Template:Info Evangelion Mark.06 (エヴァンゲリオン６号機, Evangelion Rokugouki) is an Evangelion unit that first appears in unfinished form in Evangelion 1.0 and is sortied in the next film, piloted by Kaworu Nagisa.

Profile

Mark.06 was constructed at Nerv's lunar 7th Branch, Tabgha Base. It initially appears unfinished, with its body covered in a rubbery white material, and a purple mask bearing the mark of Seele and two stylized "crying eyes" covering its face. The morphology of the head and neck is very similar to Lilith, although the more defined body, along with what appears to be a core visible beneath the fabric, is closer to a normal Evangelion. An IV-like device labeled "BTB" is connected to the Eva's left arm.

Later, the white cover is removed and the Eva undergoes the process of outfitting. The exposed skin on the head is dark gray. The mask remains affixed to the face, but the part over the eyes has been cut away. What looks like a temporary covering is held over the eyes as the helmet is readied for application, as though to avoid "gazing upon the face of God".

During their reconnaissance to Tabgha Base, Gendo and Fuyutsuki observe that the Eva's construction process is unusual (though it isn't specified how), and that Seele have constructed it in secret to advance their own hidden agenda according to Dead Sea Scrolls Apocrypha. Keel Lorenz refers to the Mark.06 as "the true Evangelion", to play a role in fulfilling the covenant with Lilith. Fuyutsuki takes this to mean that Seele "want to create a real god, not just false ones".

Features

The final armored Mark.06 is a deep blue with yellow trim. The horned helmet, which bears a strong resemblance to Eva-01's, has a red visor covering the eye holes. The entry plug appears to be designed to provide a noticeably higher field-of-vision for the pilot. The Eva can levitate while bearing an Angelic halo while under pilot control, which—in addition to the dialogue between Seele, Gendo, and Fuyutsuki—hints at extremely potent capabilities. Mark.06 lacks an outlet for an external power source, implying an internal source of motive power.

Operational History

Mark.06 is secretly sortied from the Moon as the 10th Angel appears outside Tokyo-3. Later, Mark.06 strikes Eva-01 from the air with an unknown type of Spear, putting an end to Third Impact.

The preview for Eva 3.0 says that Mark.06 "descends to Dogma" and shows it levitating down a large shaft, reminiscent of Kaworu descending with Eva-02 in Episode 24 of the original series. This and the accompanying caption (KEEP OUT: LILITH PRESERVATION SITE: ACCESS STRICTLY RESTRICTED) suggest that Mark.06 will attempt to reach Lilith, perhaps to initiate the Second Angel's "resurrection", which Seele say is required to fulfill the covenant.
