| - The enigmatic leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, self-proclaimed prophet, and most magnificent of bastards. He has led Nod every time they rose against GDI, through the years.

| - The enigmatic leader of the Brotherhood of Nod, self-proclaimed prophet, and most magnificent of bastards. He has led Nod every time they rose against GDI, through the years. Wherever Tiberium goes Nod is never far behind, and Kane calls the displaced and downtrodden to his cause. He is convinced Tiberium herald a new age, one that mankind must embrace, and views GDI’s attempts to control and remove Tiberium as foolishly shortsighted, which leads him into conflict with them time and time again. Though Nod has been defeated many times, and Kane himself declared dead just as many, he always manages to return, despite being vaporized by an Ion Cannon and run through with a jagged piece of metal. Despite their assurances to the world each time that he’s really dead now, GDI leadership often wonders if they will ever truly be rid of this madman… INCOMING TRANSMISSION***** “Of course not, Commander. You can’t kill the Messiah.”
