In Roman mythology Romulus and Remus were the twin sons of the god Mars and the founders of the city of Rome.

Early Years. When Amulius found out about the twins, he ordered that they be thrown into the Tiber River to drown. The boys floated downstream, coming ashore near a sacred fig tree. A she-wolf and a woodpecker—creatures sacred to Mars—fed the twins and kept them alive until a shepherd found them. Faustulus, the shepherd, and his wife raised the boys. They grew up to be brave and bold.

Cain and Abel

1 Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[d] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

10 The LORD said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. 11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

I've not really answered because the story went through multiple iterations and versions as we changed the playable factions and the key game systems. I'm trying to get it straight in my head again before further complicating things by saying something that wasn't the way we planned it.

We had also developed two completely different origins for the Tacitus, and since both stories leveraged that origin, I'm trying to remember what each included. One was centered around the Tacitus being a soul-prison for the leader of the martian force that fought against the Scrin (they knew how to beat the Scrin, but discovered it too late) while the Earth was still primordial, and the other was centered around the Scrin rebels stealing the "bible" of the Scrin -- which may or may not have been written by them in the first place -- and the Scrin Primal's crusade to recover it.

Both were interesting and had some cool reveals.

So no promises on a ton of detail. Much of it is pretty jumbled in my head at this point.

He's an alien. Its canon.

Funny enough, Mars has two moons called Phobos and Deimos.

All in all, the devs had a lot to say about things we didn't necessarily have any deeper thoughts about.

It was due to the martian thing that made me consider a connection. WW usually wanted plotlines to have coherency between themselves, even if this always isn't apparent for the untrained eye. All in all, the devs had a lot to say about things we didn't necessarily have any deeper thoughts about. There is a sensible logical pattern to be found and understood that cannot be found in EA:s own C&C: s which are inconsistent and shallow.

Why shouldn’t we just take EA, and their well-paid employee, Louis Castle at whatever they say on C&C? For one, Louis Castle co-founded Westwood, but certainly did not co-found C&C. Look, for example, to the credits on C&C Red Alert. Castle, mentioned in some versions of the credits (though not on the online version maintained by MobyGames), is never credited with “Original Concept” (that’s Brett Sperry and Joe Bostic) or any sort of high ranking role. Such is true for most of the early C&C games when the framework for the series was being laid out. He doesn't assume a significant role until much later on. Indeed, Castle, prior to signing up with EA, even admitted this himself, when he said in an interview with Gamespot circa 2001, “Again, Brett was doing C&C while I did SNES games and Monopoly. C&C has been and always will be his baby.” Sperry, in that same interview, acknowledges the connection between the Red Alert and Tiberian games, saying, “Right now Red Alert and C&C are connected in my mind. There is an overall story, and you know, we have to ask ourselves, 'What is Kane doing?'” He expresses some uncertainty about how this will continue in the future, but, at the very least, he says that RA1 is inextricably tied to Tiberian Dawn.

"We wanted to make it a contemporary war for a contemporary world, with contemporary politics. At the time, Brett [Sperry] had said that it seemed to him that the next wars won't be fought nation-to-nation, but fought between Western society and a kind of anarchistic terror organization that doesn't have a centralized government. It turned out to be very prophetic". In an interview, Kane's actor Joseph D. Kucan mentioned that the Brotherhood of Nod faction was an invention of Eydie Laramore in particular, with the two of them having extensively discussed biblical metaphor and imaged backstory.
