![]() Ultimately, however, the Forgotten allied with the GDI to rescue their leader, Tratos, and helped GDI track down Kane's World Altering Missile. On one occasion, Nod forces dressed up as GDI soldiers and attacked Forgotten outposts in an attempt to turn the mutants against GDI. Both sides realized that the expertise of the members of the Forgotten was crucial to their war effort. Second Tiberium War ĭuring the Second Tiberium War, the Forgotten were known to operate in North America and Europe, bringing them into conflict with GDI and Nod forces there. Īt some point prior to the outbreak of the Second Tiberium War, Nod commandos raided a GDI armory in the city of Munich and armed the local Forgotten population to fight against GDI. In truth, however, these facilities were used to conduct Tiberium-based human experiments and recruit new troops. They claimed to defend the Forgotten people, and constructed medical colonies, supposedly to treat the Forgotten's Tiberium afflictions. ĭuring this time, Nod propaganda efforts attempted to sway the Forgotten to their side. Tratos condemned the situation, citing that the area was once a Nod stronghold and claiming that his people have been kidnapped by Nod, he accused GDI of refusing to act because of their mutant status. Īfter a disastrous ion storm in Bogotá, Columbia, more than twenty mutants were reported missing by GDI. Angered, they declared war on the Brotherhood. However, as more and more mutants began to disappear, the Forgotten realized that Nod's benevolent appearance was a facade: they had been kidanpping mutants and converting them into Cyborgs. Though they were ignored by GDI, the Brotherhood of Nod soon took an interest to the Forgotten, providing them with food and medicine. ![]() The largest of these collectives was led by Tratos, a venerable warrior who offered his people acceptance, home and community where once they had none. They began calling themselves the "Forgotten" and bonded over their shared status as outcasts. ![]() These mutants organized themselves into loosely connected nomadic tribes. Many of the residents in these areas became mutants as a result. Large parts of the inner city and poor rural areas were simply forgotten. Įven among the First World population, only those of middle upper class, who were healthy and had no criminal record were selected for evacuation. However, since GDI was sponsored by the wealthiest nations in the world, the First World population was prioritized while the Third World was largely ignored. Large segments of the civilian population were evacuated to space or the Arctic poles, where Tiberium grew slower. History Early history įollowing the First Tiberium War, the Global Defense Initiative began a global evacuation due to the encroaching of Tiberium. ![]() Perhaps due to the harsh environments they live in, the Forgotten are a reclusive and secretive warrior people, with their warriors able to defeat most GDI and Nod soldiers in combat. As such, they were capable of living in areas heavily infested with Tiberium. īecause of their mutations, the Forgotten were healed instead of harmed by exposure to Tiberium. In return, the Forgotten sometimes used the term "Blunt" to refer to non-mutants. The Forgotten are sometimes referred to with the derogatory slang "Shiners", due to the crystalline growths on their skin. Since they considered themselves abandoned by both GDI and Nod, the Forgotten were usually distrustful of outsiders, and some groups were known to engage in terrorist activies against them. These people eventually formed underground communities and began calling themselves "The Forgotten", since they were alienated by the unexposed population. While typically similar to the effects of extreme radiation exposure, the most heavily affected members were physically altered, causing Tiberium crystals to appear on their bodies. In the years leading up to the Second Tiberium War, a majority of Tiberium exposure victims began to show signs of genetic mutation and a variety of Tiberium-based maladies. ![]()
