Okay, here's my breakdown of it. Feel free to expand however you may, this is by no means and official compilation as Westwood never confirmed any of the fans speculations. I believe that we'll see that in the next C&C game, which was hopefully started by Westwood, and to be finished by EA.

There's something that I've not seen mentioned once, and that is that each Command & Conquer game had two storylines within itself. Depending on which campaign you played, a different side won.

So, starting with Red Alert, Einstein goes back and changes everything, breaking the C&C timeline off from our own. Red Alert I takes place. Now, when the Allies win, you see everything progress perfectly into Red Alert II, but there's two outcomes to the war. When the Soviets win, we see Stalin's secretary kill him, and Kane kill the secretary, apparently to then bring the Brotherhood of Nod to power. From there, the Tiberian Dawn/Tiberian Sun storyline takes place. It's the easiest explanation. Smile

Here's a diagram of where they all break off:

Now that the storyline's covered, let's talk about Kane.

Obviously, something's up with the guy, his first appearance was made in the 1940s during Red Alert I, and his last somewhere around 2020 during Tiberian Sun. Obviously, no man can withstand 80 years with no visible effects of aging.

There were many speculations about Kane, the most popular one being that he was working in coordination with the alien Scrin, the aliens to whom the ship in Tiberian Sun as well as the Tacitus originally belonged.

But, however, in Renegade, we found that hidden tomb beneath the Temple of Nod, apparently containing the body of Able of biblical origin. Able, the man who's brother, Cain, killed him in a fit of jealousy. As the story goes, God punished Cain. He was cursed to walk the Earth forever, with anyone who attempted to kill him being punished sevenfold. Cain was said to have fled to the land of Nod.

Can Kane be the biblical Cain? It's pretty probable, considering that this tomb was placed into Renegade, with heiroglyphics on the wall depicting a man murdering another.

But Kane certainly has a connection to Tiberium, what with his vast experiments and attempt to launch the Tiberium missile in Tiberian Sun.

What I believe the story to be is that Kane, wandering the world since the beginning of the world itself, was desperate to end his curse. Somehow, he came into contact with the alien Scrin, and by whatever means, they offered to lift his curse if he were to be their pawn on earth; the one who would prepare the earth for their purposes (whatever they may be) by covering it with Tiberium. After all, if he is the true, biblical Cain, he cannot be killed.

So, if Kane is not able to be killed, we can reason how he escaped the Temple in Tiberian Dawn, and how he could come back for a sequel after being impaled by GDI's McNeil in Tiberian Sun.

As a side note, it may also be important to mention that the biblical Cain had another brother...Seth.

A lot of the information on the biblical Cain and Able was taken from this site.
