But on one mission to track down a hidden Nod base, he stumbles upon a piece of intel involving the elusive Black Hand. A former member of the notorious special operations outfit “Dead-6,” he’s not one to follow orders (to General Adam Locke’s chagrin), but nonetheless is still known for getting the job done. Nick “Havoc” Parker, a gung-ho commando working for the Global Defense Initiative. Rather than continuing on from where Tiberian Sun or Firestorm left off, Renegade instead revisits the First Tiberium War seen in the very first game.
