He spends time whispering to [[Arfur]], a [[Doogan]], about something unknown. Swindell's name is a pun on "swindle," a verb meaning to obtain money or possessions through deception.


Swindell seems to be a supporter of [[Ishnail]] and does not like the actions of the [[Pianta Syndicate]] lead by [[Don Pianta]]. However, he admits that he has neither seen Ishnail, Don or the Don's successor, [[Frankie]]. At the end of the game, he decides that neither of them are as good as [[Mario]].
