Shamsiel (AVANT)

Shamsiel is the Fifth Angel in Evangelion AVANT: First Impression, and is the third one to appear fourteen years after Second Impact; following the arrival of the Fourth Angel, Sachiel. It first appeared in Episode 03, assaulting Tokyo-3 First Municipal Junior High and deploying Angelings in search of an unknown entity. Shamsiel was the closest to initiating Third Impact, but was ultimately forced into hibernation by NERV.

Shamsiel later returns in Episode 04, emerging from its hibernation with a second form (dubbed ' Shamsiel II'), aided by the Third Angel, Iruel, and the Sixth Angel, Ramiel. The Angel is subsequently defeated by Evangelion Unit-10 when Commander Gendo Ikari commands the Evangelion to self-destruct, forcing Ben Robinson to grab the Angel and rocket off into the sky. Unit-10, Ben, and Shamsiel are all killed in the ensuing explosion. However, Shamsiel's Core survived, and was stolen by a berserk Evangelion Unit-08 before NERV could retrieve it.

In the Epilogue, Evangelion Unit-08 consumes Shamsiel's Core and gains the Fruit of Life.
