Kane (Command & Conquer)
Kane is a fictional character in the alternate history universe of Westwood Studios' and Electronic Arts' ''Command & Conquer'' real-time strategy video games in which he is a seemingly immortal mastermind behind the ancient and secretive Brotherhood of Nod society. Little is truly known about Kane; many of his followers draw a direct connection between him and the Abrahamic figure of Cain, which he does not go out of his way to confirm or deny. Considered a charismatic and brilliant sociopath by the outside world, Kane is seen by his followers as a holy figure and a messiah.
Kane's origins in the 1995 ''Command & Conquer'' series date back to the 1996 game ''Command & Conquer: Red Alert'', in which he can be seen acting in an advisory capacity for USSR leader Joseph Stalin during an alternate World War II fought between the Allies and the Soviet Union. After Stalin's assassination in this timeline, Kane disappears from the political scene, re-emerging in the 1990s to lead the Brotherhood of Nod, a quasi-religious terrorist organization. Over the course of the next fifty years Kane's Brotherhood of Nod engages in an ongoing conflict with the Global Defense Initiative, a multinational military force backed by the United Nations. The conflict between the two parties is characterized by long periods of cold war between the two factions separated by periods of brief but violent military combat on a global scale. Typically, these periods of open conflict coincide with or occur during periods when Kane re-emerges to personally lead the Brotherhood of Nod, while the periods of cold war typically occur during times when Kane is absent from the Brotherhood of Nod. Kane's last appearance was in the 2010 game ''Tiberium Twilight'', in which he and his followers were last seen entering the extraterrestrial Threshold 19 tower, from which they vanished from the Earth.
In all games in which the character has been featured the role of Kane has been portrayed by Joseph D. Kucan. Kane has been the only character in the ''Command & Conquer'' franchise to have appeared in all four primary ''Command & Conquer'' titles, and is also the only character to have appeared in both the ''Command & Conquer'' and ''Red Alert'' timelines. Kane's presence in the game series also survived the acquisition and subsequent closure of Westwood Studios by Electronic Arts. Over the years Kane has been well received, earning praise form several independent reviewers and a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
==Character development and promotion==
Portrayed by Las Vegas-based actor Joseph D. Kucan, who also directed the FMV cutscenes for all ''C&C'' games except the most recent installments by Electronic Arts, the character has consistently remained highly popular and iconic to fans of the ''Command & Conquer'' franchise since the inception of both in 1995, to the point Electronic Arts Los Angeles launched a promotional website for ''C&C'' dedicated entirely to the Kane character,〔http://www.kanelives.org/ 〕 and made the decision to devote the storyline of the expansion pack titled "''Kane's Wrath''" to ''Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars'' exclusively to expanding Kane's background, history and motives. Although Joseph Kucan reprised his role as Kane in the recent ''C&C'' installments, the directing of their cutscenes was instead handled by EA in-house cinematic director Richard Taylor. In 2008, Kucan was inducted in the ''Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition'' 2008 as the longest recurring actor in any video game franchise to date for his portrayal of Kane.
