The German word 'Kiel' means 'keel' in English and is also the name of the capital city of the German Federal State of Schleswig-Holstein. However, due to the proliferation of 'Keel' in canonical materials, this spelling is used. The word 'Kiel' however is pronounced almost exactly like its English counterpart. It should be 'Kiel', as 'Keel', in German. Lorenz's first name, 'Keel', is actually spelled incorrectly.Lorenz is best known for his work in the field of animals psychology.

Originally, his name was actually going to be 'Konrad Lorenz'. Keel was named for both the ship part and the Austrian biologist Konrad Lorenz.He prays for the peaceful unification of all souls before Fuyutsuki turns him off. Keel accepts his death with dignity, saying that their wish will be fulfilled. As the Monoliths are turned off one by one by Fuyutsuki, while Gendo thanks SEELE for their guidance of humanity. Keel's monolith appears in Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo, being silent during his first appearance. Keel does not physically appear in the Rebuild continuity, but is represented as a monolith in Evangelion 1.0 it is not until Evangelion 2.0 that he is credited by name. Sadamoto's manga depicts SEELE as having been around for centuries. You can help the Neon Genesis Evangelion Wiki by expanding it. When the organic components of his body became LCL, the remaining mechanical components were left behind, and appear to include most of his spinal column.

Although he uses a visor to see, Keel still possesses eyes (as indicated by production drawings). Through SEELE, Keel secretly backed Gehirn and later its successor organization, NERV in their creation of the Evangelion project.Īt some point between Second Impact and 2015, most of Keel's body, below the neck, was replaced with cybernetic implants. What is known for certain is that Keel was active within SEELE's machinations before Second Impact, and was involved along with Gendo in the United Nations' cover-up of the true nature of the disaster involving Adam and the Katsuragi Expedition. Little is known of the SEELE organization, and even less is known about its leader, Chairman Keel, who also serves as the head of the Human Instrumentality Committee, the five-man subgroup of SEELE which directly oversees NERV's Evangelion project (as well as their secret Human Instrumentality Project), and functions by working through the UN, secretly pulling the strings of world governments. He is the enigmatic leader of the mysterious SEELE organization. I will be praying that Unit-01 will accomplish its task.Ĭhairman Keel Lorenz ( キール・ローレンツ ) is a fictional character from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise.
