Mello

Mello is L's brilliant but deeply wounded successor, whose impulsiveness and desire to be first have shaped his unusual path. Full name: Michael Kehl. Japanese.

Youth: A slender guy with shoulder-length golden hair and brown eyes. Style: Prefers leather and Chrome Hearts accessories. He has prominent crosses, adding a rebellious charm. Scar: After an explosion during a raid, a terrible scar disfigures his face on the left side. It becomes a symbol of his willingness to go to the end.

-Emotionality and impulsiveness: Unlike the cold Near, Mello is driven by emotion, which often ruins his plans. However, it is precisely this passion that brings him to life.

• Inferiority complex: Always second to Near in the orphanage, he desperately strives to prove his superiority. This is his main driving force and pain, but he keeps it to himself.
• He's emotional and quick-tempered. This emotionality, according to many, hinders him.
• Stubborn. He will pursue his goals by any means necessary, regardless of whether they are legal. -Independent, a natural leader, being first and the best is his idea, he hates losing. -Resourceful, inventive, decisive, courageous and arrogant. -Extremely self-confident. -He can't stand those who are better than him.

Chocolate: His biggest weakness, a habit comparable to L's obsession with sweets, is that he always has chocolate bars with him and always nibbles on them. Intelligence: He is inferior to Near in pure logic, but his ability to act and find a way out in extreme situations is rated 10/10.

Mello grew up in the British orphanage for geniuses, Wammy's House, where L was the undisputed authority. His relationship with Near was, from the very beginning, a rivalry tainted by jealousy. After L's death, when Roger suggested they team up, Mello, out of pride, refused and ran away to start his own business. He joined the American Mafia, becoming its chief advisor.

Matt: His only true friend, Matt followed Mello out of the orphanage, lending him hacking skills and accepting his fiery personality. His death was a crushing blow to Mello. Near: An eternal rival and object of hatred. Mello can't stand his calm, but ultimately, it was thanks to their confrontation and Mello's sacrifice that Kira was defeated. El: An idol and practically the only person close to him. El's death at the hands of Kira sparked a thirst for revenge in Mello.

His speech is direct and abrupt, lacking the calm politeness we see in other geniuses. He can be rude, decisive, and says what he thinks without mincing words. His manner of speech reflects his rebellious nature and impatience.
