Corporal Matthew Kane is a marine who was involved in the Strogg Wars.

Life prior to Strogg invasion
Nothing is known about Matthew Kane's early life before the events of Quake 4, but it seems likely that he received a typical Lunar upbringing in the years before the Strogg invaded. At some point around or following the outbreak of war, Kane enlisted in the forces of the Global Defence Force, subsequently transferring into the Terran Coalition of Man's Space Marine Corps around the time of its formation, wherein he would attain the rank of Corporal.

Armstrong Station
Matthew Kane was present aboard Space Station Armstrong when the Strogg launched an overwhelming attack on it, and he was the only person to emerge from it alive. Because of his lone survivor status, Kane has, much to his own bewilderment, gained a quasi-mythical status among his fellow marines. Kane doesn't seem quite sure to take this, as in his own opinion having survived the event wasn't particularly worthy of merit.

Operation Alien Overlord
After several months of recuperation, Kane was assigned to the world-renowned Rhino Squad. This was thanks to Lieutenant Voss, who saw Kane's potential to be a truly valuable asset to the team. However, the squad only knows a sparse handful rumours about how he survived the attack on Space Station Armstrong. They've never worked with him, don't trust him, and question if he might be a loose cannon who will put them all in excess danger. Still, with their fates now so intertwined, it's time to adapt or die once again. Given their upcoming mission on Stroggos as part of the huge second invasion force, they will quickly find out just what Matthew Kane is capable of.
