Gendo Ikari, 48 years old. He is the commander of NERV and the father of Shinji Ikari. 10 years ago,
his son Shinji ran away from him, blaming him to cause his own wife's death. Later, he sent his
son to Tokyo-1 and left him there with a teacher. Gendo is a very secretive and cruel man. He
works for a secret organization called SEELE and he helps them to process the Human
Complemention Program and Project-E. Although he looks faithful to SEELE, he works secretly
against SEELE's will. All he wants to do is prevent the Third Impact from occurred by the Angels. He treats
Rei Ayanami like his own daughter but treat his son like a stranger.
Gendo's surname before marrying Shinji's Mother is Rokubungi. He met his wife, Yui Ikari at the
University of Kyoto and married her after she graduated. He is introduced by his wife to work for a
secret organization called SEELE which means "Soul" in German and becomes the Head of the Human
Artificial Evolution Laboratory. Maybe this is his only intention to marrying Yui. He and his wife worked on
Project-E (the project of developing Evangelions) after the Second Impact occurred. In an accident of
Project-E, Yui was killed. After that, he takes charge of everything and continues with the
Human Complemention Program and Project-E.
