History

 
Spinel in disguise

Spinel first appeared in HZ006, in a meeting with the other Explorers Admins. Upon seeing Amethio's flaws, he started mocking him, doubting whether or not he actually saw the black Rayquaza. Amethio and Spinel's squabbles were interrupted by Hamber before Gibeon decided to give Spinel the mission to investigate the Rising Volt Tacklers.

In HZ011, an electrical interference prevented the Rising Volt Tacklers from communicating with their Rotom Phones. In the following episode, it was revealed that Spinel used his Magneton to jam their phone signals. Later, Spinel was shown spying on the Brave Asagi in order to analyze the Rising Volt Tacklers' skills as Trainers.

In HZ013, Spinel used a large amount of Magneton to create another electrical interference, preventing the Brave Asagi from updating its flight systems, leaving it stranded near Levincia.

In HZ014, Spinel had his Magneton and Beheeyem lead Friede into an ambush but had them retreat once Charizard Terastallized into a Dark Tera type. Later he cornered Liko in town and with help from Beheeyem was able to steal her pendant without her realizing.

Character

Spinel is shown to be snarky and dismissive towards others, especially with Amethio, easily irritating him, which results in him becoming unprofessional around his associates. He is formal around other Explorer members, as well as, in front of his superiors. He happily obliges and obeys orders from Gibeon. Spinel is shown to be very confident on his abilities, and looks down on everyone, including his adversaries to whom he displays a condescending attitude, while keeping a seemingly unflinching sense of level-headness, rarely if ever seen losing his cool.

Spinel is generally very underhanded on his methods, tending to stay secluded while directing his Pokémon from afar, giving them orders through communicators while using cameras to monitor them and what they see, effectively using them for spionage, but also issuing battle orders from a distance. He is not above employing disruption tactics and ambushes to entrap his targets, along having his Pokémon battle two on one, or luring his intended prey with false information as he did with Liko. Spinel only comes out in the open when he's sure about his chances of victory, and even then does his utmost to hide his identity.
