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 was a coward. Spandine was proud of his rank and enjoyed stepping on the heads of "criminals". He was very self-centered and did not care about anything, and his power as used 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.

Spandine is quite clumsy; 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.

Spandam was CP5's chief 8 years ago when Spandine suddenly disappeared. In the same year he disappeared, Spandam became the new CP9 chief. Until Eiichiro Oda reveals his current situation, his whereabouts are unknown.
