Voiced/Played by: Christine Steel

An apparent stowaway on the alien UFO, Umagon met face-to-face with Commander McNeil. Little is known about her, officially or otherwise.

Aliases: Mack
Affiliation: GDI
Occupation: GDI Commander
Voiced/Played by: Michael Biehn

In their final confrontation, Michael McNeil kills Kane by impaling him with a metal beam. Saves Umagon and recovers the Tacitus, and then awkwardly confesses his love for Umagon with the timeless catchphrase "I love to win!"

Affiliation: The Forgotten
Occupation: Unknown
Voiced/Played by: Christine Steel

Name: Tratos
Aliases: Unknown
Affiliation: The Forgotten
Occupation: Leader of the Forgotten
Voiced/Played by: Christopher Winfield

Basically the only reason any of this happened; some jerk who willingly betrayed everyone on Earth because Kane asked him to translate the Tacitus for him. As punishment for his crimes, he doesn't even get a close-up in the final cutscene. Take that, jerk!




Name: Kane
Aliases: Caine, Jacob; al-Quayym, Amir
Affiliation: NOD
Occupation: God's Understudy
Voiced/Played by: Joseph David Kucan

It is unclear whether Kane looks the way he does because of the Ion Cannon incident in Command and Conquer Tiberium Dawn, if it is due to Tiberium Poisoning, if it is the result of lacking medical facilities post-building collapse and his recovery thereof, or simply due to a horrific accident suffered while on the set of "Will It Blend?" Regardless, his plans are foiled once more by the good guys and the world is given a reprieve from his antics once more.

Brother of Michael McNeil, Jake followed in his brother's footsteps by joining the Global Defense Initiative. He is known more for his association to his brother rather than any personal deeds. Betrays the GDI and his brother in less than 10 seconds of meeting Oxanna Christos.

Author's Note: Yes, Jake McNeil is played and voiced by Joe Kucan's [KANE] brother.









Commander McNeil is shown, captured, as the USS Philadelphia is struck by three ICBMs. As it explodes, the organizational capabilities of the Global Defense Initiative crumble with it; Kane and the Brotherhood of NOD have won, and now nothing can stop Kane from transforming the world. One Vision, One Purpose. As propaganda starts to champion the Brotherhood's cause, Kane is seen in his holy temple preparing to launch the Tiberium missile into Earth's orbit. As we see the weapon travel into orbit, it begins detaching into several components before detonating, releasing its Tiberium payload across the globe. The world is now entirely covered in Tiberium; A new age has dawned.
