Рей Аянами
Concluding that Nerv's defeat is inevitable, Gendo retrieves Evangelion pilot Rei Ayanami. He plans to use her to initiate the Third Impact, a cataclysm that will kill everyone on Earth and reunite him with his deceased wife, Yui. Attempting to stop him, Nerv scientist Ritsuko Akagi sends a computer command to destroy Nerv. Casper, a computer core modeled on Ritsuko's mother's aspect as a woman, overrides her command, and Gendo shoots and kills her.
