Tiberium was discovered simultaniously by doctor Ignatio Mobius and Kane, on the banks of the Tiber River. Kane named it after the Emperor Tiberus, Mobious named it after the river. Tiberium absorbs all minerals into it's crystal latice, including minerals needed for farming. This gives the ground a scorched appearance after it is mined away, and completely useless. It converts nearby substances into more tiberium by striking it's atomic structure with it's own radioactive particles.
