Black Disciple

From Command and Conquer Wiki

The Black disciple is a special Black Hand trooper deployed exclusively by the Black Hand. Much like the Confessors in the regular Brotherhood's forces, a Disciple is assigned to lead every infantry squadron in an area of operation, with him being assigned if the commander makes such a request in the Black Hand's secret shrine.

Black Disciples provide a squad with upgraded capabilities. This would allow each unit to clear garrisoned buildings. Like all flame units of the Black Hand, these units can be upgraded with the purifying flame, dramatically increasing any infantry squad's lethality.
