Redmond Boyle, as of 2047, is the Director of GDI, assuming authority after the GDSS Philadelphia was obliterated in a nuclear missile strike. Formerly, he served as GDI's treasury general. He is a corrupt politician, constantly trying to maintain his image of a responsible and highly competent GDI leader while attempting to exert control over the actions of GDI commanders, including general Jack Granger. Boyle is most interested in the propaganda war, encouraging commanders to partake in potentially foolhardy missions simply to gain symbolic victories over Nod. In particular, GDI operations in Eastern Europe were his idea. Despite the advisement of General Granger, Boyle ordered the useage of the Ion Cannon on Nod's Temple Prime in Sarajevo, an event which led to the Liquid Tiberium Explosion that destroyed Eastern Europe (and destroying all GDI forces in there) and drew the Scrin to Earth. Upon their arrival, he ordered the entire southern hemisphere devision of the Cannon network to fire on the alien ships, which may have had something to do with their extremely violent reaction to their 'hosts'. During the invasion, Boyle fled to a GDI bunker in Reykjavik, which allowed the GDI military to plan the defence of New Eden without interference.
In more recent months Boyle has secretly commissioned the development of a Liquid Tiberium Bomb by GDI scientists, based on captured Nod technology and authorised the GDI Commander to use it against the Scrin and Nod in the final battle for the Relay Node at Ground Zero.
Recently acquired intel indicates that shortly before the Third Tiberium War, Kane decided to use Redmond Boyle as a pawn, and arranged for Boyle to be delayed back on Earth while the rest of GDI command was on board the Philadelphia. Nod's "LEGION" launched a stealth assault on the GDI Treasury building, ensuring that Boyle would be on the ground in time to become acting Director.
