Champ25,
(This contains spoilers for the manga and anime!!!)
If you haven't read or seen the Manga, then you obviously wouldn't know who Matt and Mello are (even Near for that matter.) Mello was second in line to succeed L, and when L died, he hadn't officially chosen a true successor. So, it was suggested that Mello and Near work together, but Mello detested Near and let him succeed L. Mello, wanting to prove that he was better than Near, went out and joined the Mafia to catch Kira himself. I won't spoil any details for you if you plan on reading the manga or watching the anime. Matt was third in line to succeed L, and was Mello's best friend. Like Near's obsessions with toys and twirling his hair, and Mello's obsession with chocolate, it was made clear that Matt loved video games. He was probably the only one out of the three original successors who wasn't anything like L. He didn't have a big role in the anime or manga, but he's very popular with the fans for his looks and commitment to Mello, and he was killed quite brutally. So, in the end, Near was the one to expose Light as Kira, and he and Mello ended up working together (though Mello died while kidnapping Kira's spokesperson, it helped Near in the investigation).
I hope that helps with not only you, but anybody else who was clueless as to who Matt and Mello are.
