>>3159743I don't really consider him one.
He has good intentions, but his plans have failed in both NGE and NTE, and he's more of a Ikuni's insert than is Anno's (or Satsukawa's, for that matter).
In the other hand, the only person that's not creepied out by/wary of him is actually Shinji, and scenes like
>>3159735 where he shows great sport skills and the like never made it into the final product.
