Evankhell (에반켈, Ebankel) is a High Ranker known for their extraordinary powers, particularly their ancient flames, which earned them the title 'The Infernal Evankhell.'[2] They were the Ruler of the Second Floor and was ranked #60 but lost their position, resulting in their fall from the Top 100 rankings.
Evankhell is known to be "7m tall"[1] and wearing a military-style outfit, often paired with high-heeled shoes.[5] While in their compressed form, they appears more human-like for convenience. However, their decompressed form reveals their true self as a muscular, monstrous figure. They used to stay decompressed in the Test Floor.
Evankhell is strict, reckless, and driven, often acting on impulse, much like Yuri Zahard. They command respect and fear, as even influential figures like Evan Edrok are wary of them.
According to Hachuling,[6] they possesses extremely high Shinsu resistance. Their ideology values passion and ambition over fear of death or eternal life.
Relationships
Yu Han Sung: Yu Hansung and Evankhell first met in the middle of a skirmish. When Evankhell was on the verge of killing Hansung, they noted that he did not appear to be afraid. Curious about this due to the frightened appearance of their previous victims, Evankhell questioned what Hansung feared. Hansung responded that he, unlike other Rankers, had no delusions of eternal life, so he instead feared the death of his passion for his goals. This answer appealed to Evankhell's ideology, and the two have since had long-standing companionship that leads them to work together on the 2nd Floor.
Twenty-Fifth Baam: Evankhell took notice of Baam during the Last Station fight; intrigued by his use of the Orb technique and his ability to damage an Army Corps Commander of Zahard's Army as a D-Rank. they offered to mentor Baam, helping him train over two years to grow strong enough to avenge his master.

Notes & Trivia
Prior to Evankhell's proper appearance within the story, they were believed to be a man (while Tower of God was still in the Best Challenge of Naver, SIU described Evankhell as being male).[7] SIU does note that even now, it's a little difficult to say that they are perfectly female.[5]
When Evankhell was staying at the Floor of Test, the tests were said to be pretty hellish. It’s something that SIU would like to draw at a later time.[8]
There are almost no scenarios where someone with the power of the ancient like Evankhell is this active. They are very rare, and by their nature are very powerful.[9]
Evankhell's third eye on their forehead, and the design of the ancient, could be inspired by Hindu motifs. The third eye resembles the eye of Shiva, who is the god of destruction. It is mentioned in Hinduism that whenever the third eye opens, it is followed by destruction. It represents primeval powers, unmanifested gods, and the awareness and spiritual strength that comes from opening your chakras and seeing into the beyond. The design of Evankhell's ancient, with the body and Elephant head, is similar to "Ganesh", who is the son of Shiva.
Their outfit design somewhat resembles Cammy from Street Fighter.
They used to be ranked #60,[1][5] but after getting fired from their position as a Ruler, they was demoted to below the Top 100.[3]
Quotes
PART 2
(To Tinker Yolche) "I don't care who you work for. If you people are here to kill my subordinate, then I'll just have to kill you too. So either screw off or die. Those are your two choices."[10]
(To Khul Nissam Kay) "Well, if you're looking for someone strong, you've come to the right person. But I'm a lot stronger than you bargained for. If you want to play with me, send someone else. You're no match for me."[11]
(To Zahard's Army) "The problem with Zahard's Army is they value people's family background too much. The kind of pathetic losers who care about family background or class HAVE NO RIGHT TO STAND ON THE SAME BATTLEFIELD AS ME!!"[2]
(To Zahard's Army) "There's no need for those weak fools to fight me. They should just vanish into flames."[2]
(To Elpathion) "Sorry but I managed to survive from hell. I'm not afraid of death anymore. If anything scares me, it would be this flame being extinguished. If my body were to stop burning, and I wanted to live under someone else's thumb like you people.. that would really be death to me."[12]
(To Yu Han Sung) "You're very strange. Aren't you afraid of dying? Every single ranker I've killed so far has begged me to spare their life. The closer a person thinks they are being immortal, the more they fear death. Some of them even cried like babies. I go around battle just to see them make fools of themselves. What are you afraid of? You're not afraid of death, so I want to know what scares you."[12]
(To Kallavan) "Now I'm finally starting to understand why Hansung has such a high hopes for that kid. I can't believe a D-rank regular managed to hurt one Corps Commander of the Zahard's Army. Can you imagine? What if he comes back to avenge his master after training some more? Think of how much stronger he will be. You made a big mistake today, Kallavan."
(To Twenty-Fifth Baam) "You look so droopy, like a jellyfish in warm shinsu. I haven't seen Urek Mazino myself, but I heard all of the irregulars are like real monsters. You must be a bit different from them."[13]
(To Baam) "You want to get revenge on Kallavan for your master, right? I'll take responsibility for making you stronger. In exchange, you'll have to go through hell for a few years."[13]

(To Kallavan's Servants) "You still have no idea who you're up against, do you?! Do you really think those little toys of yours scare me??"[14]
