Prince Xizor was the Underlord of the most powerful criminal organization in the galaxy. He was one of the most influential beings in the entire Empire, third to Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith. An elegant being, Xizor was highly public, but his associations with Black Sun were only whispered, and never ever spoken in accusatory tones.
西佐王子是银河系最强大犯罪组织的头目。他是整个帝国最有影响力的人物之一，仅次于帕尔帕廷皇帝和西斯黑暗尊主达斯·维德。作为一个优雅的人，西佐的人缘很好，但他和黑日的关系仅仅在私下被提起，而且从未有人以此谴责他。

An ambitious criminal mastermind, Xizor schemed to topple Darth Vader from his favored position beside Palpatine. Xizor hated Vader, though the Dark Lord never suspected the true reason why. About a decade before the Battle of Hoth, Vader had established a biological weapons laboratory on the Falleen homeworld. After an accident, the city adjacent to the lab had to be razed by orbital bombardment to stop further contamination. Vader's actions killed 200,000 Falleen, including Xizor's entire family -- his mother, father, brother, two sisters and three uncles. Xizor was not on the planet at the time. Rather than strike out in unprepared vengeance, Xizor carefully erased all records of the family tragedy, forever deleting evidence of his hatred for Vader.
作为一个野心勃勃的犯罪天才，西佐密谋扳倒达斯·维德，使他不再成为帕尔帕廷身边的宠臣。西佐憎恨维德，但那位黑暗尊主从未想过为什么。大约在霍斯战役前十年，维德在法林人的母星建了一个生物武器实验室。一次事故后，紧邻实验室的城市不得不被轨道轰炸摧毁，以阻止污染扩散。维德的行动杀死了20万法林人，包括西佐全家——他的母亲、父亲、兄弟、两个姐妹和三个叔叔。当时西佐不在母星。与其毫无准备地实施报复行动，西佐宁愿仔细抹去这场家庭悲剧的所有记录，永远毁灭他仇恨维德的证据。

Xizor was a smooth-skinned Falleen male with green skin, and deep lavender eyes. He wore his black hair in a topknot ponytail, and wore a smaller ponytail at the base of his skull. He often wore long robes of luxurious fabric. When aroused, his skin turned a orange-scarlet, part of a complex mating response holdover from Xizor's reptilian heritage. Xizor's alien background also allowed him limited amphibious ability, as he was able to breathe water for 12 hours.
西佐是一个男性法林人，有着光滑绿色的皮肤和深紫色的眼睛。他把黑色的头发在头顶上束成一个马尾辫，在脑袋底部还束了个较小的马尾辫。他常穿布料奢华的长袍。性起时，他的皮肤会变成橙红色，这是复杂交配反应的一部分，遗传自西佐的爬行动物祖先。西佐的异族血统还赋予他有限的两牺能力，他能在水下呼吸12小时。

Although his body was muscular, exotic and similar to a 30-year old humanoid in appearance, he was over a century old. He conditioned his physique with myostim units that exercised individual muscles. Xizor also trained in martial arts, and was an expert marksman from training on his personal firing range.
尽管外形强壮、健美，类似30岁的人形生物，但他已超过100岁。他用能锻炼单块肌肉的肌肉刺激设备来塑造体形。西佐还受过武艺训练，而且在其私人靶场里把自己练成了专家级神枪手。

Xizor wrapped himself in the trappings of luxury. His wealth exceeded that of many planets. In his immense palatial estate on Coruscant he would relax, plot and run his vast criminal and corporate empires. His palace neighbored that of Lord Vader, and when the Dark Lord would emerge from his home, Xizor would have him watched constantly. In orbit over Coruscant, Xizor maintained an opulent skyhook resort called the Falleen's Fist. Xizor also owned part of the Manarai, the famous luxury restaurant overlooking Imperial Center's Monument Park.
西佐把自己包围在奢侈品中。他的财富比很多行星还多。在其位于科洛桑的壮丽豪宅中，他可以放松自己，规划与经营自己庞大的犯罪企业帝国。他的宫殿毗邻维德尊主的住处，这样当黑暗尊主外出时，西佐就经常能监视他。在科洛桑上空的轨道上，西佐拥有一座被称为“法林之拳号”的豪华天钩疗养所。西佐也是马纳赖的拥有者之一。马纳赖是一座可以俯瞰帝国中心纪念公园的著名豪华饭店。

To relax, Xizor would sit in his conform-lounger, or trim the branches of his 600-year old miniature firethorn tree. It would provide him blessed distraction from the everyday vagaries of running both Black Sun and Xizor Transport Systems.
为了放松，西佐会坐在自己的合身椅上，或为他那株600岁的小型火棘树修剪枝条。这令他身心娱悦，远离每天经营黑日和西佐运输系统公司的繁杂工作。

He did not rule alone, however. Although he was head of this criminal family, below him he had several "Vigos" or lieutenants that oversaw operations in specific territories. Xizor surrounded himself with the best of employees. His most prized assistant -- and possession -- was the human replica droid Guri.
然而，他并非一个人管理。虽然他是这个犯罪家族的头目，但在他之下，还有不少“维戈”或副官来监督特定领域的运作。西佐的周围都是最好的雇员。他最重要的助手——也是财产——即全仿真机器人古丽。

Prior to Jabba the Hutt's ascent to the head of the Desilijic clan, Xizor meddled into the internal politics of the Hutt heirarchy. The Besadii clan and the Desilijic clan were in heated competition for control of lucrative slaving and spice contracts. In that competition, the head of the Besadii clan, Aruk the Hutt, was poisoned by Jabba the Hutt. Durga the Hutt began an intense investigation to find the cause of his parent's death. Xizor set his eye on getting the powerful Hutt into his debt, so he had his agent Green purposely befuddle Durga's investigators with false leads and dead-ends. Flustered, Durga came to Xizor, asking for help.
在赫特人贾巴成为德西利吉克氏族的头领前，西佐介入了赫特人统治集团的内部政治斗争。贝萨迪氏族和德西利吉克氏族为控制暴利的奴隶和香料合同展开激烈的竞争。在这场竞争中，贝萨迪氏族的头目赫特人阿鲁克被赫特人贾巴毒死了。赫特人杜尔加开始详细调查父亲的死因。西佐考虑让这个强大的赫特人欠自己一个人情，因此让其特工格林故意用假线索和死胡同迷惑杜尔加。慌乱的杜尔加找到西佐，向他寻求帮助。

Xizor's agents were easily able to put the blame on Jabba the Hutt. Xizor had Guri ensure that no harm came to Jabba, though, since he was a valued contact. With Durga in his debt, Xizor pressured him to become a Black Sun Vigo, thus allowing Black Sun a foothold into the Hutt criminal empire. This juggling of allies and enemies was a trademark Xizor strategy.
西佐的特工轻而易举地把责任归咎于赫特人贾巴。但由于贾巴是一个有价值的线人，因此西佐和古丽承诺不会动他一根毫毛。由于杜尔加欠自己一个人情，因此西佐强迫他成为一名黑日维戈，这使黑日在赫特人的犯罪帝国中获得立足之地。这种周旋于盟友和敌人间的手腕是西佐的典型策略。

During the Hoth campaign, Xizor was in the Emperor's throne room on Coruscant when the Supreme Ruler contacted Lord Vader. The two dark-side imbued beings spoke of "the son of Skywalker." Xizor pieced together that Luke Skywalker was Vader's son, and learned of Vader's plan to seduce Skywalker to the dark side of the Force. Rather than have Vader succeed, Xizor plotted to have Skywalker killed.
霍斯战役期间，当最高统治者和维德尊主通讯时，西佐正好在科洛桑的皇座室。那两个全心拥抱黑暗面的人提及“天行者的儿子”。西佐推测出卢克·天行者是维德的儿子，而且获悉维德的计划是将天行者诱入原力黑暗面。为了不让维德成功，西佐阴谋暗杀天行者。

Xizor's schemes were often multifaceted and complex. For instance, once learning of Ororo Transportation's efforts to undermine Xizor Transport System's control of shipping in the Bajic sector, Xizor told Vader of a Rebel fleet massing in the Vergesso system. In truth, the ships belonged to Ororo, and in an effort to impress the Emperor, Vader took his taskforce to destroy the ships. Xizor had duped Vader and Palpatine, and had achieved his objective of wiping out a business rival, and tying up a personal rival in a mission that allowed Xizor to continue his hunt for Skywalker.
西佐的计划常常纷繁复杂。比如，一获悉奥罗罗运输公司企图暗中破坏西佐运输系统公司在巴吉克星区的船运后，西佐就告诉维德一支义军舰队正在弗格索星系集结。实际上，这些船只是奥罗罗的。为向皇帝邀宠，维德派出其特遣队摧毁了这些船只。西佐既欺骗了维德和帕尔帕廷，也达到了自己的目的，即清除一个商业对手，而且还用一次任务拖住一个私人对手，使西佐就能继续搜寻天行者。

Another plot involving Xizor was the release of the Death Star plans to the Rebels. Xizor did not make the acquisition of said plans simple, however. Many Bothans died in capturing the freighter Suprosa, which carried the plans. Xizor could not lose -- if the plans lured the Alliance into the Empire's trap, the Emperor would laud Xizor for a scheme well executed. If the Alliance was able to pull victory from the second Death Star, Xizor would still succeed as an ally of the victorious Rebels, since it was he who allowed the plans to be discovered.
西佐插手的另一项阴谋就是将死星设计图泄漏给义军。不过，西佐没有简单地提供上述设计图。很多博萨人在夺取载有这份设计图的“萨普罗萨号”货船时牺牲。西佐不会吃亏——如果死星设计图将同盟引入帝国的陷阱，皇帝会称赞西佐的妙计。如果同盟能战胜第二颗死星，西佐仍会成功变为获胜义军的盟友，因为正是他让义军发现死星设计图的。

The Falleen had learned to stave off passion in favor of cold, methodical plotting. Xizor was cool and cunning. He savored the presence of humanoid females he deemed attractive. He had a string of mistresses; he never stayed more than a few months with any one female. He would depart, often leaving immense and extravagant gifts of parting -- an entire palatial estate for one. For one with such a hedonistic and varied private life, Xizor grew tired. The powerful pheremones he exuded made the presence of women far too easy to attract. He longed for an equal to conquer.
这个法林人懂得抑制激动的心情，崇尚冷静而有条理的策略。西佐冷静而诡计多端。他会欣赏他认为有吸引力的人形女性。他有一大串情妇；他从不和任何一个女性同居超过数月。他离开时，常留下巨额奢侈的分手礼——每人一整幢宫殿式豪宅。过着这种享乐而放荡不羁的私生活，西佐感到劳累。他分泌的强大信息素极为容易吸引在场的女人。他渴望征服一个和自己旗鼓相当的女性。

That opportunity presented itself when Xizor learned that Leia Organa was seeking contact with Black Sun. Xizor relished the irony -- in an effort to track down the repeated attempts on Luke's life, Leia came to the one who called for his assassination. Xizor became obsessed with Leia, hoping to add her to the long list of female conquests.
当莱娅·奥加纳寻求与黑日联系时，西佐发现机会自己到来了。西佐很享受这种讽刺——为了追查卢克反复遭暗杀的阴谋，莱娅居然求助于暗杀的幕后主使。西佐着迷于莱娅，希望把她加入众多被他征服的女性中。

Xizor arranged Leia's transport to his citadel. There, he attempted to seduce Leia. With the powerful pheremones he produced, Leia almost fell to carnal passion. The two embraced, exchanging passionate kisses -- but Leia rebuffed Xizor's advances, making her point felt with a swift knee to the Falleen's groin. Xizor, enraged, imprisoned Leia.
西佐将莱娅安顿在自己的宫殿里。在那里，他企图引诱莱娅。由于他制造的强大信息素，莱娅几乎陷入肉欲的疯狂。他俩拥抱，交换热吻——但莱娅断然拒绝西佐的进一步要求，还用膝盖狠顶这个法林人的腹股沟，表明自己的态度。恼怒的西佐囚禁了莱娅。

Skywalker, Lando Calrissian, and Dash Rendar infiltrated Xizor's palace to rescue Leia. Xizor's arrogance precluded any admission from his part that his security systems could be breached. With such denial, the Rebel infiltraters were able to make progress in the palace. It wasn't until Leia escaped capture and temporarily disabled Guri that Xizor finally took notice.
天行者、兰多·卡瑞辛和达什·伦达潜入西佐的宫殿营救莱娅。西佐的傲慢使他忽视宫殿的安全系统能从己方遭到破坏。义军渗透者们利用他的这种疏忽设法进入了宫殿。直到莱娅逃出魔掌并暂时瘫痪古丽，西佐才最终发现问题。

High in the palace, Xizor was face-to-face with Luke Skywalker. In a standoff, Luke produced a thermal detonator. Rather than risk a bluff, Xizor let the group leave untouched. Calrissian dealt a powerful blow to the Black Sun criminal empire as he dropped another detonator down a service chute. Unable to recover it, Xizor ordered a general evacuation of the palace.
在宫殿高处，西佐和卢克·天行者面对面较量。在僵局中，卢克弄了一枚热能榴弹。与其面临恐吓，西佐宁愿让义军安全撤出。卡瑞辛把另一枚炸弹投进服务滑道，重创黑日犯罪帝国。西佐无法取回炸弹，只能命令宫殿全面疏散。

In the confusion, the Rebels escaped the palace. Xizor boarded his advanced combat vessel, the Virago, and escaped to the skyhook. High in orbit over Coruscant, a deadly space battle erupted, as Xizor's forces tried to stop the fleeing Rebels. Xizor's forces ran straight into Vader's returning task force. Blinded by his rage, Xizor stupidly announced Skywalker's presence into an open comlink.
在混乱中，义军逃出宫殿。西佐乘坐其高级战斗舰“泼妇号”逃向天钩。在科洛桑轨道上空，由于西佐的部队试图围堵逃跑的义军，一场致命的太空战打响了。西佐的部队直冲进维德归航的特遣队。被愤怒冲晕头脑的西佐愚蠢地在开放通讯中宣布天行者在场。

The transmission was intercepted by Vader. Vader offered Xizor an ultimatum: call off his attack in two minutes and surrender, or suffer the price of not taking Vader's advice and staying away from Skywalker. Xizor remained silent, and his skyhook was destroyed by the Executor.
通讯被维德截获。维德向西佐发出最后通牒：要么在两分钟内停火投降，要么承担不听从维德劝告的后果并远离天行者。西佐保持沉默，于是他的天钩被“执行者号”摧毁了。

The Rebels escaped, and Xizor died aboard the Falleen's Fist. The remnants of Black Sun fell into the control of Moff Fliry Vorru. Guri escaped the destruction of Xizor's trappings. Unknown to nearly everyone -- possibly Xizor himself -- was that he had a surviving relative who was offplanet during the Falleen disaster that wiped out his family. Xizor's niece Savan survived, and sought to take control of Black Sun after his death.
义军逃走了，西佐和“法林之拳号”同归于尽。残余的黑日落入星区总督弗利里·沃鲁之手。古丽幸免于难，没有随西佐的其它奢侈品一起毁灭。几乎没有人——可能包括西佐自己——知道，那场毁灭西佐全家的法林灾难发生时，他还有一个亲戚因不在法林而幸存。西佐的侄女莎文就是这个幸存者。西佐死后，她寻求对黑日的控制权。

幕后



Prince Xizor (pronounced "Shee-zor") was developed specifically for the Shadows of the Empire multi-media project. His character would give a new face to organized crime in the Star Wars saga, replacing the formerly gross, indulgent visage of Jabba and his henchmen with a refined, elegant countenance. The name was coined by LucasBooks' Director of Publishing Lucy Wilson, based on a Portuguese name she had encountered, Xico, with a similarly pronounced 'sh' sound for the 'x.'
西佐王子是专为《帝国阴影》多媒体项目设计的。这个角色使《星球大战》传奇中的有组织犯罪面目一新，以精致、优雅的面貌替换原先贾巴一伙臃肿、放纵的形象。卢卡斯图书的出版经理露西·威尔逊根据一个葡萄牙语名字“Xico”决定了这个角色的名字。该名字里的“x”与西佐名字里的“x”相似，发音都是“西”。

"Xizor is a classic villain," says Howard Roffman, Lucasfilm's Vice President of Licensing. "He's like the Godfather with a reptilian overlay." Artists Mike Butkus and Kilian Plunkett began preliminary designs of the character. Xizor's most famous contemplative and plotting stance was inspired from an old concept illustration of Bib Fortuna, by Nilo Rodis-Jamero.
“西佐是个经典的反派，” 卢卡斯图书许可证部副部长霍华德·罗夫曼说。“他就像披着蜥蜴皮的教父。”该角色的初步设计由画家迈克·布特库斯和基利恩·普伦基特创作。西佐最著名的沉思而阴险的形象是从一幅由尼洛·罗迪斯-贾梅罗绘制的比布·福图纳的旧概念图中得到灵感的。
