Background

It is unclear whether he makes the notebooks or just holds a supply, and he will not replace lost ones. He appears to write the Death Note rules, and the lesser Shinigami regard him as a kind of father; he is said to be almost immortal. He is drawn as a large mass hanging in the air by chains, with a skull for a head and four tentacle-like arms ending in three-fingered hands.
