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. INCOMING TRANSMISSION***** “Of course not, Commander. You can’t kill the Messiah.”

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.” * Ancient Astronauts: Tiberian Twilight makes it clear this is what he is. * Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence: * Badass Beard * Bald of Evil / Bald of Awesome * Batman Gambit: Turns out GDI did exactly what he wanted when they fired the Ion Cannon at Temple Prime, causing a liquid Tiberium explosion that attracted the Scrin to Earth. * Big Bad: Of the entire Tiberium series. * Cain and Abel: Yes, he's that Cain. * Catch Phrase: * "You can't kill The Messiah." * "Peace through Power!" * "On vision, one purpose." * Evil Gloating: Frequently. * Evil Laugh * Genre Savvy * Dark Messiah * I Am the Trope: At the end of the Soviet campaign in Red Alert, "For the time being Comrade Chairman, I am the future." * Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: At the end of Tiberian Sun. * Large Ham * Man Behind the Man: Occasionally likes to stay in the shadows and let others (Stalin, Marcion, Parker) be the titular leader. * New Era Speech * Propaganda Machine: Makes considerable use of media manipulation. * Really Seven Hundred Years Old * Slasher Smile: His characteristic little smirk. * Smart People Play Chess: "Your move." * Tank Goodness: He's admitted to being a tank enthusiast. * Unexplained Recovery: Each time he returns after Nod's defeat. Subverted in that Firestorm and Kane's Wrath show he had an extensive recovery period between defeats and reappearances. * You Have Failed Me
