Mello, also known as M, whose real name is Mihael Keehl , is Near's rival. He is the older of L's two successors raised in Whammy's House—Watari's orphanage for gifted children—in Winchester, England. When it is decided that Mello should work with Near to capture Kira, he refuses citing an inability to work with somebody he is considered "second" to. He leaves the orphanage soon after, stating "I'll find my own way", and eventually joins the Italian Mafia.Mello has sometimes been known to use less conventional methods to achieve his goals, including kidnapping the Director of the Japanese Police. He also relies on information leaked from an informant (Ill Ratt) in the SPK.
