List of Angels
The Angels are mysterious creatures
that appeared after the First Impact. No one knows where they
come from, who sent them here (although it is believed that God
sent them to punish man kind), or what they are trying to accomplish.

the angels to see their picture*
Angel 1- Adam
In the year 2000, Adam
appeared in the Antarctic. Seen only as a mysterious shape in
a poorly developed photograph, the First Angel bears an uncanny
resemblance to the Evangelion Units. Contrary to the official
story taught in schools, the Second Impact was caused not by a
meteor striking the Earth, but by the explosion of this Angel
during an investigation by a UN team.
Angel 2- Lillith
What remains of the
Second Angel can be found nailed to a cross in an underground
vault beneath NERV. A mask decorated with Seele's coat of arms
representing the seven eyes of Jehovah covers her face. She is
the magnet and eventual goal of all Angel attacks. Lilith provides
the material from which all Evangelion Units are created.
Angel 3- Sachiel
Appearing with all the
devastation of divine wrath in the year 2015, Sachiel is the messenger
of destruction. Hundreds of feet tall, the horrific monstrosity
lumbers through the evacuated streets of Tokyo 3 to assault NERV's
subterranean headquarters with suspicious accuracy. Brilliant
beams of energy burst from the creature's outstretched palm decimating
everything in its path.
Angel 4- Shamshel
With each successive
Angel, the danger to Mankind takes a new form. Evolving, adapting,
learning from each battle, the next Angel will always be deadlier
than its predecessors. Shamshel is no exception. Hugging the ground
as it approaches, the Angel rears upright in combat. Its twin
luminous tentacles lash out with irresistible force, effortlessly
shearing away stone and steel.
Angel 5- Ramiel
A mobile fortress with
a spore gun that attempted to invade the geo-front with a shielded
drill from its lower body. It was stopped by Eva 01, which shot
it with a nuclear positron-rifle in a long distance sniper attack.
Angel 6- Gaghiel
A submarine style Angel
that attacked the United Nations Pacific fleet while it was transferring
Eva Unit 02 from Germany.
Angel 7- Israphel
Originally spotted in
the Kii peninsula, this Angel could separate and reunite its body.
Acting on Kaji's advice, Misato created a plan to counter it,
and it was destroyed by the synchronized attack of Eva's 01 and
02.
Angel 8- Sandalphon
Hatched from a chrysalis
that was found in a lava pool on Mount Asama. It is similar in
form to the ancient creature, Anomalocaris and can swim through
magma at high speed.
Angel 9- Matriel
This Angel looks like
a huge spider. It tried to melt Tokyo-3's armor with a corrosive
liquid, but was destroyed by Eva 00's pellet gun.
Angel 10- Sahaqiel
This Angel suddenly
appeared over the Indian Ocean. It tried to attack by taking advantage
of its unique body structure and mass, by falling towards its
target at high speed under the protection of its A.T. Field. But
it was destroyed by Evas 00, 01 and 02.
Angel 11- Ireul
Ireul, the Eleventh
Angel, was composed of nano-machines, each the size of a virus.
It invaded Melchior, one of the three Magi super computers that
control NERV Headquarters, and initiated a self-destruct sequence.
Utilizing notes left by her mother, Ritsuko was able to reverse
the process and stop the Angel.
Angel 12- Leliel
The Twelfth Angel appeared
in the sky over Tokyo-3 with no warning. IT subsequently enveloped
Shinji and Unit 01, cutting them off from the outside world. Spheroid
in shape, this Angel was only seen by its shadow. It generated
an inverted AT Field that created a Sea of Dirac, an area of space
describable only by abstract mathematics. Ritsuko theorized that
this space might be connected to another universe. It was destroyed
by an unilateral action of Eva Unit 01.
Angel 13- Bardiel
During activation tests
of Eva Unit 03, Bardiel attacked and took control of the Eva from
NERV and its pilot. Subsequently, Eva Unit 03 became listed as
the Thirteenth Angel and the remaining Eva Units were dispatched
to destroy it. After Shinji refused to engage the rouge Eva with
its human pilot, Commander Ikari ordered that control of Eva Unit
01 be given to the Magi. Despite Shinji's resistance, Bardiel
is destroyed, but at what cost to the Fourth Child?
Angel 14- Zeruel
The Fourteenth Angel
made a direct attack on NERV Headquarters in an effort to reach
what lies beneath it. Although Asuka and Rei both sortied immediately
the Angel made short work of them with its monofilament ribbons.
It was not until a berserk and out of control Unit 01 appeared
that the newest and deadliest Angel was defeated.
Angel 15- Arael
The Fifteenth Angel
appeared in orbit, outside the range of most conventional weapons.
It employed a psychic attack against Unit 02 and its pilot, Asuka,
but was finally destroyed by Rei's use of the Lance of Longinus.
Angel 16- Armisael
Appearing in the skies
over Tokyo-3 as a coruscating ring of energy, the Sixteenth Angel
was faced by Rei in Unit 00. When the Angel contracted around
her began invading the Eva, Rei engaged Unit 00's self-destruction
system, destroying both the Angel, and, unfortunately, herself.
Angel 17- Tabris
The last Angel took
the form of a human boy, Kaworu Nagisa, the Fifth Child. Unlike
previous Angels, Tabris did not attack immediately. Instead, he
spent time with Shinji examining what it means to be human. In
the end, however, Shinji was forced to destroy the Angel in order
to save humanity.
Angel 18- Homosapien
That's right. Man is in actuallity the last of the Angels. The Angels in fact, are one of many possibilities that Man will eventually evolve into. Confusing? You bet!
