Nod
From Reborn
Brotherhood of Nod
Led by the charismatic Kane, the Brotherhood of Nod grew to prominence late in the twentieth century when Tiberium was first discovered (1995). Working largely in third-world countries, wherever there was discontent, unrest, unhappiness - there was Kane.
With the promise of a New World Order and bankrolled by the illicit Tiberium research and trade that Kane made famous, the Brotherhood of Nod began to gain power. A few scattered, disaffected units grew into an army - an army with powerful atomic weaponry, ruthless tactics, and a Tiberium fortune.
Before Nod was first recognized as a world terrorist organization, they were considered an ancient and secret society which maintained strong ties with most global terrorist organizations.
After the final battle of the First Tiberium War, Kane was presumed dead, marking the end of Nod's first comprehensive bid for global domination. The Brotherhood of Nod then broken into several distinct factions. The various leaders of these factions had tried to unite the Brotherhood under their control, but as of late were unsuccessful. The fragmented command structure of the Brotherhood made them unpredictable and especially dangerous.
Historically, Nod forces have been strong - because their leader is strong. Nod soldiers take their cue from the ruthlessness of Kane and his commanders - the cold Commander Anton Slavik and the cunning propagandist Oxanna Kristos.
Nod forces are equally strengthened by their willingness to engage with unbelievable force, their cruel tactics, and their sophisticated Tiberium-derived weaponry. Nod soldiers are willing to die for their leader and their cause. Traditionally composed of third-world renegades, Nod forces often have nothing to lose.
Consequently, the Brotherhood of Nod is a cruel clan, equally violent towards friend and foe. Fueled by a long history, Nod has earned a reputation of employing violence and fear in order to achieve its objectives. GDI Intelligence has difficulty keeping up with the rapid shifting of rank within Nod's command structure, as treachery and assassination are often the keys to career advancement.
The exception, of course, is the nearly totalitarian control of Kane. Nothing will stop Kane and his loyalists, Slavik and Oxanna, in their quest to conquer GDI and control the world.

With the loss of Kane after the First Tiberium War, Nod forces were driven underground and into the dark corners of society. However, as time wore on, they began to reemerge with a level of technology and equipment the likes which were never seen before by any world terrorist organization.
