Initiate (Renegade)

The Initiate was one of Nod's earliest Tiberium experiments and therefore a member of the Tiberian Wildlife. They were severely lacking in intelligence, usually assaulting their enemies with their bare hands. However, they were very strong and just their fists could pummel an enemy to death. They were smart enough, though, to wield weapons such as the Chem Sprayer that the Chem warriors used to deadly effect.

They were only used towards the end of the First Tiberium War. GDI Commando Captain Nick "Havoc" Parker battled and killed one on the ship that was commanded by Captain Stuving and First Mate Gilligan. Havoc again encountered them in a secret Nod base when they rebelled against their Nod captors and injuring and possibly killing the GDI-friendly Technician Doctor Shoeman. This rebellion was squelched and the base destroyed. Havoc encountered them last in a Temple of Nod, assisting the mutated Elena Petrova alongside Visceroids. All Initiates were killed, mostly by Havoc.
