These connections, while quite clear, are certainly not ground-breaking. Seth tells the player that power flows 'from God to Kane to Seth.' In addition, the region which they inhabited after Kane's banishment was known as the land of Nod.

Another son of Adam was Seth, and, in Command and Conquer, Kane’s right hand man is known as Seth. In the Bible, Kane is the son of Adam, and kills his own brother, Abel. Cain was the first killer in the Bible, and clearly the Kane in Command and Conquer seems to have been inspired by him. In any event, I found most of them very interesting, and so I have written this article.įirst, there are the obvious connections. I am certainly not foolish enough to believe that I was the first to see them and to look at Command and Conquer as a modern fable. I do not know if someone else has looked for these connections before and published a compilation of all of them. In exploring this theory, I did my best to look up some of the ideas, so-called coincidences, surprises, and other relations in Command and Conquer. Some will even say that it is a modern fable, if such a thing exists, with roots in the past told in a new medium. There is a magic to it that many fans have written about and professed.

Command and Conquer is more than just a game.
