Bardiel
							Bardiel exhibits similar properties to that of a parasite and hence is one of NERV's darkest fears come true, that is when the Angel invades Unit 03 taking over complete control of its host and trapping its pilot inside the Eva's entry plug.  Obviously this unique ability allows the Angel to adopt all the characteristics of its host and so depending on the Angel's choice of host, Bardiel can quite easily prove to be an exceptional opponent.  As Bardiel chooses to invade and take control of Unit 03, NERV find themselves battling against the very same tool with which they intend to destroy the Angels, meaning NERV have to face off against one of their own defected living Avatars.  Of course there's also a moral issue at stake, what with the pilot of Unit 03 trapped in side that which NERV intends to destroy.
	Bears the name of the angel of hail, also sometimes thought to be the angel of lightning. The Evangelion Bardiel infected and corrupted Eva Unit-03, which was being piloted for the first time by the 'fourth child'. It immediately begins attacking NERV, and disables the other Evas. Only Unit-01 was left active to subdue it, and due to Shinji's reluctance to hurt the occupant of Unit-03, Unit-01 is remotely piloted by Gendo's personnel using a dummy plug system that they have developed.
