Human Instrumentality Committee

The Human Instrumentality Committee is apparently the inner circle of Seele, which directly oversees the progress of Nerv, officially in the name of the United Nations (which it actually controls). The Instrumentality Committee is composed of five members, and is also headed by Chairman Keel Lorenz. All meetings of the Committee are held by video conference. Unlike meetings of the full Seele council, video conferences of the Committee actually show images of all members. Only Keel is actually assigned a name in the series; the other Committee members are only designated by the shaded color of their video conferencing image.

The five members of the Committee each "represent" a different country (maintaining the public facade that they are a subcommittee of the UN):

• Germany - Chairman Keel
• France - Yellow
• Russia - Blue
• United States of America - Green
• United Kingdom - Red

Notes
