Spandine

Spandine is the father of Spandam and was CP9's chief 20 years ago. He led the "investigation" in Ohara and was responsible for summoning the Buster Call.

Personality
Like his son he is a coward. Spandine was proud of his rank and enjoyed stepping on the heads of "criminals." He is very self-centered and did not care about anything, and used his power to do whatever he wanted.

He believes everything he does is right and is extremely loyal to the Gorousei. Spandine believed himself to be special, and nearly invincible, because he's a Government agent. He saw himself like a hero, but acted like a child. A very bossy and mean person, he intend to get his job done and always begged for promotions. He laughed when the time came to unleash the Buster Call on Ohara, and thought that activating the Buster Call would get him promoted.

It should be noted that he somewhat cared for his subordinates and considered what was best for them(unlike his son) as shown when he was shocked that the buster call had started before they got off and then ordering them to get off the island while stating that their lives were more important than the prisoner's(Nico Oliva).

Spandine is quite dramatic; when Nico Olvia shot him, he thought he was going to die. He begged his agents to report to the boss and give the position he held to his son, only to be told that the bullet went through his sleeve.

Ohara Incident
20 years ago, Spandine was sent by the World Government to "investigate" Ohara Island. When the Marines tried to contact him, he would shrug it off and complain about coming over to the West Blue.

He captured Nico Oliva, apprehended the Ohara Clan, and summoned the Buster Call.

Currently
Recently, he was seen for the first time in the present in Chapter 527's CP9 cover story, where he met with his son in the hospital, plotting the assassination of the CP9.
