Take someone who used to be normal, and stick'em in a house/cage full of geniuses, you're bound to turn him from ordinary to twisted.
At first glance, he seems pretty decent. Talk to him, and if you're interesting enough, he'll pause his game and look up to give you answer through a moutful of cigarette smoke. Sure, he might be a little easily bored, and he might have that weird, lazy half-smirk on his lips most of the time, but hey, that's not too bad, right?
Wrong.
Who said that he's anything close to normal?
Because where most people have emotions and empathy and caring for things he just has nothing. Apathy. He doesn't give half a fuck for most everything. Maybe if it's fun, he'll spare it a sideways glance, but otherwise? Nah, he's just watching everything from the sidelines. But that just seems to be the way he rolls. He's anonymous, he's skilled, and he's just bored - just a computer techie who sort of sways and floats through a digital sea without a name and without a face, who smashes into your system and replaces all of your important files with gay porn just to ease his own boredom. (At least it's high-quality gay porn.) He just wants something to do. Even when he's helping Mello, even when he's pretty much helping out on what is one of the most epic detective missions of the time ("Hey, we're going after this guy that can kill anyone without even touching them, and he's considered a fucking god, and we might both die on this mission just like L did!"), his only complaint is that he's bored of being stuck in a room doing surveillance. Clearly, he has his priorities in order.
But oh, no, no, I can see you frowning and going, "This is one hell of a slacker," but you see, that's where you're wrong, because he's a Wammy's kid, too, and none of those crazy little bastard are ever predictable, are they?
Because even though he's bored and wants some fun and wants to do something more exciting, he still follows Mello like it's his sole source of entertainment. Mello says watch the girl, he says okay but I'm bored, Mello says come to Tokyo, he says now? and Mello says jump, and he says fuck you, I'm too tired and returns to his videogames. So, okay, maybe he's as close to normal as one of those Wammy's kids can get, but guess what? He's still loyal as hell - as loyal as a dog, those pathetic animals that follow their masters like those army dogs that follow their soldiers out to the battlefields and get shot and die drooling blood on the ground.
There, you have him. Equal parts apathy and loyalty and just a smidgen of good ol' crazy with a dash of normalcy sprinkled on top. That wasn't too hard, was it?

→ Born, probably in the back streets of the poorer area of Tokyo, to a woman. Dunno about the dad.
→ Age two - dumped on the front steps of the nearest orphanage.
→ Age four - diagnosed with a bad case of photophobia and promptly issue a pair of sunglasses. Oh, goody.
→ Age six - this weird guy comes to the orpahange, tells him, "You're gifted, you don't belong in this orphanage - come to Wammy's." "What kind of name is that?" "It's an orphanage for special children - gifted ones. And we would like you there." "Alright." Turns out Wammy's isn't all that much more fun than the old orphanage except -
→ enter Mello. Fun bastard. Fucking insane, but that's the good part, eh? And that lasted a good few years until -
→ Mello decides he's had enough of Wammy's, leaves to follow L. Matt lingers there for half an year more before vanishing as well. He's out on the streets working as a hacker, dabbles with the mafia for a while, ditches them when he gets bored, drifts from place to place for a good long while.
→ News of an explosion. He thinks, --Mello? -- nah, I'm probably thinking too much--
→ except, he's wrong. Mello shows up at the step of his flat burnt to a crisp like a nice medium steak - "Mello, what the fuck--" "shut up." "Alright. Come on, let's get you patched up."
→ "Hey, Mello, so what're we doing?" "Bringing down Kira." "Oh, alright."
→ "You ready?" "Yeah." "Then let's go."
→ crash and burn, baby
→ because that plan didn't work out. Kira got L, and in the end he got them, too - manipulated them both and sent them smack into the coma - out like a light, and Matt blacked out, hoping that Mello was safe--
→ which he wasn't, but didn't matter - eventually, that coma ended, and Matt woke up bleary-eyed and disoriented. Dizzy. But alive.
→ "--Mello? Where the fuck are you?"
