ADV DVD Volume 8 Bios Panel

Young Asuka

Asuka Langley Sohryu did not have the happiest of childhoods. While she was still young, her mother was institutionalized after the stress of working with the Evangelions caused her to lose touch with reality. After her mother's suicide, Asuka was raised by a grandmother who instructed her to never cry, creating the hard, brash Asuka who became an Eva pilot.

Seventeenth Angel 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.

Second Angel Lilith

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.
