Evangelion Classified Information

The Classified Information is a set of data files accessible from computer terminals
located within the video game Neon Genesis Evangelion 2. It is generally considered a
cornerstone of supplemental canon for the influx of new information it provides and given a
great deal of weight due to Hideaki Anno's participation in the game's production. Taking
discrepancies in security access into account (e.g., it requires a higher clearance level to learn
that the white giant is Lilith rather than Adam), the information appears to reconcile almost
completely with the show.

The Development of Eva

A. Publicly Released Information


The multipurpose humanoid decisive battle weapons developed by Nerv for use in combat
against the Angels. They operate on electric power supplied via cable. The internal battery is
only good for five minutes.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Cloned from the First Angel, who was discovered at the South Pole in the year 2000. In that
sense, the Evas have the same common mechanisms as the Angels. One example is the A.T.
Field, which can manipulate a physical domain. Evas differ from Angels in that they lack both S²
Engines and souls.

C. Confidential Information
An Eva is a vessel for a soul that has abandoned human form, and a magnification of the ego,
i.e., the embodiment of a large human being. Attempts were made to operate Evas, but souls
were not placed within them, and the insertion of a soul was essential. The soul that enters an
Eva is called a pilot. However, it takes more than a pilot to make Eva move. Perhaps the pilot
cannot properly utilize the Eva's capabilities.

D. In-Depth Information
A unit called a core is used to eliminate any discrepancies in the joining of Eva, the body of a
god, with that of a human being's soul. The soul of the pilot's mother, which is placed within the
core, acts as a medium and makes piloting possible.
Due to difficulties encountered in the development of Eva-00, the core's system is poorly
constructed, and the Eva falls behind in performance capacity as a result. Another reason for this
is that Eva-00's pilot, Rei, does not have a mother.

Eva Unit-01

A. Publicly Released Information


The pilot is the Third Children, Shinji Ikari. This is the Evangelion Test Type.

B. Generally Recognized Information


During the development of Eva-01, Shinji's mother, Yui Ikari, became the test subject for the
contact experiment. In 2004, she carried out the experiment with Eva-01 at her own request, but
not without losing her life.

C. Confidential Information
Normally, in order for the pilot to link with the Eva's core, it must contain the soul of the pilot's
mother. In the case of Eva-01, it is Yui's soul.
(Eva Unit-01 cont.)

D. In-Depth Information
As Gendo has already exhibited signs of treachery, his son's status as the pilot of Eva-01 is, in
Seele's eyes, particularly dangerous. This is because Seele believe that the Divine Soul should
come into existence only on their terms. However, Gendo has his own plans for attaining
divinity, which he hopes to fulfill using Eva-01.

The Second Child

A. Publicly Released Information


Asuka Langley Soryu is the pilot of Eva Unit-02. Although her nationality is American, she is
1/4 German and 1/4 Japanese. She graduated from a German university at the age of fourteen.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Asuka's mother, Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu, carried out a contact experiment with an Eva. As a
result, she fell prey to a mental illness so severe that she could no longer recognize her own
daughter.

C. Confidential Information
Not long after her mother's contact experiment with the Eva, Asuka was selected by the Marduk
Institute to be the pilot of Eva-02.

D. In-Depth Information
When Asuka's mother carried out the experiment with the Eva's core, only part of her soul — the
maternal component that loves her daughter above all else — remained within Eva Unit-02. This
is why she could not recognize her daughter.

Yui Ikari

A. Publicly Released Information


The mother of Shinji Ikari, and Gendo's wife. She was 27 years old at the time of her death in
2004.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Yui Ikari was a brilliant genetic engineer and an authority in her field. In the year 2004, she
performed the contact experiment on Eva-01 (which was under development) and allegedly died
during the procedure.
C. Confidential Information
By becoming the test subject for the contact experiment, Yui's soul was made to inhabit Eva-01.
Shinji also became the pilot of Eva-01 because Yui's soul dwells inside it.
(Yui Ikari cont.)

D. In-Depth Information
Yui is the daughter of an influential member of Seele, and, accordingly, was in the position of
being able to understand their plans. Knowing this, Gendo became acquainted with her.

Gendo Ikari

A. Publicly Released Information


Commander-in-chief of Nerv and Shinji Ikari's father. A cool-headed personality who will use
any means necessary to achieve his goals. His subordinates find him somewhat difficult to deal
with.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Served the formerly existing entity Gehirn, as the chief of the Artificial Evolution Laboratory.
He employs his gift for manipulating information and concealing his handiwork in order to
actively acquire funding for Nerv's administration.

C. Confidential Information
Married Yui Ikari, who has connections with Seele, so that he could become a member himself.
He held consecutive posts as the Executive Chief of Operations (among other things) for Project
E, the Human Instrumentality Project, and Nerv. Not long after he became a member of Seele, he
went to the South Pole to be an auditor for the Katsuragi Investigation Team.

D. In-Depth Information
Gendo's goals, like Seele's, are the annihilation of the Angels and the Human Instrumentality
Project — but, for him, this means reuniting with the deceased Yui. He moves as to not arouse
suspicion. Seele keep a close eye on him and issue threats as needed.

Special Agency Nerv

A. Publicly Released Information


A special agency under the direct supervision of the United Nations. Its objectives are to
investigate, study, and eliminate the Angels. Nerv's headquarters are in Tokyo-3, the 1st and 2nd
Branches are in America, and the 3rd Branch is in Germany.

B. Generally Recognized Information


The relationship between the government and Nerv leaves much to be desired, as the former
believe that Nerv are responsible for the coming of the Angels. The Human Instrumentality
Committee, a small organization within the UN, holds approval authority over Nerv's budget.
(Special Agency Nerv cont.)

C. Confidential Information
One of Nerv's goals is to annihilate the Angels, but they are also aiming for the evolution of
humanity — in other words, the Path to God. Eva is the key to achieving both goals.

D. In-Depth Information
Nerv Headquarters was constructed inside the Black Moon containing Lilith. The Angels that
head for Nerv H.Q. are trying to make contact with Lilith, the white giant in Terminal Dogma.
They were aiming for Lilith from the start, not Adam.

Marduk Institute

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


An advisory body under the direct supervision of the Human Instrumentality Committee,
established for the purpose of selecting Eva pilots. It operates secretly, and the truth behind the
organization is unclear.

C. Confidential Information
The Marduk Institute is comprised of 108 associated companies, all dummies — in essence, the
organization does not exist. Reports filed from the Marduk Institute to Nerv are, in truth, being
prepared within Nerv itself.

D. In-Depth Information
The selection of candidates by the Marduk Institute is considered a necessary ruse. This is so that
it is not outwardly apparent that Gendo is choosing candidates at his own discretion.

Gendo's Ambitions

A. Publicly Released Information


As commander-in-chief of Special Agency Nerv, his objective is to prevent Third Impact by
eliminating the Angels.

B. Generally Recognized Information


He is focused on carrying both the eradication of the Angels and the Human Instrumentality
Project through to their completion.
(Gendo’s Ambitions cont.)

C. Confidential Information
While Gendo maintains the pretense of striving for the Path to God, his actual goal is to be
reunited with the deceased Yui. Because this has been the only thing on his mind, Gendo invests
a great deal of concern into Eva-01, through whom he is attempting to open up the Path.

D. In-Depth Information
Seele have been making preparations for a divinity handled as they see fit. Gendo, opposingly,
has been forwarding his own plans in the shadows, with the aim of creating his personal vision of
divinity. By fusing with the partially- restored remnant of Adam, and then via fusion with Rei
(i.e., Lilith), Gendo hopes to achieve fusion with Eva-01 (reunion with Yui).

The History of Nerv

A. Publicly Released Information


A special affairs agency under the direct supervision of the United Nations, formed in the year
2010. Its goals are the investigation, research, and annihilation of the objects known as Angels.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Nerv is an executive body that embodies Seele's objectives and is their most important
organization. Unlike Gehirn in its time, Nerv is semi-public.
As a result of Second Impact, Seele underwent a rather radical transformation and began to
vehemently drive their plans forward. Somehow, the miracle of divinity actually existed, and
Adam, a being who was essentially a god incarnate, was also real.

C. Confidential Information
The discovery of Adam created a firm conviction and propelled Seele forward. Several projects
were simultaneously enacted around the time of Second Impact (both before and after): The
excavation of the Black Moon (i.e., Hakone) and the discovery of Lilith; the founding of the
Artificial Evolution Laboratory and the subsequent formulation of Gehirn; the dissemination of
the Human Limitation Theory; the establishment of the Human Instrumentality Committee; and
the development of a world led by the United Nations, who would keep vigil over the battles
with the Angels.
Additionally, there is the plan to revive Adam, Project E. (In the Bible, the one made from
Adam's rib was called Eva.) The Evas are being undertaken as a series, something still currently
underway.
(The History of Nerv cont.)

D. In-Depth Information
The Human Instrumentality Committee is, fundamentally, nothing but a small council within the
United Nations. However, as a subordinate body of Seele, it effectively has the world in the palm
of its hand.
This committee was established on the basis of the Human Limitation Theory. As it was charged
with the study of how to surmount the underlying problem, the committee was allowed to have
an independent research agency: the Artificial Evolution Laboratory.
The Artificial Evolution Laboratory came to possess the remnants of Adam, at which point it
experienced intervention by the more powerful Seele. They tightened the structural framework
and transformed it into the secret agency Gehirn, an auxiliary institution under their jurisdiction.
Gehirn was a preparatory organization and became the foundation of its successor, Nerv. And
then, Nerv itself was created.

Details of the Human Instrumentality Project

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Nerv's three big projects are Project E, the Adam Project, and the Human Instrumentality Project.
Seele regards the latter as the one of the utmost importance.

C. Confidential Information
The Human Instrumentality Project is a plan aimed at divinity. The Evas are absolutely essential
to Seele, for they are the sole key that can open the Way to God. This is because they were
copied from Adam, the being nearest to a god.
Still, there is something humanity lacks. Seele believed they had through Eva what was
necessary to fill-in that which was missing; to make man into a god, or at least into an eternal
existence.
Completing an incomplete humanity, and opening up the Way to God, is Seele's doctrine. What
would happen if people were gathered into something of a god? Seele believed we would
become God himself.

D. In-Depth Information
While the Angels were being engaged in battle, people were also making and advancing the plan
for the path that leads to divinity. The first step is the completion of Eva — the body of a god
and throne of a soul — via the installation of an S² Engine. The interfusion of souls follows.
Afterward, our final natural enemy, the Spear of Longinus security device, is annihilated. Thus,
that which is nearly divine, or perhaps a god in and of itself, is brought to completion, and, with
the Spear gone, cannot be destroyed by anyone. Seele's intention for this man-made god is to
guide the elite (themselves) to state near that of God's.
Gehirn

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


One might call this research organization Nerv's predecessor. It was dismantled in 2010, the
same year that Naoko Akagi completed the Magi System. With the exception of her, Gehirn's
personnel were transferred over to Nerv, the executive agency for all of the projects.

C. Confidential Information
"Gehirn" is Seele's secret agency designation for the Artificial Evolution Laboratory. The
Artificial Evolution Laboratory was a public organization recognized by the United Nations. On
the surface, its goal was the research of artificial evolution.

D. In-Depth Information
Gehirn's objective was the Adam revival project (Project E). This actually entailed making
copies of Adam — in other words, creating the Evas.
And, as they approached the execution, the organization's style was scaled up and Nerv was
formed.

Seele

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


A secret society that puppets Nerv from the shadows towards the fulfillment of the Human
Instrumentality Project. Nerv's financial backing comes almost entirely from them.

C. Confidential Information
An esoteric secret society born during the medieval Dark Ages and originally a religious order.
Slowly but surely, they extended their influence, until at last they crushed the final forces of
opposition in the mid-20th century and became a latent power with covert rule over human
society.

D. In-Depth Information
Upon acquiring the Secret Dead Sea Scrolls, Seele turned once again to a creed that, up to that
point, they had considered naught but the pipe dreams of their ancestors. By putting the miracle
of divinity, in the form of prophecy, within their sights, they restored the faith. Their dogma is
the Path to Adam Kadmon — that is, the approaching of a divinity both ageless and undying.
A.T. Field

A. Publicly Released Information


An absolute physical barrier only the Angels and Evas are capable of generating. No
conventional weapon on the face of the Earth is capable of penetrating an Angel's A.T. Field.
Evas neutralize the Angels' A.T. Fields while engaged in combat.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Humans also have A.T. Fields, but, lacking the sheer power of the Angels’, they cannot affect
the physical world.

C. Confidential Information
The throne of the soul is the body, and the A.T. Field is what determines it. The A.T. Field, or
ego (self), is the mental barrier that separates one person from another.
People are people because they think of themselves as people.

D. In-Depth Information
The very limits to which an A.T. Field can expand is an ego unbound: a god. In its presence,
people's egos collapse and they revert to LCL.

S² Engine

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


The "Super Solenoid Engine" is the Angels' source of limitless motive energy. It is thought that
this gives the Angels abilities such as self-regeneration and metamorphosis that, for living
creatures, exceed the bounds of common sense.

C. Confidential Information
The S² Engine Theory was advocated by Dr. Katsuragi. As the world is formed with spirals, the
engine acquires energy from its shape, which is the same as DNA. From here, the S² Engine was
being envisioned as an energy source that would attempt to procure helical energy — in other
words, an inexhaustible supply.

D. In-Depth Information
The Fruit of Life. This is the one thing that an Eva requires in order to gain an existence equal to
that of Adam.
Angel

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


The unidentified enemy of humankind, transcending the concepts of living and nonliving.
Conventional weaponry is no match for their overwhelming offensive power. The target of their
invasions is Nerv Headquarters in the Geofront below Tokyo-3.

C. Confidential Information
Angels are, indeed, lifeforms that were born from Adam. Humanity, on the other hand,
originated from Lilith. Compared to organisms born from Lilith, the Angels are predisposed
towards enormous size and individualistic existences. Adam-based life should be thriving on
Earth, as it is the life that originally germinated there.

D. In-Depth Information
Two Seeds of Life are not needed on one planet, and, therefore, one of them is excluded. As
recorded in the Secret Dead Sea Scrolls, Adam-based life took part in a contest of survival,
putting the stakes on their own existence. Some of them were trying to access Lilith and reset all
life, some of them had nothing in mind, and some were trying to recover their progenitor Adam.
The Angels — Adam-based life — became active under their respective tactics for survival and
success.

Adam

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


The First Angel. The white giant crucified in Terminal Dogma.

C. Confidential Information
The entity, a progenitor of life, implanted into Earth by the First Ancestral Race. It was
discovered at the South Pole by the Katsuragi Team, but, during the investigation, it blew apart
and degenerated due to its S² Engine artificially going out of control.

D. In-Depth Information
There hasn't been a soul within Adam. At the time of Second Impact, its body was torn apart, and
its soul flew off somewhere as a result. Adam's soul was later recovered by Seele and incarnated.
Because the Evas are a part of Kaworu's own body, he can manipulate them freely. However, he
cannot go into them, for the reason that there are souls (the pilots' mothers) within the bodies.
Dead Sea Scrolls

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


The prophetic text in which the times of the Angels' appearances are recorded.

C. Confidential Information
Seele possess a vast amount of wealth, and, consequently, they had one face as a patron
foundation of the arts and research. The Artificial Evolution Laboratory, Gehirn, etc., were
funded entirely by Seele. Perhaps because of their origins as a religious organization, Seele often
managed the funding support for investigations into the relics of their own faith. Among these,
something was excavated that marked a significant turning point for both Seele and humankind:
the Secret Dead Sea Scrolls.

D. In-Depth Information
The First Ancestral Race recorded a manual or implementation plan regarding the use of the
Seed of Life (Progenitor Entity) and Spear of Longinus security device. This was in turn
transcribed by a religious group and adapted to fit their own doctrines, and the Secret Dead Sea
Scrolls were the result. They are a book of prophecy, in that even now they continue to operate in
accordance with the historical written plan.
Until then, Seele had only fragmentary knowledge of the scrolls' contents and existence, but they
had never imagined that the scrolls might actually exist, contain meaningful prophecies, and turn
up in near-perfect condition. They were sent to headquarters promptly, upon which the actual
truth was skewed and immediately covered up. The parts of little consequence, later released to
the public, were called the Dead Sea Scrolls, whereas what Seele made off with were dubbed the
Secret Dead Sea Scrolls.

First Ancestral Race

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


The entities thought to have created the Angels. The specifics of their intention are unclear.

C. Confidential Information
They were the first extraterrestrial intelligence. The humanoid species, referred to as the First
Ancestral Race, started to spread Seeds of Life throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. As of yet, we
do not know their motives or for what they were aiming.
It is becoming evident that multiple Seeds were disseminated. Eventually, by force of sheer bad
luck, two accidentally landed on the same planet: Adam of the White Moon, and Lilith of the
Black Moon.
(First Ancestral Race cont.)

D. In-Depth Information
Within a carrier known as a "Moon", the First Ancestral Race fabricated a perfect cavity (also
referred to as a "Moon"), at which point the Seed, or "Progenitor Entity", would be placed inside
and sent out into space. That was their technology, and, from the perspective of Angels, humans,
and others, they might be called gods.

The Second Angel

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


The Second Angel, known as Lilith. It came from the moon that carried the Black Moon (the
former became Earth's satellite). Giant, or First, Impact was caused by the collision between the
Moon and Earth.

C. Confidential Information
The white giant crucified in Terminal Dogma. It bore life such as apes and dolphins and as the
final form, Lilin - that is, humankind. In addition, the liquid called LCL is Lilith's body fluid.

D. In-Depth Information
Lilith had no soul. Moreover, its soul has been residing within Rei. Many copies of Rei's body
were made, but that is the reason why only one of Rei herself can exist at any given time. Even
though Rei was copied from Yui's flesh, this was not the case for her soul.

Second Impact

A. Publicly Released Information


On September 13, 2000, a giant meteorite descended upon the South Pole. A huge explosion
resulted, melting the ice and generating massive tidal waves, which in turn caused the sea level
to rise several tens of meters. Collectively, more than 2 billion people on the islands of the
Southern Hemisphere died.
The energy from the explosion knocked the Earth off its axis, producing climate change on a
global scale; Japan became a country of perpetual summer. Many places around the world
suffered drought, flooding, volcanic eruptions, abnormal weather patterns, and other calamities
as a result of this Second Impact. Economic panic and civil war erupted in every nation.
(Second Impact cont.)

B. Generally Recognized Information


Mankind discovered a humanoid lifeform, designated the first Angel, at the South Pole. During
the investigation, a giant explosion occurred for reasons unknown. The well-publicized theory
that it was caused by a giant meteorite is the product of rigged intelligence.

C. Confidential Information
Adam, the First Angel — and the cause of Second Impact — was discovered by the Katsuragi
Research Team at the South Pole. It was courtesy of Seele's funding that the Katsuragi Team
discovered the White Moon, which contained Adam and the Spear of Longinus.

D. In-Depth Information
The other Seed of Life, Adam, was awakened by mankind. The Katsuragi Investigation Team
frantically attempted to reseal Adam using the Spear of Longinus, but failed. Ultimately, through
the phenomenon of the S² Engine apparently going into overdrive by artificial means (details are
vague due to the team's complete annihilation), it became that only an absolute catastrophe —
the resetting of all life due to the disappearance of A.T. Fields, and the construction of an
ecosystem with an Adam base — was prevented. This is called the Second Impact. The incident
blew Adam completely apart.

Third Impact

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


Nerv's personnel are told that, if an Angel were to come into contact with Adam (“the white
giant in Terminal Dogma”), an explosion of similar magnitude to Second Impact will occur. In
actuality, the Human Instrumentality Project would be set in motion.

C. Confidential Information
It is thought that Third Impact will occur if an Angel comes in contact with either Lilith (in
Terminal Dogma) or Adam.

D. In-Depth Information
The alleged reality of Third Impact is that humans will lose their personal boundaries, dissolving
as a result. Life will arrive at its terminus (although it is unclear what such an end entails), and
A.T. Fields will be lost, rendering the preservation of human form impossible.
The Spear of Longinus

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


It was found in the White Moon with Adam at the South Pole. In essence, the Spear of Longinus
is a security device that comes as a set with a Seed of Life.

C. Confidential Information
It is a spear which has a will and is a type of lifeform capable of moving by itself. This is an item
close to a god and thus able to put a Seed of Life (Progenitor Entity), who holds the power of
eternal life, into suspended animation, and this is the reason why the Seed of Life (Progenitor
Entity) does not reach god-status. The First Ancestral Race prepared this as a counter- measure
in the event that a Seed of Life (Progenitor Entity) did not follow their own goals.
It is thought that a Spear acting as Lilith's counterpart was separated from it by the shock at the
time of First Impact. This Spear has yet to be found. There is a chance that it may have been
destroyed.

D. In-Depth Information
For the purpose of opening the Path to God, Gendo and Seele brought Lilith's growth to a point
just before the final stage, and to temporarily delay this they are having Nerv transport the Spear
of Longinus that was paired with Adam.

Dummy Plug

A. Publicly Released Information


Data unavailable.

B. Generally Recognized Information


An entry plug developed for use with a dummy system. Even if no pilot is present, it can activate
an Eva by making her think that a pilot is there.

C. Confidential Information
A copy of a personality is made in the dummy plug, but a soul cannot be copied. Why can't it be
done, or how would it be done? As far as the technology branches of Seele and Nerv are
concerned, it is a theme of research integral to seeking out the Path to God, and study into how to
deal with the problem has spanned many years. Examples of failure include Yui and Asuka's
mother. The dummy plug is something that came about in the midst of that research.

D. In-Depth Information
The dummy systems are artificial souls that were developed at the end of the research. In terms
of functionality, however, the dummy systems leave much to be desired: although they could
make Evas activate, that was the limit of their capacity.
Geofront

A. Publicly Released Information


The facilities for Nerv Headquarters were constructed in a mysterious, giant, underground space
existing beneath Tokyo-3. It is a hemispherical cavity with a diameter of 6 km and a height of
0.9 km, but 89% of it is currently buried. Sunlight is sent in by optical fibers from a light-
condensing block on the surface, maintaining a level of brightness comparable to that on the
surface. Although Nerv facilities are nearly the only things being constructed, there are also
evacuation shelters for civilians.

B. Generally Recognized Information


In addition to the Geofront where Nerv Headquarters is located, there was one at the South Pole.
Moreover, the First Angel, designated "Adam", was discovered within it.

C. Confidential Information
The Geofronts' true identities are the "Black Moon", where Nerv Headquarters is located, and the
"White Moon" at the South Pole. Lilith is in the Black Moon, and Adam is in the White.

D. In-Depth Information
Initially, the White Moon — containing Adam — fell to Earth. The Black Moon, which
originally should have gone to a different solar system, was captured by Earth's gravity, and,
after it crashed into the Earth's surface and bounced, it became a satellite orbiting the planet. It
left behind only its ruins and remained in the heavens, and Lilith, the Seed that the Black Moon
had carried, was implanted into Earth. Lilith's landing site is believed to have been in the vicinity
of what is now called the South Pole, but it was later moved by tectonic plates, ultimately as far
as the Hakone region of Japan. That site is the giant cavern of Hakone, and the future Nerv
Headquarters would be constructed here.
