| Swindell seems to be a supporter of [[Ishnail]] and does not like the actions of the [[Pianta syndicate]] led by [[Don 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 as [[Mario]]. | | Swindell seems to be a supporter of [[Ishnail]] and does not like the actions of the [[Pianta Syndicate]] lead by [[Don Pianta]].
