ANGEL 6 - GAGHIEL
The sixth angel to face humanity, and the first angel since adam, to atack outside
the limits of Japan, also known as the patron angel of fish. The angel Gaghiel is an
angel whos role and place in the scripture is quite small. Other than the angel of fish,
it is the angelic guard of the 6th heaven, however the importance of being a guardian of
the sixth heaven, to the scripture, seems very unclear. All the more the relevance of this
fact to the evangelion series is rather unimportant. However, this angel is still quite a
formitable opponent to the UN fleet and NERV. Gaghiel first appears in episode 8 Asuka strikes!

As with all the ocean born angels, its beginning are unclear, just showing up on sonar by the
UN fleet that was transporting evangelion unit 02, Asuka Langley Sohryu, Kaji Ryouji (who had the
adam emryo in his posession), aswell as the visiting Misato Katsuragi, Shinji Ikari and his two
school friends. The reason for teh attack on teh fleet could be a number of things, possibly the
adam embryo, the evangelion or a few others, however this was never really known. Like both
ocean born angels before it, it posessed a moderate AT-field, however, unlike those before it,
this was the first (and only) angel, truly designed like a fish, designed to swim. Approprite,
since this angel was the patron angel for fish.
Its attack was very sudden, giving the fleet little time to react. It had no means of attack
other than to swim up to the ship and attack them with its sheer weight. Ramming, landing on top of
and biting the fleet, it sank ship after ship of the fleet. However the anxious Asuka Langley Sohryu,
this being her first chance to face an angel and prove herself, activated evangelion unit 02 (on her own)
taking Shinji with her. A plan was quickly devised to sink two ships to enter the open mouth of the angel,
and on remote, dedonate inside the angel. Despite some trouble with the angel and disagreement of the
two arguing pilots, the angel's mouth was held open, the ships dedonated, making short work of the angel.
