A small council room, seen from above. Ikari, along with five other men.
Shin-seiki: Well, here they are: the true villains of this story (though the true depth of their ruthlessness and depravity only becomes apparent towards the end…). This is Seele, or, to be more precise, the Instrumentality Committee, to which Gendo answers directly.
Sharp-kun: The committee are the "respectable" arm of Seele. They deal with all the annoying things like the UN, etc., while Seele itself remains in the shadows.
Reichu: Except for Keel Lorenz, of course… (He doesn't seem to say much at these committee meetings, though.) With the exception of him, none of these dirty old men are ever named, but, thanks to production drawings, we at least we know their respective countries of origin:
A/green = United States
B/yellow = France
C/red = United Kingdom
D/blue = Russia
Shin-seiki: Keel, of course, represents Germany.
thewayneiac: In the closing credits for the French language version on ADV's original DVDs, they are billed as Messieurs Vert (Green), Jaune (Yellow), Rouge (Red), and Bleu (Blue).
Reichu: You know, these guys really need actual names. How about we call them Teddy, Pierre, Nigel, and Vladimir? ::D Now, we just need some naval vessels from the appropriate nations...
