Whether Nod really is thousands of years old or they just named themselves after the 'Land of Nod', to which Cain was banned after the murder is unknown. This concept would explain Kane's agelessness, as well as why he would survive several lethal blows (notably, the Ion Cannon strike on the Sarajevo Temple of Nod).Īrtifacts found in a cave below the Cairo Temple of Nod, discovered by GDI commando Nick Parker during his rescue of Sydney Mobius, indicate a possible link between the Brotherhood and this legend. These people also believe that this makes Kane immortal.

However, there are some who believe that Kane is also the Biblical Cain. While the name could be coincidental, it could also be that Kane is using the name to boost his image as a prophet. With the pseudo-religious nature of the Brotherhood of Nod, one can not escape the similarities between the name of Nod's leader with Cain. Nadia Zelenkov, paraphrasing Genesis 4:16 ( src)Įxcavated artifact depicting the murder of Abel It should be noted that the "Land of Nod" is not an actual place, but rather a state of wandering, as Noded means "to wander" in Hebrew.Īnd Kane went out from the presence of the Lord, and took up residence in the Land of Nod. Cain then departed, heading to the land of Nod, which is east of Eden. God responded by marking Cain, saying that anyone who slew Cain would have sevenfold vengeance taken on him. Cain responded that the punishment was too great and that anyone meeting him would kill him. God decreed that the ground would not produce for Cain, and that he would exist in a state of perpetual wandering. Later on, God spoke to Cain, and revealed that he knew of this murder.

God had shown favor to Abel, who sacrificed his best lambs to God, while Cain merely offered some typical crops (showing disrespect towards God as a result, as Cain did not offer his best to show his devotion). God accepted Abel's offering while rejecting Cain's. In an envious rage, Cain slew Abel in a field. According to Genesis, following humanity's fall, Adam and Eve eventually had two sons: Cain and Abel.
