Corporal Matthew Kane is the protagonist of the first-person shooter video game Quake 4. A soldier in the combined military of Earth, Kane was captured and forcibly converted into a cyborg but was able to maintain his humanity.
Born on a lunar colony, Matthew Kane enlisted with the Space Marine Corps of the Terran Coalition of Man around the time that Earth was invaded by the Strogg, a race of hostile cybernetic aliens. Kane was stationed on Space Station Armstrong during an attack by the Strogg, leaving him as the only human survivor. Kane was assigned to a new squad, but his comrades were suspicious of him because of his trauma from Armstrong.
While attacking a Strogg facility, Kane was captured and forcibly turned into a Strogg himself. He was rescued by his comrades before his brain could be altered, so he maintained his loyalty to the Terran Coalition. Marine Corps medics discovered that the process was irreversible, but Kane's new superhuman abilities as a consequence of being Strogg proved useful when he was able to destroy the Strogg hivemind, dealing a serious blow to the Strogg.
