;Lelouch's Geass

{{main|Lelouch Lamperouge}}

:Lelouch's Geass manifests itself as "the power of absolute obedience," which allows him to plant commands within a person's mind upon direct eye contact. He is granted this ability through his contract with C.C. at the start of the series. Activation of the Geass is visually represented by the manifestation of a Geass sigil in his left eye. Commands dictated in this state are written into the minds of the designated targets once the sigil projects from his eye to theirs. The ability cannot influence the same individual twice.<ref name="novel2" /><ref name="offweb-settings" /> Lelouch could initially toggle Geass activation at will, but subsequently loses this control to an affliction known as {{nihongo|Geass runaway|ギアス[[wiktionary:暴走|暴走]]|giasu bouzou}}.<ref name="novel5" /> In the second season, C.C. gives Lelouch a contact lens that blocks his Geass. She indicates that his Geass will continue to grow in strength, and that the lens will eventually be rendered ineffective.
