Sachiel |
Sachiel the first Angel to attack Tokyo3 15 years after the second
impact. The UN had tried everything to destroy it, they even dropped an
N2 mine(Non-Nuclear) on it. But their weapons have no effect to it's AT
field. An AT is a shield that is created by the something inside you. Sachiel
ripped into bits by Shinji and Evangelion Unit-01 when it went berserk.
It was Shinji's first battle. It self-destruct, trying to destroy Unit-01.
But Unit-01 was barely damaged. |

Shamshel |
The
Second Angel to attack Tokyo-3 was the Insect Angel Shamshel. It attacked
with
energy whips that could be used to slice any object in two. It was able
to severe Eva-01's power cord thereby severely limiting the Test Type's
time to defend itself and attack. It was able to destroy many Armament
Buildings and cause some damage to Eva-01's armour and body, but it was
not an equal match for the Evangelion. It was Stabbed in the core and killed.
Shamshel was killed, but remained intact and was carefully studied by NERV
scientists. |

Gaghiel |
The
first and only aquatic Angel, Gaghiel attacked the UN Pacific fleet in
search of the Adam embryo that Ryoji Kaji was carrying with him from Germany
to NERV HQ in Tokyo-3. It was able to destroy more than half of the fleet
before the Production Model Eva-02 helped the UN Navy penetrate its AT
Field and destroy it. In the first under-water sortie between an Eva and
an Angel it was proven that EVAs have little defence when submersed in
a large body of water. Only with the combined synchro rates of its two
pilots (Shinji Ikari and Asuka Langley Soryu) was the Eva-02 able
to overcome its situation and help defeat the Angel. It was blown up when
Eva-02 dissolved its AT Field and opened it's mouth enough for two explosive
laden UN ships to enter and self-destruct. |

Ramiel |
One
of the best designed Angels in terms of defence is Ramiel. Described as
a "Floating Fortress", the fifth Angel glided to a spot directly over Geofront
with hardly any resistance from the EVAs and NERV. When there, it began
drilling straight down to NERV HQ. It would attack any object that came
within several miles of it that might cause the slightest threat. It attacked
Unit- 01 and caused major damage to the Eva and its pilot when it appeared
up from the ground. Only the first co-operative Eva operation was able
to destroy Ramiel, and only by using the combined electrical power of all
of Japan to power a giant sniper canon fired by Shinji in Eva-01. Its body
remained intact for the NERV scientists to study. |

Israfel |
The
Seventh Angel turned out to be a double threat. When openly attacked, it
would split itself into two separate Angels proving very difficult to kill.
When it first appeared off of Japan's coast, it made short work of Eva-02
and Eva-01, causing great shame to NERV and the pilots. Only after a synchronized
combined attack performed by the two EVAs was Israfel able to be destroyed.
The Seventh Angel's defence and attack demonstrated how man had to start
thinking in new modes of strategy and assault if he hoped to survive God's
harbingers. Fate: Israfel was defeated when the "dance" of the two EVAs
split it and forcibly re-combined it with a powerful set of kicks. It exploded
in a cross-shaped pillar of fire. |

Sandolphon |
What
was almost NERV's biggest break in the battle against the Angels turned
into one of its worst (almost) catastrophes. Sandalphon was originally
found in a live volcano still in its pupa form. It was at this point that
NERV ordered its acquisition in order to capture/kill an Angel and study
it before it became active and dangerous. It awoke and grew to its adult
size in the middle of Eva-02's capture operation.It almost destroyed Unit
02 but was destroyed itself. Eva-02 was only saved when a brave Shinji
(in Eva-01) jumped into the lava and pulled it out. The Eighth Angel was
disintegrated by Eva-02's coolant system being force-fed into it in the
middle of the lava lake. It was only an adult for 2.5 minutes. |

Matarael |
Matarael
attacked at a lucky time. NERV was being taught a lesson by SEELE by having
all of its power shut down when the spider-like Angel appeared and began
burning an acid hole directly through to Geofront from the surface. With
only five minutes of energy a piece, the EVAs 00, 01, and 02 attacked the
Angel from below and killed it with little effort. The Ninth Angel was
easily subdued with only a large machine gun (which proved useless on previous
Angels). It died without exploding and was therefore another perfect specimen
for the scientists at NERV. |
