor's secret storehouse on the planet Wayland. Clone madness made it difficult to decipher the truth behind C'baoth's origins. He maintained that he had killed the Guardian of the Emperor's vaults, and took his place ruling over the natives of Wayland. It is likely that C'baoth was the original Guardian, and the epic battle he recounted was but a product of his delusions.
索龙发现瑟鲍思的克隆人时，他正在行星韦兰上保护皇帝的秘密仓库。克隆引发的疯狂使人们很难搞清瑟鲍思身世背后的真相。他坚持认为他杀掉了皇帝的仓库守卫，取而代之统治韦兰的土著。可能瑟鲍思本来就是那个守卫，而他所宣称的那场大战只是他的错觉产物。

Thrawn needed C'baoth to coordinate his military forces in much the same way Emperor Palpatine consolidated the fighting spirits of his followers through the Force. C'baoth was hesitant to join Thrawn's forces, but the crafty Grand Admiral promised him more Jedi to train -- namely, Luke Skywalker and his sister Leia Organa Solo. The Empire would capture and deliver the Force-strong Jedi siblings for C'baoth to mold and train as he saw fit.
索龙需要瑟鲍思协调他的军队，就像帕尔帕廷皇帝通过原力加强其追随者的战斗意志那样。瑟鲍思对加入索龙的军队犹豫不决，但狡猾的元帅承诺给他更多的绝地去训练——即卢克·天行者和他的妹妹莱娅·奥加纳·索洛。帝国将俘虏这对原力强大的绝地兄妹，把他们交给瑟鲍思。瑟鲍思将以他觉得合适的方式对他们进行栽培和训练。

C'baoth differed from Thrawn in his perceptions of power. While the Empire sought to exert control over distant worlds, C'baoth was content to rule over Wayland. He believed true power was enforcing his will over the citizenry he faced every day, and not governing remote and faceless planets. As Thrawn's repeated victories over the New Republic strengthened the Empire, C'baoth's ambitions grew. He would soon have dark and twisted designs of ruling over a revitalized Empire as Palpatine once had.
瑟鲍思对权力的理解与索龙不同。帝国寻求控制遥远的世界，而瑟鲍思满足于统治韦兰。他认为真正的权力是把自己的意志强加给每天所面对的人，而不是统治偏远无名的星球。随着索龙在巩固帝国的过程中对新共和国连战连胜，瑟鲍思的野心也逐渐增长。他很快就有了黑暗扭曲的想法，妄图像帕尔帕廷那样统治重获新生的帝国。

C'baoth was very powerful in the dark side of the Force. He could create deadly blue-white lightning from his fingertips, though his preferred use of his powers was imposing his will over others. In his service to Thrawn, C'baoth enhanced the coordination of the Imperial fighting forces, but that was just the start of his influential abilities. When desired, C'baoth could completely subjugate a victim's mind, forcing them to do his bidding.
瑟鲍思的原力黑暗面非常强大。他能从指尖发出致命的蓝白色闪电，不过他更喜欢利用其力量将自己的意志强加于别人。为索龙服务期间，瑟鲍思加强了帝国战斗部队的协调，但这还只是其影响力的开端。一旦需要，瑟鲍思能使受害者的思想完全屈服，强迫他们执行自己的命令。

Luke Skywalker heard rumors of C'baoth's reappearance, and followed these carefully planted leads to Jomark. Skywalker sought out a Jedi Master of old to supplement his training, but upon spending time with C'baoth, he recognized the elder Jedi's madness. The compassionate Skywalker thought he could heal C'baoth, bringing him back from the darkness of insanity. The clone's mental instabilities were too deep-rooted, and Skywalker was forced to flee C'baoth.
卢克·天行者听说瑟鲍思重现的消息，顺着精心安排的线索来到乔马克。天行者想找到一位旧时代的绝地大师完善自己的训练，但在和瑟鲍思共处的时间里，意识了到这名老绝地的疯狂。富于同情心的天行者认为自己能治愈瑟鲍思，将他从疯狂的黑暗中拉回来。这个克隆人的精神不稳定过于根深蒂固，天行者被迫从瑟鲍思身边逃走。

C'baoth grew increasingly frustrated with Thrawn's inabilities to deliver him a new Jedi apprentice. Once Thrawn had all his pieces in place for a push against Coruscant, the insane Jedi made his move. He returned to Mount Tantiss on Wayland, and killed the Imperial officer in charge of the new cloning operation there. C'baoth holed himself up in the storehouse. The clones generated by Thrawn were based on approximately 20 templates. This meant that C'baoth needed to learn to control only those 20 minds to be in command of his own army.
瑟鲍思对索龙没能为他提供新的绝地学徒而日益不满。当索龙开始为进军科洛桑而积蓄力量时，这名疯狂的绝地开始采取自己的行动。他回到韦兰的坦蒂斯山，杀掉了掌管新克隆设施的帝国官员。瑟鲍思把自己关在仓库里。索龙培育的克隆人以大约20个模板为基础。这意味着瑟鲍思只要学会控制这20个人的思想，就能拥有他自己的军队。

At this time, the New Republic had discovered Thrawn's cloning operation, and a strike team infiltrated Mount Tantiss. The team included Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade, whom C'baoth saw as prospective students. When C'baoth realized he could not turn Luke to the dark side, he unleashed a terrible and twisted weapon: a clone of Luke Skywalker. C'baoth had ordered the clone grown from a sample of Skywalker's genetic material kept in the Mount Tantiss storehouse. Luke faced his mindless doppelganger, but it was Mara Jade who eventually killed Luuke Skywalker.
这时，新共和国发现了索龙的克隆设施，并派出一支突击队潜入坦蒂斯山。突击队中包括卢克·天行者和玛拉·杰德，他们被瑟鲍思视为自己未来的学生。当瑟鲍思发现他无法将卢克转入黑暗面后，便放出了一件可怕而扭曲的武器：一个卢克·天行者的克隆体。瑟鲍思利用保存在坦蒂斯山仓库里的一份天行者基因材料样本制作了这个克隆人。卢克与自己的无意识克隆体决斗，但最后是玛拉·杰德干掉了卢乌克·天行者。

After the clone fell in combat, C'baoth let go of whatever tenuous grip he had on reality and self-control. His rage overtook him, charged by the dark side of the Force. A whirling tempest of anger and the Force, C'baoth dropped his guard, and Mara Jade struck him down.
当该克隆人在战斗中倒下后，瑟鲍思丧失了最后一丝理智和自控能力。原力黑暗面火上浇油，完全吞噬了他。在愤怒和原力的狂暴中，瑟鲍思失去防备，玛拉·杰德趁机把他击倒。

Joruus C'baoth was a tall, lean and muscular man with unkempt gray hair and a long beard. He spoke in a powerful, baritone voice and had a surprisingly regal air to him despite his readily apparent madness.
乔鲁乌斯·瑟鲍思是一位身材瘦长、肌肉发达的男人，长着蓬乱的灰头发和大胡子。他以强有力的男中音讲话，虽然看起来很容易陷入癫狂，但却有一种令人惊异的帝王气质。

幕后



In the story outline phase of developing Heir to the Empire, author Timothy Zahn first envisioned Joruus C'baoth to be an insane clone of Obi-Wan Kenobi, a remnant of the Clone Wars. When this direction was disapproved by Lucasfilm Ltd., Zahn created the character of C'baoth.
在《帝国传承》的故事大纲构思阶段，作者蒂莫西·扎恩最初将乔鲁乌斯·瑟鲍思设想为欧比-旺·克诺比的精神病克隆体，克隆人战争的残余。这个设想被卢卡斯影业有限公司否决后，扎恩便创作了瑟鲍思这个人物。
