Iruel (AVANT)

Iruel is the Third Angel in Evangelion AVANT: First Impression, and the first one to appear fourteen years after Second Impact. It first appeared in the Prologue of the campaign, and primarily acted as a background force throughout the campaign until Episode 04; where it makes a brief appearance.

After killing Shinji Ikari, the Third Child, in the Prologue, Iruel is captured by NERV and transported to Bethany Base in England. The Angel resides there under intense experimentation until the Sixth Angel, Ramiel's attack on Bethany Base; wherein Evangelion Provisional Unit-05 is sortied against both Iruel and Ramiel. Iruel escapes and makes an attempt to attack NERV HQ in the following episode, before being scared off.

Iruel's corpse can be seen outside of NERV HQ at the beginning of the Epilogue, implying its third arrival and subsequent defeat before the events of the Epilogue. It was defeated by Evangelion Unit-06 in a UN-controlled operation. Iruel's corpse is later transformed into the AAA Wunder.

Second Impact
Iruel was given a soul by Adam, the First Angel, during Second Impact. It resided on the planet Mars until it awakened in 2015.

It is implied that Iruel intended to perform a full-frontal assault with the aid of Ramiel and Shamsiel II. However, this does not come to fruition as a berserk Unit-01 bites down on Iruel and the two are locked in-combat. The Angel rises through the clouds and the two can no longer be seen.
