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 United Nations' 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.
Notes
- Keel was named for both the ship part and the Austrian biologist Konrad Lorenz. Originally, his name was actually going to be "Konrad Lorenz".
- Lorenz's first name, "Keel", is actually spelled incorrectly. It should be "Kiel", as "Keel", in German, would be pronounced like "Kayl". However, due to the proliferance of "Keel" in canonical materials, this spelling is used.
- Keel's age is unknown, although he appears to be no more than in his seventies in the Second Impact coverup photograph. He has visibly aged in the subsequent 15 years, but it's uncertain if the reception of extensive cybernetic implants has prevented him from aging as much as he otherwise would have. The Proposal provides Keel's (or Konrad's, rather) age as 67, although there is no way to know if this carried through to the final show.
