Ireul |
In
an attempt to avoid Eva combat, the Eleventh Angel (in the form of billions
of microscopic entities) attacked NERV in a soft spot - the Three Mag System.
After taking over the body of a Dummy Plug Test Eva, Ireul quickly adapted
to any attack that NERV threw at it. It soon began infiltrating the Three
Magi, starting with Melchior, in an attempt to override them, rewrite them,
and self-destruct them. With its AT Field in place to deflect any physical
attack, Ireul's only weakness was the Super Computers themselves. With
Ritsuko Akagi's quick thinking and typing skills, NERV was able to stop
the attack and purge the Magi of Ireul completely by simply erasing the
virus. |

Leliel |
The
Twelfth Angel appeared without any warning over Tokyo-3 in what appeared
to be a giant "shadow ball". It silently hovered in place until the EVAs
attacked it. It seemed that it could disappear and reappear at will to
easily avoid the firepower thrown at it. It was only when the Eva-01 pilot
got too cocky and stepped on to its actual form (its supposed real shadow
on the ground that was less than a tenth of a centimetre thick) and was
sucked into a Dirac Sea that the real threat became obvious. With no known
or obvious weakness and Shinji Ikari still trapped inside the Angel's self,
NERV was ready to drop all the world's remaining Non-Nuclear (N2) bombs
into its center in a desperate attempt to free the children and destroy
the threat. In the final seconds before the drop, the Eva-01 went Berserker
again (this time with no power) and burst free of its intended tomb in
a bloody explosion of rage and fear that killed Leliel. |

Bardiel |
Originally
the Eva-03, Bardiel infected the Unit on its voyage to the synchro test
site in Japan. The Angel "Virus" became active during the test and in the
process of destroying the NERV base escaped and headed for Tokyo-3.
A very dangerous enemy, the Thirteenth Angel was quick, agile, and carried
a human hostage in its entry plug (the Fourth Children, Toji Suzuhara).
Bardiel made short work of Eva-00 and Eva-02 and attacked Eva-01 as a Berserker.
With elongated arms as weapons, it started to crush Eva-01's and Shinji
Ikari's throat. The Third Children refused to defend himself in fear of
hurting the 14 year old pilot in the Thirteenth Angel.Ikari Gendou ordered
his son to be taken off line and have the Dummy Plug initiated to attack
the Angel.Eva-01 killed Bardiel in a heart beat and proceeded to rip its
corpse apart severely damaging the trapped pilot in the process. |

Zeruel |
Zeruel
was a walking wrecking ball. He marched right through EVAs 00 and 02 and
right to Central Dogma's front door (Eva-01 stopped him before he could
reach Terminal Dogma). For weapons, the fourteenth Angel had ultra sharp,
whip-like blades for arms and a photon discharge from its "mouth". With
its whip-blades, it was able to slice up Asuka's Eva-02, and take off its
head and arms. Eva-00 pushes the N2 mine through the angels AT field, but
a metal plate closes over the S2 unit.It had even mutilated and defeated
Eva-01, but it did not finish it off before it went Berserker (again with
no power). Zeruel was ripped apart by Shinji and Eva-01. In its Berserker
mode, Unit-01 finished the fourteenth Angel off by eating it and its S2
Drive (which made the Eva fully operational without any outside electrical
energy source and it allowed the Unit to grow to its fullest potential
as a weapon and part Angel). One of Zeruel's whip blades was ripped off
and attached as Eva-01's left arm by Unit-01. |

Arael |
The fifteenth Angel to
appear was a being of pure light. It remained high above Earth's orbit
and only attacked when Asuka and Unit-02 showed up and looked like they
were going to attack it. It retaliated by mind raping Soryu Asuka Langley
and forcing her to relive her most painful memories that she chose to lock
away years ago. It was unrelenting. The pilot of Eva-02 couldn't stop the
flow of emotions that Arael was forcing her to feel and she cracked. The
Angel's attack could only be focussed on one mind at a time, and Asuka
was only saved when Eva-00 and its pilot showed up. After a failed attempt
to shoot the target down, Ayanami Rei was given orders to retrieve the
Lance of Longinus from Terminal Dogma, with which she launched at the Angel.
The Lance of Longinus cut through Arael's AT Field and destroyed the Angel
of Light. The Lance landed in the moon and remained there until the Third
Impact was about to begin. |

Armisael |
Armisael
was a shape-shifting Angel that originally had the form of a double helix
(like the Lance of Longinus) closed up in a circle. Its main means of attack
was to merge with the EVAs and attack the minds of the pilots. It only
managed to get into Ayanami Rei's head, though. When Armisael first attacked
Eva-00 and its pilot, it made Rei to experience true emotions for the first
time in her life. It made her realize that she was truly lonely in her
existence and had never opened herself to anybody, not even those closest
to her. Then Shinji appeared in Eva-01. The sixteenth Angel tried to attack
him too, but the First Children held it back and self-destructed herself
and her Eva in an attempt to destroy the Angel before it could hurt Shinji.
Armisael was vaporized in the blast (as was most of Tokyo-3) caused by
Eva-00's self destruction. |

Tabris/Kaoru
Nagisa |
The
seventeenth Angel was the least expected. Keel Lorenz was the only one
to know that Kaoru Nagisa (born on the very day of the Second Impact and
the Fifth Children) was indeed the final messenger of man's fate. Lorenz
sent Tabris to NERV headquarters in order to hurry the prophecy of the
Dead Sea Scrolls along. When Kaoru arrived at Geofront, he quickly became
Shinji Ikari's best friend and the best synchro-ratedpilot of the children.
Soon after his coming, however, he began his attack. Because his synchro-rate
with the EVAs was so high, he could pilot them without even getting into
the entry plug. With Eva-02 as his body guard he slowly made his way to
Heaven's Door and Terminal Dogma in the heart of NERV HQ. While an enraged
Shinji and Eva-01 attacked Eva-02, Tabris realized that he had been duped
by SEELE when he finally saw the white giant pinned to the cross above
the lake of LCL. When Kaoru realized that the Angel that he was face to
face with was Lillith and not Adam (the one whom all Angels must return)
he allowed Shinji to grab him with Eva-01. He explained that he would allow
himself to die so that mankind could decide for itself the path that must
bechosen. After 60 seconds of pause, Shinji squeezed and Tabris/Kaoru died. |
