Backstory:
Near is introduced to the story as a child at Wammy's House. He is first seen sitting alone in a room piecing together a white puzzle, with the puzzle's only design being a black letter 'L' in the corner. As some children run by the room, a young girl named Linda asks Near if he wants to play with them. Near replies, "No, thank you, Linda," and continues to put together his puzzle. Soon after, Roger Ruvie comes by the room with Mello and brings the two children to his office. There, Roger informs the two boys that L has died.

Although Mello reacts rather violently to the news, Near remains quiet, sitting on the floor piecing together his puzzle. Mello begins questioning Roger, asking how L could say that he would catch Kira but end up dead himself. Near picks up his completed puzzle and turns it upside down, causing the pieces to fall about. He states, "If you can't win the game, if you can't solve the puzzle, you are just a loser." He immediately begins putting his puzzle back together. Mello asks Roger if he or Near was chosen as L's successor, and Roger replies that L had not yet decided. Roger asks if the two boys could work together. Near responds with a positive "alright," while Mello says it will never work because they "don't get along." Mello decides that Near should take the position of L because of his ability to stay calm and refrain from getting emotional, saying Near "uses his head" to solve the puzzle. Mello leaves the orphanage, and Near stays at Wammy's House for an unknown period of time.
In the time between learning of L's death and the creation of the SPK, Near gathers evidence related to the Kira case. Because all of the data gathered by L had been deleted, Near starts from scratch.
In the one-shot chapter taking place after the series, Near is shown as the new L (the third chronologically). A new Kira emerges who has gained a Death Note from the Shi****mi named Midora, who had received the additional Death Note from the Shi****mi King by bribing him with 13 apples she had taken from the Human World. The new Kira murdered elderly people in Japan to "relieve their pain." When Near's SPK subordinates asked him why he was not taking action, he replied that he was trying to think what the previous L would have done. He finally reaches the conclusion that the prevailing Kira was just a killer without a purpose, and he labeled the killer "C-Kira" for "Cheap Kira." He announces on national television, under the alias "L," that he is not interested in the case and has deduced that this Kira is not the real Kira but only an "abominable murderer." This results in C-Kira's suicide.
