The following is based on the Nod campaign of Tiberian Dawn and might contradict canon.
During the First Tiberium War, the Nod Commander initially served under Seth, Kane's second-in-command at the time. The commander was originally assigned simple tasks, such as the elimination of Nikoomba,[1] but their tactical genius began to be noticed more and more. Seth began to openly resent the commander.[2]
Eventually, Seth gave the commander what would have been a suicide mission; to assault GDI's military headquarters in the Pentagon. However, his plan did not come to fruition, as Kane personally interrupted the briefing by shooting Seth in the head and promoted the Commander to fill his vacancy.[3]
From then on, Kane personally issued important tasks to the Commander. When it was time to build the Temple of Nod in Sarajevo, the Commander was the one tasked with keeping the site secure until the Temple's completion. Eventually, Nod Netrunners hijacked GDI's ion cannon satellite, and Kane allowed the Commander to choose one of four Western landmarks to be destroyed using the ion cannon.[4]
