NAME: Ikari, Gendou AGE: 48
SEX: MALE
POSITION: SUPREME COMMANDER - NERV
NOTES :
Supreme Commander of Nerv and the force behind the Complementation Project, Gendou Ikari wishes to evolve man into a single organism to be reunited with his deceased wife, Yui. In the End Of Evangelion, it is revealed that Gendo distances himself from Shinji, his son, because he was afriad if being loved; afraid that another could love him. So like Shinji, he shut out the rest of the world.
Quote:"I am so sorry,.......Shinji"
POSITION: SUB-COMMANDER, 2nd IN COMMAND
NOTES: A teacher of Yui Ikari before Second Impact occurred, he was not alway so favourable of Gendo Ikari, finding his attitude quite disgusting when thay first met. Cool, calm and collected, he oversaw many battles in the Commander's abscence.

SEX: FEMALE
POSITION: MAJOR, THIRD IN COMMAND
NOTES:
"I'm tired,... tired of it all"
Misato develops growing disatisfaction with herself throughout the series. She believes that she is playing a role to be appreciated, that the her we see in NERV uniform isn't the true her, merely a mask covering herself.
"The true me is always crying"
She puts on this mask because of the promise she made to herself when he was young, to be a good child. Yet she hated that, hated being a good child, thus eventually she ends up hating herself for what she was doing.
"Is this happiness..?"
"Men always do that.........go to their own world,.. and leave me behind"
Misato fears being ignored by the men in her life. Her father was too weak to deal with the harsh realities of family life, and instead chose to ignore them; ignore his responsibilities. She hated him for that. To supplement this pain; to heal her mind with a temporary escape, she used Kaji. She wished for him to disgrace her, so she wouldn't have to pretend to be pure anymore. But she found her father in him, and fled in fear.
"He was just like my father.."
Because of her idea that we are unstable by ourselves, she is hurt when Shinji rejects her, preferring to be by himself that with the company of another. Again, she is rejected by the man in her life.
Quote:"I guess it's true,....anything's better than being alone"
POSITION: CHEIF SCIENTIST - NERV
Dr. Akagi, like her late mother, made the mistake of getting involved with Gendou Ikari. Ikari refused to forget Yui, supplementing his desire with Rei. Like her mother, Ritsuko was a physical body, to fullfil the sexual desire until she was of no use. Nothing more.
Upon realising this Ritsuko, like her mother, makes an effort to destroy Rei by destroying the Dummy Plug System, destroying the spare Reis.
She is condemned after this point, imprisoned, then killed by the Commander himself.
As Kaji states " A woman with a mole like a tear on her cheek, is destined to a life full of heartache and sorrow." His observation proved correct.
Quote:"I'd gladly welcome death"
POSITION: CONTROL ROOM OPERATOR - NERV
Maya Ibuki works together with Aoba and Hyuga under Captain Katsuragi in the main control room. However she also happens to be a special protegee of Dr Ritsuko Akagi. The closeness between these two can be seen during Thrid Impact, when a projection of Dr Akagi greets Maya, to help her evolve.
QUOTE:"I can't.....shoot guns"
Lt. Hyuga is resposible for monitoring the tactical situation in NERV's main control room, as well as other subcontrol facilities, as needed. He is also the source of information regarding classified information about NERV for Misato Katsuragi, revealing many secrets to her. As to why, this may be because he is attracted to her. After all, a projection of Major Katsuragi appears to evolve Hyunga.

POSITION: AGENT - NERV
The overseer of the Second Child, Asuka Sohryu, whilst in Germany, he accompanied her to Japan to officially hand over EVA Unit 02 to the Japanese installment of NERV, but perhaps more importantly to deliver the embryo of Adam, the first angel, to Gendou Ikari.
"Hmmph.....truely amazing"
Whilst it appears that he is an agent of theirs, it is later revealed that he is a spy for the Japanese government, sent to investigate various institutions affiliated with NERV such as the Marduck Institute. Determined to discover the truth behind NERV and Second Impact, he uses Misato Katsuragi's security card to access Dogma, discovering the giant Lilith crucified there. When Fuyusuki is captured by SEELE he risks resucing him to learn the truth first hand, to distinguish it from all the lies laid in NERV's files. After this he is fatally shot, leaving the evidence he obtained with his lover Misato Katsuragi.
Quote:"Though I'd rather be between Misato's melons, this is the place I'd like to be when I die"
POSITION: EMPLOYEE OF GEHIRN, WORKED ON "PROJECT E"
Yui Ikari was killed in an experiment involving "Project E" in 2004 AD. However, her soul, absorbed by, then stored in Evangelion Unit 01, became the vessle to ensure human survival for eternity.
