## Appearance

48 years old, Gendo has an appearance of a typical middle-aged man. He has a hair shape similar to Shinji's, but grows a lion's mane. His usual attire is an E.D.E.N black commander's uniform with gold lines sewn on the edges of the jacket, and green triangular identification pieces sewn at the sleeves and the necklace. Beneath the uniform, Gendo wears a red sweater. Other than his commander uniform, he rarely wears other outfits.

Gendo wears a pair of white gloves to conceal his severely-burnt hands caused by an exposure to Sakuradite Volcanic Heat. Gendo also wears a pair of round-shaped-lenses glasses with a red or brown filter, which reflects light on large screens.

## Personality

Gendo is highly different and yet similar to his personality in both the Rebuild of Evangelion and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

When it comes to his work, he'd do anything to achieve his goal, 'through hook, crook, fair or foul'. Though when it comes to his family, especially Shinji; he is far kinder and softer around his wife and son. He also seems to get along very with Ornstein and his side of the family. (Though this is probably due to the Excalibur's influence on Gendo's Soul.)

## Character History

### Code Geass: Principality of Oceania

Gendo only appears during a phone call with Ornstein, of which the two discuss his son, Shinji Ikari. Gendo states that if his son is hurt; there will be hell to pay. Ornstein assures Gendo that his son will not be harmed or killed under his watch.

### Code Geass: Lelouch of The Timeskip

He first appears during the collection of Samples after Adam's Awakening in Africa; better known as the **Second Impact**. He receives a call from Ryoji Kaji, an E.D.E.N field operative, that E.D.E.N are not allowed to touch Lake Victoria or the land surrounding it. It is viewed as Contractor Sacred Land.

He appears later on in the movie in E.D.E.N's Main Headquarters located at the roof of the Geofront. It is here that Gendo is seen watching over Evangelion Unit-14 as it was being constructed. Ornstein soon joins him and wanted to know how construction of the E.D.E.N Spark, an experimental Lightning Gun, was going. Ornstein also told Gendo of the ability to cure Yui (Gendo's Wife) of her heart problems caused by contamination of the Second Impact. That cure could be done via The Excalibur.

## Abilities

### Excalibur

Gendo's Soul is linked to the Excalibur (much like how Ornstein's Soul is linked to the Dragonslayer Spear). Due to this, Gendo can summon the Excalibur to him at any time, however, he can also use many of the Excalibur's known abilities without the sword being physically present; this cannot be done with the Dragonslayer Spear, as the Spear must be physically present to use its abilities. The use of Excalibur's abilities, makes Gendo akin to that of God himself. He is also capable to use the Sword and its abilities even when piloting the Alymere or Evangelion Unit-14. The sword's other functions are also near-identical to that of the Rings of The Winter's Order. Allowing him to do Quests, and morph the Excalibur into different Melee Weapons; he can also summon Ranged Weapons to his other hand if he has the sword on him. Due to this, it is possible Gendo created the Rings of The Winter's Order in a similar fashion to Excalibur.

### Ornstein's Spear

Much like how Ornstein can summon the Excalibur freely, Gendo can do the same with the Dragonslayer Spear. This allows Gendo to technologically upgrade many things, and even heal others with the spear, or inflict permanent damage or disease onto the target. Unlike the Excalibur, The Dragonslayer Spear does not have named commands and you must *think* of the command you wish to issue before stabbing the spear into something (or someone). The Spear will sometimes activate an A.T Field around itself to repel the command Gendo tries to make with the Spear, this is either because the Spear is incapable of doing said command, or because it is the wrong command for the object, machine or person.

### Angel Code

Once Ornstein had infused the Excalibur with Arael's Code; the Sword could now use the Angel Code's Abilities freely and it is even capable of curing Angelic Contamination. This would also allow Gendo to give others a Geass or the Code of Immortality. He could even bestow Code and Geass onto himself (since Excalibur's Power makes the Code even stronger. Like a Super Code).

### Physical

Gendo's Physical, although not present in appearance is completely off-the-charts. This is due to Gendo's ability to efficiently use the powers of Excalibur but also the fact that Gendo gains Power Level from 'Quests' that the sword gives him; highly similar to the Rings of The Winter's Order. By the time of the End of Evangelion, he is the third strongest Man on Earth.
