Appearance

The source offers no real description of Rashual's looks, picturing him chiefly through a criminal mugshot left over from the murder case that once exposed him. In the anime he simply appears among the ranks of Ross's crew.

Personality

Almost nothing is recorded about the man's temperament. He is cast as a hardened veteran of the syndicate who, together with Glen Humphreys, anchors its inner core, a quiet fixture of the organization rather than a personality in his own right.

History

Long before his Mafia days, Rashual was the quarry of a young L. Still a child at Wammy's House, the future detective grew fascinated by an unsolved string of murders, pieced together that Rashual was the culprit, and posted his conclusions for all to see. Going to ground afterward, Rashual threw in with the syndicate's drive to obtain a Death Note, and he and Glen were spotted by satellite at the gang's hideout, pinning down its location. When Jack Neylon urges the members to grip Sidoh's notebook so they can lay eyes on the Shinigami, Rashual touches it, sees the creature, and opens fire alongside the rest. The same notebook soon claims him, a fatal heart attack taking him down with most of his fellow gangsters.
