D.Gray-Man[Point of time in canon from which the character is taken] Manga chapter #164
[Background info] Komui Lee is the Supervisor of the Black Order and Lenalee's older brother. Their parents were killed by Akuma when they were younger and Komui ended up as the only family left for her. Little time later it was found out that Lenalee was a compatible to Innocence, and she was taken away to be trained into an Exorcist. After several escape attempts and one what looked like an attempt at suicide, three years later, they were reunited as Komui joined the Order and became head of the Science Department, as he is not an Innocence compatible person and was unable to become an Exorcist along with her.
[Personality] Komui is shown as a rather dotty and eccentrical character, and when allowed (or not necessarily allowed, actually) to break out his frighteningly large reparation tools also shows behavior bordering on maniacal, as well as traces of sadistic delight. He's always drinking coffee (Lenalee's, to be specific, unless he has absolutely no other choice) in a mug with bunny-print (which appears to be a running gag when involved with Komui; he could be seen doodling the same bunny while supposedly busy on the phone, among other occurrances), avoids paperwork by all means possible and keeps a notoriously messy desk. He has repeatedly invented mechas of the 'Komurin' series in order to ease the work of the Science Department, and eventually his own, but due to various mishappenings had to witness his inventions, which he treasures as a mother loves their children, wreak havoc and destroy a large part of the Order. Much alike his tendency to push his minor faults onto other scientists (preferrably Reever), he defended Komurin by trying to ease the blame from it and find a scapegoat. The futility of this was accompanied with a lot of whining on Komui's side as Lenalee (or, in other cases, Kanda) destroyed his hard work's worth.
When Komui does work, and also thanks to a large amount of coffee, he is prone to pulling allnighters along with his coworkers. This is the reason he can often be found asleep over his desk. The only way to wake Komui is to tell him that his sister Lenalee will be getting married, which he believes every time. He will not refrain from dramatic accusations and/or crying/more whining/clinging/preparing drills for the groom. Komui defines the term 'sister complex' and takes it to a whole new level.
All eccentricity aside, Komui has a rather serious side to him and is very firm in his beliefs, even daring enough to stand up to Rouvelier's orders regarding the keeping of the Akuma Egg, instead insisting on its destruction; as only one example of the changes his presence has brought to the Order. Although strictly keeping to the rules of not bringing back the bodies of finders or Exorcists to their families and coming across as rather ruthless, it can safely be assumed that Komui played a large part in the abolishment of Innocence experiments on non-compatible persons. Even though he might have liked to send the finders' bodies home, it had a chance of increasing the number of Akuma, so he declined, despite the fact that it made him come across as unusually cold-hearted. What he truly works for is the safety of everyone at the Order, which he worries about far more than his goofy personality shows, and he feels rather guilty about perpetually sending them out into danger. Not only is he intent on decreasing the large amounts of work for his Science Department, but also tries to help the Exorcists in any way he can, such as making better uniforms and taking care of the reparations of anti-akuma weapons. In his own words, he does not want to leave anyone behind, deceased exorcists, finders and experiments alike - he wants to take the burden of everyone who has been sacrificed in the name of the Black Order, and help to minimalize the count of future sacrifices in any and every way he can.
[Abilities] Sewing, inventing, reparation of anti-akuma weapons. Handling drills and more scary machinery. Anatomical and physiological knowledge. Has remarkable memorizing skills and a lot of empathy for family drama and loneliness angst, which will ping him hard. I will not be held responsible if he wants to adopt your character.
[Other important facts] Komui is of Chinese origin, as is his adorable sister. He hates order and tidiness. Also, according to Hoshino-sensei (as stated in the fanbook), his eyesight is not impaired in the least; he wears the glasses mainly to make it harder for others to read his concern or troubled mind whenever present.

At last, a vacation! ~~
Finally, my superiors must have realized the extent of their slavedriving numerous assignments. Maybe the timing for a diplomatic get-together of the Order's main and branches alike can be considered surprising, but after completing the full eviction of former headquarters, not entirely out of place. And! I get to visit Bella Italia~ -- Even if I had pictured this building as more evidently historical and not as.. colourful. Hopefully the choice of a school for the meeting does not indicate that I have been sweet-talked into further education in supervising. An entirely unnecessary concern, most of the time, biweekly-
...
Ah? I thought I hadn't brought any of my helpful personal robots. Someone else must have had the ingeniously hip idea for this staff replacement. My little comrade, praytell, would your creator mind if I added a hat to your cunning design? It would suit you so well- hm? You want mine?
But we have different sizes; give me a few minutes, I can tailor you a new one in no time-- ow, ow, no tugging, please no-
A coffee stain? You want to get it out for me?
By all means, go right ahead! Such beautiful programming.
Alas, then, hatlessly I shall be waiting. Considering the progress of the move, maybe there will be no further need for me to lend a hand in the work by the time I return-- I only hope someone will be able to set up Lenalee's room of Fraternal Admiration and Protection again, surrounding my adorable sister with my very presence even when my painfully ruthless but well-meaning science department ties me to a maze of paperwork towers! She must have been feeling unfathomably lonely once she stopped allowing herself to crawl into my bed many, many years ago, unfortunately; ah~, the pride with which she must have been carrying the burden of separation, even too shy to ever make use of the room that I personally decorated for her! Thankfully, big brother does look very dashing in most of the images. Sooner or later, she will be unable to resist. ♪
[Read the rules much?] Always.
