Profile: Gendo is the commander of NERV. With his cold, calculating personality, and his seeming lack of desire for human contact, he has carved a path to achieve his goals by using and manipulating people. His coldness even extends to his own son, Shinji, who he abandoned at a young age. As a result, Shinji has hated him ever since. However, Gendo has had considerable success as the commander of NERV and has made great strides in accomplishing its purpose. He follows the orders of SEELE, the ruling organization that NERV reports to, but he has his own agenda as well. Gendo calls Shinji back only to get him to pilot EVA-01 against an Angel attack, which, due to the injuries to Rei, he is forced to do. Gendo's only semblance of emotion seems to concern Rei, who he treats even better than Shinji.
