Swindell is aBandit that lives in the east side ofRogueport inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.Goombella has heard he is a thief but he has never been seen stealing. He spends time whispering toArfur, aDoogan, 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 ofIshnail and does not like the actions of thePianta syndicate led byDon Pianta. However, he admits that he has neither seen Ishnail, Don Pianta or the Don's successor,Frankie. At the end of the game, he decides that neither of them are as good asMario.
