Appearance
Rester has light blonde hair and light blue eyes.

Character
Rester seems to care for Near, and Death Note: How To Read 13 states that he can be seen as Near's guardian. Near appears to trust Rester greatly, and often reveals some of his thoughts and plans to Rester only. Rester also helps Near with actions he is not used to doing, such as booking a flight on a plane.

Rester is the only member of the SPK that Near is sure has never been seen by Kira.

Plot
Rester assists Near in urgent matters. The one shot happening after the main series reveals he continues to work with Near, Stephen Gevanni and Halle Lidner.
