Kane is a recurring character appearing across various science fiction franchises created by actor and visual effects artist, Kevin VanHook. He is most notably recognized from the "V" franchise, specifically the 2009-2011 reimagining and the book, "V: The Second Generation".

In "V", Kane is portrayed as a formidable Visitor commander, known for his strategic brilliance, ruthless efficiency, and deeply rooted loyalty to the Visitor cause. He initially serves under Anna, the leader of the Visitors, but eventually becomes a key player in the Resistance against the alien invaders.

Kane's character arc typically involves shifting allegiances and moral ambiguities. While initially presented as an antagonist, later story lines may show him battling against his own people, driven by motives that complicate his perceived villainy. Thus, he defies easy categorization, often walking a tightrope between loyal soldier and potential savior for humanity. The character has been portrayed by Charles Mesure and others depending on the franchise.
