Chairman Keel Lorenz is the enigmatic leader of the mysterious Seele organization, and (arguably) the real primary antagonist of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Past

Little is known of the Seele organization, and even less is known about its leader, Chairman Keel. What is known is that Keel was active within Seele's machinations before Second Impact, and was involved along with Gendo in the UN's cover-up of the true nature of the disaster involving Adam and the Katsuragi Expedition.

Through Seele, Keel secretly backed Gehirn and later its successor organization, Nerv in their creation of the Evangelion project.

At some point between Second Impact and 2015, most of Keel's body, below the neck, was replaced with cybernetic implants. Although he uses a visor to see, Keel still possesses eyes (as indicated by production drawings).

Present

Keel is the chairman of the Seele organization, as well as 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). The Committee functions by working through the UN, secretly "pulling the strings" of world governments, apparently running a secret Illuminati-like global power cabal.
