Character Description: Gelus
Gelus is a rare creature compared to other shinagami like Ryuk and Rem. He's actually a kind soul, with a genuine wish to help people. He had one weakness... he had fallen love with a human girl – Misa Amane. However, he knew she was to die soon... which led to his death.
On the day Misa was to die by the hands of a stalker obsessed with her, Gelus committed an act which sealed his fate – he used his Death Note to kill the attacker. Because of this, Gelus' body was reduced to a pile of dust – and all the years he accumulated were transferred to Misa. Rem, who was watching and tried to prevent this, decided to give Gelus' Death Note to Misa, believing it to be his last wish.
