Kane

The Commander (nicknamed "Kane" in the text files) is a minor character in Qeios: Republik.

Behind the scenes
Kane appears only in one scene in the pilot episode. He is shown speaking with Eva in a balcony room. No dialogue had been recorded at the time of the episode's cancellation, however he appears to be showing remorse about the current situation, despite Eva's attempts to reason with him. Seconds later, the window is smashed by three gunshots that kill him. Who shot him is not clear; a second before Eva is seen drawing a gun and she is seen kneeling over him afterwards as guards burst in. However, Ethan is then seen hiding on the adjacent rooftop holding a sniper rifle. Additionally, the series notes hint at the possibility of a third gunman. In any case, Kane's death was to be an important plot point of the series, most notably as it allowed Eva to seize power.
