![]() A form of religion apparently exists among the Scrin, as the Reaper cult ideology has strong religious overtones. The Cult of Reaper is an enforcer caste, while the Traveler Sect specializes in covert operations. Several subsects have been developed specifically to deal with native populations of Tiberium harvesting worlds. These groups are specialized, and provide the Scrin with certain functions. ![]() Their culture consists of various castes and sects. The Scrin's society or government appears to be organized in a hierarchy, headed by a single leader. Kane referred to them as a "cult of addiction in the guise of a species", and was not too far off. Little of the Scrin's society is known, excluding that like humanity, they are violent and resource-hungry, only considerably worse. GDI Soldier witnessing the destructiveness of the Scrin "Oh my God! They're destroying everything!" The Scrin appear to be dependent on Tiberium as a life source as seen at the end of the GDI campaign the Scrin died without Tiberium radiation. They are able to utilise Tiberium infusion, as well as become mutated by the substance. Recently revealed intelligence has shown that the Scrin have a physical form that is possibly wholly organic. However, it is hard to determine if these are representations of the actual Scrin master race, or mere cyborg drones created for the purpose of combat. Most Scrin infantry are a sophisticated cross of biological and mechanical elements, almost insectoid in appearance. Even then, it is unknown if these are truly representative of their physiology if it is a representation, more likely than not that the recovered transmissions are in some form of holographic detail, hence the glowing. From recovered intelligence briefings, the Scrin appear to be glowing illuminated insectoid figures. Little is known of the Scrin's actual physical appearance during the Third Tiberium War. Eventually, GDI pushed them back and destroyed the Relay Node, killing all their forces, while the Foreman retreated through the last remaining Threshold. Commanded by Foreman 371 and his AI assistant, they were unprepared for the military resistance of the native humans, expecting a dying populace in disarray. ![]() However, Kane tricked GDI into causing a premature liquid Tiberium explosion, luring the Scrin mining force to Earth. The Scrin are suspected to have been the ones who originally seeded Earth with Tiberium using a meteor, intending to harvest the mineral after it had reached a sufficient concentration by extracting it with Threshold Towers. Calling Tiberium "Ichor", the Scrin have a dependence on the substance and will die if they do not receive Tiberium infusion or radiation from a Relay Node. The Scrin, or Visitors, are a powerful and technologically advanced alien race, suspected to be related to the origins of the Tacitus. Ah, the Visitors, greatest of paradoxes! Ancient, immeasurably powerful, yet chained to the physical by a desire for Tiberium so strong, it eats at their very core! ![]()
