The '''Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform''' ('''CABAL''') was a sinister and highly advanced [[artificial intelligence]] in the [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series|Tiberian Series]] of [[Command & Conquer]], which, as its name implies, was augmented by numerous human beings who were kept artificially alive within [[Stasis (fiction)|stasis]] tubes and whose [[Human brain|brains]] had been integrally linked to, and [[synchronized]] with, the AI's system core. Presumably this was done in order to significantly enhance the device its overall potential and abilities in a vast multitude of ways. CABAL was used by the Brotherhood of Nod as their tactical and logistical console throughout the [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun|Second Tiberium War]], and it also acted as the networked command hub for the Brotherhood's Tiberium-based cyborg programme. Although essentially gender-neutral, as it was primarily an artificial entity, CABAL was always portrayed as male in both virtual appearance and voice.

==Origin==
(contracted; show full)It appears as the end boss in the final portal world (which is a nuclear wasteland) in an abandoned NOD structure, and must be defeated in order to obtain the final shard of the shining path. CABAL has control of all the defense systems of the base, so to Copper, who comes from a world technologically equal to the middle ages, thinks that it is in fact a magician.
