Cano

75:4.5Eve had told Cano of this oft-re­peated warn­ing on the fate­ful oc­ca­sion of their se­cret meet­ing, but Cano, not know­ing the im­port or sig­nif­i­cance of such ad­mo­ni­tions, had as­sured her that men and women with good mo­tives and true in­ten­tions could do no evil; that she should surely not die but rather live anew in the per­son of their off­spring, who would grow up to bless and sta­bi­lize the world.

75:3.7For more than five years these plans were se­cretly ma­tured. At last they had de­vel­oped to the point where Eve con­sented to have a se­cret con­fer­ence with Cano, the most bril­liant mind and ac­tive leader of the near-by colony of friendly Nod­ites. Cano was very sym­pa­thetic with the Adamic regime; in fact, he was the sin­cere spir­i­tual leader of those neigh­bor­ing Nod­ites who fa­vored friendly re­la­tions with the Gar­den.

75:3.9In­flu­enced by flat­tery, en­thu­si­asm, and great per­sonal per­sua­sion, Eve then and there con­sented to em­bark upon the much-dis­cussed en­ter­prise, to add her own lit­tle scheme of world sav­ing to the larger and more far-reach­ing di­vine plan. Be­fore she quite re­al­ized what was tran­spir­ing, the fa­tal step had been taken. It was done.

75:4.7True, Eve had found Cano pleas­ant to the eyes, and she re­al­ized all that her se­ducer prom­ised by way of “new and in­creased knowl­edge of hu­man af­fairs and quick­ened un­der­stand­ing of hu­man na­ture as sup­ple­men­tal to the com­pre­hen­sion of the Adamic na­ture.”

75:5.3When they learned what had hap­pened to Eve, the in­fu­ri­ated in­hab­i­tants of the Gar­den be­came un­man­age­able; they de­clared war on the near-by Nod­ite set­tle­ment. They swept out through the gates of Eden and down upon these un­pre­pared peo­ple, ut­terly de­stroy­ing them—not a man, woman, or child was spared. And Cano, the fa­ther of Cain yet un­born, also per­ished.
