Eve is a major character and antagonist in NieR:Automata and NieR:Automata Ver1.1a. He is the younger twin brother of Adam.

Story: NieR:Automata After defeating the newly born Adam in Chapter 03, 2B and 9S watch as Eve climbs out of Adam's puncture wounds. A naked and long-haired Eve then goes berserk, causing the surrounding terrain to collapse. 2B and 9S flee as Eve carries Adam in his arms and vanishes in the debris. As the game progresses, Adam and Eve begin wearing clothes in order to emulate humans. However, unlike Adam, who would later wear a white dress shirt, Eve chooses to remain topless.

Endings: flowers for m[A]chines: Following his brother's defeat, Eve goes berserk and attacks 2B and 9S. After nearly being defeated, he uses the lifeforce of the remaining machine lifeforms connected to the network to continue his onslaught. 9S hacks into Eve to make an attempt at removing his object control function. During his time inside Eve, 9S is infected by his corruption but ultimately succeeds in incapacitating Eve. Eve kneels before 2B in defeat, calling out to his brother one last time. 2B stabs him in the head, killing him. According to the strategy guide, Eve's body was destroyed via laser by Pod 042 and Pod 153, under the former's orders.

During his time inside Eve, 9S is infected by his corruption but ultimately succeeds in incapacitating Eve. When 9S reaches the end of Eve's labyrinth, he sees a giant house containing figments of Adam and Eve sitting across each other. Eve tells Adam that while he enjoyed fighting, he never wanted anything to happen to him. Eve kneels before 2B in defeat, calling out to his brother one last time. 2B stabs him in the head, killing him. According to the strategy guide, Eve's body was destroyed via laser by Pod 042 and Pod 153, under the former's orders. meaningless [C]ode As the tower is destroyed by A2, Eve is presumably destroyed along with it.

chil[D]hood's end: As 9S is dying, he sees the Red Girls on the Ark, having decided to stop their plans of ending humanity. The reformed consciousnesses of both Adam and Eve are also present on the Ark, free of any malice or hate towards the Androids. Eve sleeps in Adam's embrace and the latter invites 9S to join them (player dependent). They, along with the memories of the machine lifeforms, fire off in the Ark to explore new worlds.

the [E]nd of YoRHa: Depending on which Ending is achieved before Ending E (either C or D), Eve either wanders in space in the Ark with the other machine lifeforms in hopes of finding a new world, or is completely wiped out by A2.

Personality: Eve is shown to be simple-minded and childish, preferring not to think and question matters too deeply if he believes it's unnecessary to do so. Unlike Adam, who is a curious and studious intellectual, Eve expresses little interest in pursuing knowledge and would rather engage in physical activities. Eve is also emotionally volatile, easily giving into rage. He deeply loves Adam and is very protective of him, thinking of him as his "everything." He does anything Adam says, even if it's something he's personally against. In the light novel, it's revealed that Eve doesn't mind if Adam doesn't "play" with him, despite his outward disappointment. The reason he suggests they "play" is because he knows that Adam is interested in humanity—and by "play" he's suggesting him an Adam do regular "human" activities. Eve does not care about what he wants as long as Adam is fine with a decision or decides for him. When 9S hacks into Eve, it is revealed that the only thing Eve truly cares about is not losing Adam, and that he wants them to be able to relax in a quiet place together. After Adam's death, Eve is overcome by grief and swears to kill everyone—his heightened emotions also causing the networked machines to go berserk. Before him, 2B, and 9S do battle, he is shown crying about the loss of his brother.

Gameplay: Route A: Eve is fought for the first time in Chapter 05. He attacks with kicks infused with golden energy and deploys shields and projectile barriers, which he follows up with powerful counterattacks. Eve can teleport around the battlefield and strike from behind, and is also capable of regenerating with full health if he is defeated before the dialogue finishes. Eve is encountered again Chapter 10 as the final boss of Route A. This time he encases his arms in machine debris which he uses to attack the player. Once he levitates, the player must climb debris platforms to close the distance. During the final moments of the battle, close combat is disabled so he can only be attacked by Pod fire.

Route B: Eve is fought only once in this route as the final boss during Chapter 10. The fight is similar to Route A, although this time defeating him requires hacking into his system in order to disconnect him from the network. While hacking him, Eve frequently launches a burst of multiple balls of energy, not unlike that of a regular hacking mini game.

Intel Description: Chapter 03 — This unit has achieved an unusual level of evolution among machine lifeforms, as it possesses a strong resemblance to androids. It first appeared after splitting off from another machine.

Chapter 05 — Eve was again encountered in the alien mothership. He has the ability to regenerate no matter how many times he is killed, and adores the unit known as Adam—who he thinks of as an older brother.

Chapter 10 — After going mad with rage over the loss of Adam, Eve gained the ability to unleash powerful attacks with an arm clad in debris. Thanks to the desperate hacking work of 9S, he was eventually separated from the network and killed.
