Tiberium Series[]

Kane[]

Cquote1

Played by Joseph Kucan

Cquote2


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…

Premier Alexander Romanov[]

Played by Nicholas Worth

After the Soviet Union was defeated in the Second World War, the victorious Allies installed Romanov as the premier. They did so based on his reputation as a man of peace who would curb any Communist aggressions. They were fooled, however; Romanov held a deep bitterness over Russia’s defeat that was matched by his hatred for the Allies that had wrought it. His deception was to enable him to gain the power he needed to exact his revenge on them. With his position secure, he was able to fake a crisis in Russian ally Mexico that would necessitate a military buildup. From there, he would begin his master plan.

Though he is one of Romanov’s top advisors, there are indications he is influencing things more than he should be.
