The
Angels are the entities which the EVAs must destroy for the benefit of mankind.
As prophesized by the Dead Sea Scrolls, there are 17 Angels which appear and
attack independent to each other.
1st Angel [ADAM]
Adam is the very first Angel. Adam was not defeated but was captured in
Antarctica where all his energy was used to initiate the 2nd Impact. During the
process, Adam was reverted into embryo status and transferred to NERV Japan.
Adam is similar in appearance to the EVAs which are probably clones of Adam.
2nd Angel [LILLITH]
Lillith is the being where all life comes from. In other cultures she is a
fallen angel or Adam's wife before Eve. There is much confusion as to when and
how NERV managed to obtain Lillith. She is vital to the EVA series - her blood
is LCL, her body was used to create Rei and Unit 01. She is the vessel for the
3rd Impact and in case she was ever destroyed, Unit 01 was created from her as
an alternative.
3rd Angel [SACHIEL]
Sachiel is the first Angel encountered by NERV and the EVA series. It has many
attack methods - a palm saber, an eye laser, physical strength, hovering and
self destruction. Sachiel is also the Angel of Water.
4th Angel [SHAMSHEL]
Shamshel is powerfully armed with 2 electric whips. It was destroyed when Unit
01's progressive knife penetrated the S² Engine. After the battle, the 4th
Angel provided a perfect specimen for NERV and although its core was damaged, it
provided a model for the S² Engines later seen in Units 05 to 13. Shamshel is
also the Angel of Day.
5th Angel [RAMIEL]
Ramiel has the most powerful AT-Field of all the Angels. It is capable of
deflecting attacks and also producing high energy outputs to attack anything
that comes within range. Ramiel was defeated by utilizing all of Japan's energy
reserves channeled through the SSDS Positron Rifle. This was successful in
penetrating the AT-Field and the core of the Angel. Ramiel is the Angel of
Thunder.
6th Angel [GAGHIEL]
The 6th Angel was encountered whilst EVA Unit 02 was being transferred to NERV
Japan. Asuka and Shinji co-operated in defeating this aquatic Angel by opening
its jaws allowing 2 destroyers to enter and fire at the S² Engine within the
Angel to destroy it. Gaghiel is the Angel of Fish.
7th Angel [ISRAFEL]
This was the first Angel that was capable to operate as 2 separate entities
after Unit 02 sliced it in half. After defeating both Units 01 and 02, the Angel
was partially destroyed using an N² Mine. The Angel was destroyed by using
synchronized attacks on both halves. Israfel is the Angel of Art.
8th Angel [SANDALPHON]
The 8th Angel was detected within a volcano in the embryonic stage. When an
attempt to capture it was made by Unit 02, it broke loose from the
electromagnetic cage. The operation was immediately changed from capturing the
Angel to destroying it. The UN was present and ready to eliminate the site with
N² Mines in case anything went wrong. It was destroyed by the principle of
thermal dynamics when Asuka used coolant to weaken the Angel's molecular
structure. Sandalphon is the Angel of Birth.
9th Angel [MATARAEL]
Matarael is a spider-like Angel which attempted to attack NERV HQ during a power
failure with acid secreted from its main eye. It was destroyed by all 3 EVA
Units each taking a different position - Shinji as offense, Asuka as defense and
Rei as the back-up. Matarael is the Angel of Seasons.
10th Angel [SAHAQUIEL]
This gigantic Angel showed incredible intelligence. It was able to focus its
AT-Field to jam satellite transmissions and also to drop and aim bombs from its
orbit. Eventually it began to plummet to Earth and the 3 EVAs were in position
to intercept it. Sahaquiel is the Angel of Sky.
11th Angel [IRUEL]
Iruel us composed of thousands on nanomachines. It attacked during a
synchronization test. It was able to evolve and hack into the MAGI system before
being intercepted by a program engineered by Ritsuko and Maya. Iruel is the
Angel of Fear.
12th Angel [LILIEL]
The actual Angel is a Sea of Durac. It is a giant shadow 600 km in diameter and
3 nanometres in thickness. Within this layer is an inverted AT-Field which works
as a black hole. The physical shape in the sky is the shadow of the Angel. It
was destroyed by Unit 01 after being swallowed by the Sea of Durac. Leliel is
the Angel of Night.
13th Angel [BARDIEL]
Bardiel is actually the slimy substance located in the joints of Unit 03 which
prevented the entry plug from ejecting. It actually attached to Unit 03 when it
was being transported by a carrier which flew through a cloud, causing a brief
shock of electricity. It possessed Unit 03, which at the time was piloted by
Touji, and was destroyed by Unit 01 under the control of the Dummy Plug. Bardiel
is the Angel of Blood.
14th Angel [ZERUEL]
Zeruel is one of the most powerful Angels. It has 2 razor sharp ribbon arms and
incredibly powerful optic blasts which can penetrate 18 layers of armor
protecting NERV HQ. It knows how an EVA works and quickly disables Units 02 and
00. It was defeated by Unit 01 which went berserk and devoured the Angel's S²
Engine. Zeruel is the Angel of Might.
15th Angel [ARAEL]
Arael had no intention in finding Adam. It simply wanted to understand the human
mind therefore violating and desecrating Asuka's mind. It was beyond the range
of any weaponry and thus was destroyed by using the Lance of Longinus. Arael is
the Angel of Birds.
16th Angel [ARMISAEL]
This Angel has no core. It is composed of a ring structure made from a double
helix. It's attack method is to assimilate with an EVA. It was able to make
contact with Unit 00 and also to communicate with Rei's mind. It was destroyed
when Rei sacrificed herself and self destructed Unit 00. Armisael is the Angel
of the Womb.
17th Angel [TABRIS]
Kaoru Nagisa, the 5th Child is the 17th and last Angel as written in the Dead
Sea Scrolls. He was able to synchronize with Unit 02 immediately, taking the EVA
with him into Central Dogma. Shinji was sent after him to stop him in Unit 01
and eventually, Kaoru wished to die and was killed by Shinji.
