Name: Bardiel, the Thirteenth Angel, The Thirteenth Apostle (In supplementary material)
Origin: Evangelion

Gender: Unknown
Classification: Angel/Apostle, Child of Adam
Powers and Abilities: Angel Physiology (Standard to an unknown extent normally, Evangelion while possessing Unit-03) plus Self-Sustenance (Types 2 and 3 - Is seen functioning without the need of an Umbilical Cable, which suggests the presence of an S² Engine), Explosion Manipulation (Caused an explosion by awakening), Enhanced Senses (Was able to find the hiding locations of Unit-00 and Unit-02), Possession (Took over Unit-03, and was about to take over Unit-00's nerve ganglia through the use of an infectious ooze), Body Control & Elasticity (Can extend its arms to great lengths)
Attack Potency: Unknown normally, Mountain level while possessing Unit-03 (Rapidly defeated Unit-02 and Unit-00. Harmed Unit-01, although the latter's pilot was refusing to fight and made quick work of Bardiel once piloted by the Dummy System), Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (A.T. Fields can be used offensively to bypass those of others)
Speed: Unknown normally, Supersonic movement speed with FTL+ combat speed and reactions (Should be comparable to other Eva Units due to having the same body as them. Blitzed Unit-02 and Unit-00)
Lifting Strength: Unknown normally, Class M while possessing Unit-03 (Can ragdoll other Evas)
Striking Strength: Unknown normally, Mountain level while possessing Unit-03
Durability: Unknown normally, Mountain level while possessing Unit-03, Large Mountain level with A.T. Field (An A.T.

Notable Attacks/Techniques
(S² = Super Solenoid Engine; also known as the "Fruit of Life"): An elusive double-helical organ, traditionally possessed by only Adam and its progeny, the Angels. This "engine" organ is responsible for the perpetual energy supply that the Angels can utilize, along with the vast majority of their exotic physiological powers (including levitation, regeneration and energy-projection). Appears to be the key to inverting "A.T. Fields" and projecting an "Anti A.T. Field" also, as well as accessing the "Dirac sea".
- A.T. Field: The intangible light of the soul in the physical world, A.T. Fields are possessed by all living beings on NGE-Earth and are one of the major aspects of the human psyche that defines someone as "individual" and "protect" them from the intrusion of another's feelings. However, the Evangelion Units and the Angels are unique in the ability to generate A.T. Fields that are corporeal and occasionally visible to the naked eye, possibly due to large amounts of innate energy contained in their souls. Their "A.T. Fields mostly function as a physical defence: a forcefield consisting of concentric octagonal yellow lines. The barrier is almost perfect, only being temporarily disrupted from its active state by incredibly energetic weapons or erosion by another corporeal A.T. Field that is superior in strength. If left alone after initial disruption, the A.T. Field will revive its durability almost instantly as long as the user is still alive, making it a regenerative barrier. The transition from a dormant A.T. Field to an active Field is indicated by a slight atmospheric blurring.[1]
- Regeneration: Angels possess a healing factor, able to regenerate from relatively large wounds thanks to the S² Engine in their cores and as long as it is intact they can hypothetically regenerate from complete bodily destruction. Their regeneration has a limit however, since as previously mentioned, the S² Engine is responsible for regeneration, if this organ is significantly damaged, it will cancel the regeneration, killing the angel.
Possession: Bardiel has the ability to take over the bodies of Eva Units, shown when it takes over the body of Unit-03 after coming into contact with into a cloud, and when it attempted to take over Unit-00 using an infectious ooze. It's possession over Unit-03 seems to have enhanced its capabilities, as it now can extend its arms to well over twice the length of an Evangelion, and ability to pinpoint the locations of a hiding Unit-00 and Unit-00.
