What They Know

• Made the Shinigami Eye deal with Ryuk — traded half his remaining lifespan for the ability to see names and lifespans

• Organized the Yotsuba raid that captured Higuchi and recovered the Death Note
• His entire family was put under surveillance by L — he agreed to it because the investigation required it, despite the personal cost
• Died during the mission to rescue the Death Note from Mello's mafia — shot by Mello's associate
