"Your blade… It did not cut deep enough."

— Egil

Egil (Japanese: エギル, Egiru; English dub: /ˈɛɡᵻl/) is an antagonist of 异度神剑. He is a Machina, the 领导 of the Mechon army, creator of the Faced Mechon, and the 杀戮之影 behind their invasion of Bionis. Miqol says that he was kind and helpful towards the poor and brave before he swore revenge against Bionis. Egil also proves to be very strong, for at the battle at Agniratha, Shulk stabs him and it does not appear to have any effect. He then picks up Shulk by the face and 吸引 the Monado from his 肩.

Story

Prior to 异度神剑

As a Machina, Egil has a very long lifespan, and he existed before the quarrel of Bionis and Mechonis. As with most Machina he was a worshipper of Meyneth. He was friends with a Giant, Arglas, with whom he discussed the idea of leaving the world of Bionis and Mechonis in search of new worlds. He was witness to the possession of Arglas by Zanza and his attack on Agniratha using 特雷西亚. After the end of the attack, he vowed to destroy Zanza in revenge of his friend and his kinsmen. To this end, he repaired Mechonis' missing arm, established Agniratha as his base of operations, and used the Mechon to attack Bionis in an attempt to reduce Zanza's regeneration rate. He expected the reawakening of Meyneth. The surviving Machina gathered to stop Egil, but their efforts were ineffective and many died. 其它 than Egil, the Machina evacuated Agniratha in favour of the Fallen Arm.

Attacks on Bionis

Egil's early attacks annihilated all Homs Colonies except 6 and 9. The 对立 ended at the Battle of Sword Valley, where the Mechon force was stopped by Dunban with the Monado. Egil was now forced to create soldiers resistant to the Monado's power. Although he suffered a crippling defeat, he emerged from the war with the inspiration that would lead him to create Faced Mechon, by transplanting captured Homs into a Mechon unit.

Using the first Face Mechon, Egil attacked Colony 9 with Metal Face and Colony 6 with Xord. Colony 6 was destroyed with few people escaping to the camp on Bionis' Leg. Colony 9 受到了保护 by use of the Monado, despite Metal Face's presence.

At Valak Mountain, Egil makes his first appearance inside his own Mechon, Yaldabaoth. He comes with several Mass-Produced Faces and Metal Face to collect Face 世界BOSS. After collecting her, he departs and the party follows.

Mechonis

The party meets Egil at the bottom of Galahad Fortress. Before the fight, he deactivates the Monado using the Apocrypha Generator, which emits opposing 以太 waves. He is able to 魂控 Face 世界BOSS, but Fiora's conscious pleads with Meyneth, who is piloting, to break free of Egil's 魂控 and save Shulk. Meyneth succeeds in a suicidal attack that destroys most of Galahad Fortress and greatly damages 世界BOSS. Egil survives the destruction of Galahad Fortress in Yaldabaoth, and recognises Meyneth's return.

In the Central Factory, Egil reflects about the Face Mechon. He now thinks that Faces are flawed as they retain their memories and free will. Mumkhar proves an example of this weakness. To correct this, he finds a worthy Face unit in Jade Face, and strips him of his memories and free will.

At Meyneth Shrine, Egil awaits the party. Vanea tries to reason with him before they arrive, but to no avail. After revealing the reason for waging war against the people of Bionis, Egil confronts the party without Yaldabaoth. Shulk tries to reason with him having stabbed him with the Monado but Egil brushes Shulk off and summons Yaldabaoth. He rejects Meyneth, claiming that "she sides with his sworn 敌人," and prepares to destroy the whole city. Gadolt sacrifices himself in order to 盾 the party from this attack. Egil then enters the Mechonis Core and is able to 魂控 the Mechonis using the 以太 extracted from the Bionis, in a last attempt to destroy Bionis.

Mechonis' Awakening

As the party approaches the Core, Egil gains more 魂控 of the Mechonis. The party fight their way down to the 魂控 room, where Egil shows that he is now controlling Mechonis from within Yaldabaoth. After a certain amount of damage is dealt, a story quest is activated. In 120 seconds (2 minutes), the three Energy Devices around him must be destroyed, or the party will be killed instantaneously, because Egil attacks Bionis. After the fight, Shulk beheads Egil's Mechon. Just as Shulk is going to kill Egil, Zanza's voice starts encouraging revenge. However, Shulk's recent memories and his own will interfere with his desire for retribution, and he does not kill Egil. Shulk asks for a truce between the two worlds. Egil remembers the peace there once was between Mechonis and Bionis, finally understanding Lady Meyneth's wish, and slowly agrees - and then Shulk is shot in the back.

Egil recognizes Dickson as Zanza's disciple and tries to attack Zanza as he awakens from Shulk's body, but Egil is weak from the previous battle, and Yaldabaoth is maimed in the process. Meyneth manages to stop Zanza from killing the party but is destroyed in the process, and when Zanza teleports away Egil decides to stay in the Core. As they escape from Zanza aboard 垃圾, Egil uses Mechonis as a 盾 so they can escape. Zanza retaliates and destroys Mechonis; Egil is killed in the attack.
