Kane
This is a /v/ related article, which we tolerate because it's relevant and/or popular on /tg/... or we just can't be bothered to delete it. |
Wants to be Holt's lover.
Also, leader of a badass terrorist organization called The Brotherhood of Nod. But no one on /tg/ cares about that ;_;
KANE LIVES IN DEATH!
KANE LIVES!
PEACE THROUGH POWER!
YOU CAN'T KILL THE MESSIAH!
Are all acceptable memes to shout at random times, or if anyone ever mentions anything with the phonetic sound "Cane" in it, "blank lived, lives" etc., and any mention of peace or power.
In original C&C fluff, Kane was the original murderer from Cain and Abel, cursed by God with immortality to wander the world forever. He named his Illuminati-esue organization, the Brotherhood of Nod, after the curse by God to "wander the Land of NOD forever." Throughout his long life he e enjoys plotting way ahead of time (plan came to fruition in 200x, started plotting circa the dawn of time), advising Soviets, and posing crucified before Ion Cannon beams.
He has started about three wars now, and a number of other fights against GDI. After every war he seems to die, but always comes back with a lucky roll.
Command and Conquer 4 sees a new side of Kane. Kane is a lot like that swell guy Kharn, having a deeper prophetic and well-meaning side that is rarely revealed when he's leading the Brotherhood in global conquest to prepare for his ascension. The fact that he takes his loyal followers with him when he ascends (and wipes Earth clean of Tiberium, and shows regret for not being able to save the player character) probably testifies to the fact that had there been other ways to achieve his goals without killing so many eco-friendly GDI mind-slaves, he probably would have chosen the preferable alternative. But then there would be no C&C games, and to be fair, it contradicts the side of him Westwood and EA had spent the previous fifteen years, real-time, building up.
But, Electronic Arts produced Command and Conquer 4, and like usual, they screwed the pooch, so take it all with a grain of salt.
Like, say, they retconned his biblical origin with a poor Ancient-Aliens background where he was a fucking alien. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
