Character Outline
Reila Malkal is the daughter of a Britannian noble family that disagreed with the dated system of rule in the empire, which made them defect to the E.U. as exiles. She was originally an adjutant to Commander Anou in the W-0 Unit during a military operation, but Reila confronted him over the use of Japanese youngsters for suicide attacks and finally removed Anou from his position. It is revealed in episode 1 that she may have a geass power when it looks as if she geassed her commanding officer. The specifics of her geass power are unknown, but it may be that her power commands others to kill.
