The Unnamed Shinigami that was featured in Death Note Relight, and set up the plot for the telling of the story ofLight Yagami and the Death Note. Like Ryuk, he too was bored with the Shinigami Realm.

Appearance
This Shinigami is a skeletal-like figure, and is humanoid in appearance. The Shinigami limps as if his leg is injured. He has a wide mouth, turned upwards as if he's grinning, and has bright red eyes. His hair is spiked and he wears a red tie as a headband. He dons a coat, a pair of goggles, and carries a messenger bag. The Shinigami also carries a large skeletal object which he uses like a hammer. The object was used to threaten the Shinigami Deridovely, Gukku and Zellogi into revealing Ryuk's location.

Plot
Taking an interest in Ryuk's visit to the human realm, the Shinigami begins searching for Ryuk. He eventually finds him atop a mountain, and climbs to meet him. The Shinigami offers the latter a Shinigami Apple in exchange for information on how to undertake passage into the human world. Although not completely satisfied with the apple's taste, Ryuk agrees to tell the story of Light Yagami in regards to the Death Note.

However, before Ryuk can finish the legend, the Shinigami with his sights set on the Human World, begins his departure from the Shinigami Realm. As the Shinigami leaves, Ryuk remarks that although Light was "not actually a god back then" the Shinigami should try finding an "unbelievable guy" like he did in order to have an experience he will never forget.
