| '''Miang Hawwa''' is the main antagonist and the mastermind behind all the events in the [[Xenogears]] timeline. She appears repeatedly throughout the game's events in opposition to the party, both behind the scenes and in direct confrontations, Miang acts as representative of [[Deus]], an intergalactic bioweapon designed to conduct warfare on a planetary scale. The final moments of the [[Eldridge catastrophe]] resulted in the creation of the original 'mother' being, tasked by the Deus system to give birth to an entire civilization that would provide and gather all the biological and mechanical "spare parts" it needed to repair and reactivate. Hawwa is the Arabic name of Eve. Myyah (the official romanization according to Perfect Works) is almost the reverse of [[Elly]]'s full name (Elhaym), with the omitted 'El' being Hebrew and meaning 'God', symbolizing how she is connected to but different from that character. | **Miang Hawwa** is the main antagonist and the mastermind behind all the events in the [[Xenogears]] timeline.

| One of the few humans that Deus gave birth to, Miang's first incarnation was known as Hawwa, ''The Complement''. Hawwa's purpose was to guide and shape the events of human history to better suit the coming resurrection of Deus. All human women descended from the crash of the Eldridge, all inhabiting the planet the game takes place on, possess the genetic factor necessary to become the next incarnation of Miang. When the current one dies, Miang simply awakens in a new body. The target seems to be randomly selected, but she always inhabits the body of an adult female, and the momentary transformation always results in purple hair and blue eye color. The only notable superhuman abilities she possesses are the ability to retain memory across incarnations and some considerable psionic abilities, strong enough to cleanly "reprogram" someone's subconscious to perform a chosen task, though for the most part she prefers working in the shadows to manipulate world events. This is evidenced by her sparse participation in battles in a mostly supportive role, usually piloting her [[C-1 Vierge]]. | One of the few humans that Deus gave birth to, Miang's first incarnation was known as Hawwa, ''The Complement''.

| Deus activated biological computer [[Kadomony]], generating the first mother being in response to [[Abel]]'s contact with the [[Wave Existence]] shortly before planetfall. This original being emerges from the wreckage and gives birth to Miang, Elly, [[Cain]] and the [[Gazel Ministry]], then returns to Kadomony's stasis pod where the being slowly rots over the next several thousand years. Miang begins her mission to supplement Deus' plans. | Deus activated biological computer [[Kadomony]], generating the first mother being in response to [[Abel]]'s contact with the [[Wave Existence]] shortly before planetfall.

| Miang awakens in a pair of identical twin sisters, using their connection to her advantage to conduct espionage within the [[Zeboim]] government. Upon finding out that a nano-engineer named Kim is working on a way to repair the genetic breakdown causing infertility in the vast majority of Zeboim citizens, she commissions [[Kim Kaseem]] to continue his work. However, when he moves to secure his creation for himself, she sends an assault team to requisition it and kill anyone in their way. Miang influences events to accelerate the death of the civilization so that humanity can 'reset' to a form more desirable for Deus, resulting in nuclear annihilation of the entire Zeboim civilization, which then sinks to the bottom of the [[Aquvy]] sea. | Miang awakens in a pair of identical twin sisters, using their connection to her advantage to conduct espionage within the [[Zeboim]] government.

| Unable to locate the current incarnation of the -[[Contact]]-, Miang cooperates with [[Krelian]] to clone an artificial -Contact- using [[Emperor Cain]]'s DNA. The clone, which would later become [[Kahran Ramsus]], gains awareness before even being born and develops an inferiority complex soon thereafter. | Unable to locate the current incarnation of the -[[Contact]]-, Miang cooperates with [[Krelian]] to clone an artificial -Contact- using [[Emperor Cain]]'s DNA.

| Miang dies of old age, and awakens in [[Karen Wong]], [[Fei Fong Wong]]'s mother, and uses her new position to conduct battery after battery of torturous experiments on Fei while his father is away, resulting in the inadvertent creation of [[Id]]. Miang stands by passively while [[Grahf]] attacks [[Khan Wong]], triggering a spontaneous release of Fei's power. Karen regains control momentarily, long enough to throw herself in front of her son to save his life, and is mortally wounded in the process. Fei recedes into the "[[Coward]]" personality, shielding himself by displacing the tragedy and horror of these events onto his alter-ego, Id, who remains the dominant personality for the rest of his teenage years under Grahf's destructive tutelage. | Miang dies of old age, and awakens in [[Karen Wong]], [[Fei Fong Wong]]'s mother, and uses her new position to conduct battery after battery of torturous experiments on Fei while his father is away, resulting in the inadvertent creation of [[Id]].

| Miang reawakens in a new host body, apparently in her early twenties, and begins to court Kahran Ramsus in order to gain power within the [[Gebler]] faction on [[Solaris]]. She begins to separate Ramsus from his close-knit friends in the [[ex-elements|Elements]] group to have tighter control over him. As Ramsus rises to power, Miang stations herself quietly behind him. | Miang reawakens in a new host body, apparently in her early twenties, and begins to court Kahran Ramsus in order to gain power within the [[Gebler]] faction on [[Solaris]].

| '''Final Chapter''' | ===Final Chapter=== |
| |
| Miang is cut down by Ramsus in front of the newly activated Deus. The party witnesses her reawakening in Elly, who explains humanity's purpose relative to Deus shortly before being absorbed into its core. Deus utilizes its newly acquired [[Anima Relics]] and Krelian's [[nanotechnology]] to ascend to a higher, more advanced form than its original design was capable of, and climbs into orbit in an attempt to resume its journey. Fei gives pursuit in [[xenogears gear|Xenogears]], the only Gear left operational after the destruction of the [[Zohar Modifier]], and battles with Miang in her final incarnation, that of the [[Urobolus]]. After Fei had successfully defeated her in this form, she had then ceased to exist. Once Miang is eradicated for good, Krelian is convinced of Fei's point of view and resigns from his original mission, opting instead to walk the Path of Sephirot and travel to the higher dimension from which the Wave Existence originated, leaving Fei and Elly to return to the planet in the Xenogears. The chains of fate are broken, and Fei and Elly become the final incarnations of their eternally returning personas, with the memories and experiences of all their past selves incorporated into them. | Miang is cut down by Ramsus in front of the newly activated Deus.
