Inner Circle

right|200px|thumb|The Inner Circle (2031). The Inner Circle is composed of the Brotherhood's most powerful members, second to Kane in authority. Prior and to a certain point during the events of the Firestorm Crisis, the group is composed of five generals who have survived the aftermath of GDI's victory over Kane. The group is dominated by two generals - Anton Slavik (in the middle of the right photo) and a man known as Marzaq (at the right of Slavik), both of whom try to establish total control over the group and enforce their concept of what the Brotherhood should become in the second interregnum.

The Inner Circle members are eventually assassinated by CABAL's cyborgs, with only Anton Slavik successfully escaping the assassination attempt.

Following the Firestorm Crisis and the return of Kane to the Brotherhood, the Inner Circle was reestabilished and regained it's role as advisors to Kane and his most loyal followers. General Kilian Qatar was a member of the Inner Circle, but following her betrayal and execution her position was took over by one of Nod's most succesful commanders who managed to protect the Gateways of the Scrin.
