Personality and History:
Much like all the Wammy's children, he has a very low percentage when it comes to Social Skills. Matt is not a very social person and prefers to keep to himself. He would much rather be alone with his games and cigarettes than be around people . He hates the outdoors. He is the only Wammy's kid to ever admit that Misa Amane is "cute" Matt is both serious and teasing when he said this [ Chapter 85; Page 3 ]. He had only acted this way with Mello. Many times when he seems to be joking, he is dead serious.
Matt most of the time has the aura of indifference and calm. Even while facing men with guns, he had calmly attempted to negotiate his way out. Matt can be resourceful. He is not afraid to use anything to his advantage as shown in the few seconds before his death, when he reminded the guards about the information he could give them [ Chapter 99; Page 2 ]. He had probably hoped that it would buy him some time to think of an escape. Unfortunately, they did not want to give Matt any window for escape because they knew that he would get nothing from him. Keeping him alive would only make him a threat to Kira [ Chapter 99; Page 3 ].
Little is known of Matt's background. Matt was a former resident of the Whammy's House. He is the third in line as L's successor.
He had appeared in only 18 panels in the manga and this does not give a lot of personal information about him.
Unlike his two fellow Wammy's companions, Matt was one among the people gathered around the television when L had spoke to the first and only time. It was a test that Near and Mello had stood out from the rest. The two did not join the others gathered around the television. Instead, they listened in at a sidelines. Matt is the more curious of the three. This could also show that Matt respects and is curious about L. This may be the reason that he was roped to help in bringing Kira down. Judging from his personality, Matt holds no hard feelings for simply being ranked third. In fact, he seemed content seeing that it hadn't affected the relationship between him and Mello.
Five years after the defeat of L Lawliet, three of his heirs, Mihael "Mello" Kheel, Nate "Near" River and Mail "Matt" Jeevas entered the story. They were determined to finish the case L had left unsolved. It was not shown in the manga how Matt reacted to L's death, since Near and Mello were the ones told. It is safe to assume that Matt had not taken the news as calmly as he might have tried to make it appear. However, Mello hated Near. They worked separately at first to bring Kira to justice because he did not believe in Near's way in catching him. Matt chose to become Mello's accomplice, presumably because they were close friends. If he simply wanted to bring Kira down, he could have chosen to be Near's accomplice. Near is the first in line to become L's heir. But, Matt follows Mello's lead. He may seem like just play along but he had reasons for his actions no matter how small they are.
Matt is a spy for Mello that is for sure (A very odd spy though. He wears clothing that made him stand out ). It can be assumed that computers might be one of his talents. He can hack into computers and leave without traces. He appears in [ Chapter 83; Page 4 ] with Mello. He does Espionage work for Mello and kept an eye on Misa under Mello's instructions for any sign that Misa Amane could be the Second Kira. He and Mello seem to share a close friendship seeing as Matt could easily get away of teasing Mello about switching jobs because he got to listen to a cute girl [ Chapter 85; Page 3 ]. This could mean that Matt can appreciate a good-looking person better than the other two. Mello and Matt's banter seems very natural. Such show of professionalism cannot be easily ignored by a person like Mello who took the Kira case and L's passing seriously.
He assisted Mello in his plot to kidnap Kiyomi Takada, whom Mello had also suspected to have a connection to Kira. He used a smoke bomb to distract the bodyguards as Mello successfully took Takada away in his motorcycle. Matt drove away in his car, but was captured by Kiyomi Takada's bodyguards. He pretended to surrender himself. In an attempt to buy himself more time, he reminded them that he might have information. This was only a farce. Matt had a gun hidden under his jacket. The guards knew they wouldn't be able to get anything out of him and shot him. [ Chapter 98; Page 18 ] and [ Chapter 99; Page 2 ]
He was unsuccessful in predicting Kira's actions and that was what cost him his life. As brilliant as the third prodigy was, he was not brilliant enough to keep himself alive.
His death was on the news as an unidentified man. Mello apologized quietly, blaming himself for his death. Matt chose to become Mello's accomplice. He did not blame him for his death.
