However, his 'genetic derivation' (i.e.: Kane's DNA) is unknown and a perplexing riddle even to them. Kane's existence appears to be known to the Scrin, a spacefaring and Tiberium-based alien species vastly superior to mankind, as he is mentioned in their galactic civilization's data core. Among the Brotherhood's faithful, Kane is openly revered as "The Prophet" or the "Messiah". Again according to Kane, to humans, he is like a father figure he, allegedly, uplifted a fledgling humanity, giving tools and knowledge, guiding them 'every step of the way'. Kane claims to have come to Earth thousands of years ago, only to find humans in 'mud huts' and 'caves', which would place his first appearance between 60 BC.
Though Kane became the number one public enemy of the industrialized nations only at the end of the 20 th century, their intelligence agencies have linked him directly to Joseph Stalin, the infamous leader of the Soviet Union, as far back as the Second World War-set during the early 1950s in the Tiberium universe timeline. Both list the various aliases he has used throughout history, and indicate that no truly reliable sources exist for reconstructing Kane's past, as all his records are either false, forged, or outright planted by the Brotherhood of Nod as decoys and deceptions. Numerous intel files exist on the mysterious man, the most important of which are Interpol file "GEN#4:16" and the GDI's criminal dossier on Kane. At times, he has also gone by the names of 'Caine', 'Jacob' (INTERPOL, File TRX11-12Q) and 'Amir al-Quayym' (MI6, DR-416.52). The problem with Kane's identity, according to the Global Defense Initiative's profile on the enigmatic prophet figure, is that the sole source of all information on the subject is Kane himself-who is not particularly noted for his trustworthiness. I found you people in mud huts-you were living in CAVES!ĭespite the verified passage of more than one hundred years, Kane's physical appearance has remained generally constant through all known reports and sightings
