Mello - Mihael Keehl (11)

There is no official information about Mihael's origins, nor about his arrival at Wammy's House, though it is known that he had a troubled past. While it is believed he comes from an Eastern European country, possibly Slovenia, the only official detail about his past is that he left the orphanage in November 2005, when he learned that L had died and that he had not been officially chosen as his successor. Some time later, he reconnected with a fellow Wammy's resident in London, who helped him travel to North America.

Mihael is temperamental, cold at times. He has an impulsive personality, always wanting to compete with Near to see who can find Kira first. However, he is the most emotional of all L's successors, so his actions are always extreme and impulsive, driven more by the urge of the moment than by true reflection. Likewise, and according to statements from his creators, Mello is the most empathetic of them all, unable to understand how someone could harm another person in cold blood, but it is precisely because of his impulsiveness that he ends up doing it.

For these reasons, Mihael appears to have a difficult and violent character, despite being sociable and energetic. He hides his feelings due to his dark past. Like highly intelligent individuals and the other characters at Wammy's House, he has a compulsion; in his case, it's eating chocolate bars.

Mihael is of average height, with a slender build and pale complexion. He has shoulder-length blond hair with very long bangs that reach his eyes. His eyes are blue in the anime, while they are black in the manga. He wears tight-fitting black clothing, usually leather. His outfit consists of a zippered leather shirt, tight leather pants, and gloves. In the manga, he is seen wearing a rosary, which was modified in the anime.

After the explosion he caused himself, he shows a burn scar on his face, which covers almost the entire left side of his face.
