Matt

Mail Jeevas is a cohort of Mello's, first appearing in Chapter 83. He does some espionage work for him and is an accomplice in Takada's kidnapping.

He follows orders without question, usually smoking a cigarette as he does. Not much else is known about him, other than he is a former resident of Wammy's orphanage. While working for Mello he was ordered to spy on Misa and monitor her movement. In Chapter 98, he fires a smoke bomb at Takada's bodyguards as a distraction to allow Mello to kidnap Takada; in the next chapter he meets face to face with Takada's bodyguards. Inside the back of his shirt, he hid a gun which he tried to take out until he is finally shot multiple times by all thirteen of the bodyguards surrounding him. Mello later sees the news of his death broadcast on TV and apologizes to Matt for his death.

Matt's real name is Mail Jeevas (pronounced like "mile" rather than "male"); he likes video games, but dislikes going out, and Matt was behind Mello and Near to succeed L. Matt is 168 centimeters tall (5' 6), weighs 52 kilograms (115 pounds), and his blood type O. While his hair color was never revealed in the manga, the anime portrays him as having dark, greenish-brown hair, while the video game Death Note: L o Tsugumono (L's Successors) portrays him with silver-blue hair. An image of Matt without goggles is shown in the anime guidebook, revealing him to have dark blue eyes (and eyebrows, unlike L, Mello, and Near).
