Page "Kane (Command & Conquer)" Paragraph 3

" We have waited centuries for this moment.

The rivers will flow with the blood of those who oppose us.

"-this particular quote of the Kane character, provided in the manual of the original 1995 Command & Conquer title, refers to a fictional Interpol file designated as "# GEN 4: 16 ".

This reference too appears Abrahamic, leading to the 4th chapter and 16th verse of Genesis in the Old Testament, and specifically to the early days after the creation of mankind, which reads: " And Cain went out from the presence of The Lord, and dwelt in the Land of Nod, east of Eden.

" Likewise, Kane's apparent ability to seemingly return from death and wreak havoc and destruction on those who apparently killed him, appears a reference to the " Mark of Cain "; a sign or curse God allegedly placed on Cain, to prevent other humans from killing him in retribution for having murdered his own brother, Abel.

The wording of this Mark, while not actually preventing Cain's death, warns that any man who kills Cain would suffer a vengeance on themselves sevenfold stronger than that which they exacted upon Cain, striking parallels with the destruction wrought by Nod on the Global Defense Initiative following each of its re-emergings to the world.

Additionally, a Brotherhood of Nod sub-faction in Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath was named the " Marked of Kane " by Electronic Arts Los Angeles.
