Personality
Spade is a lazy man, who grumblers at the word “hark work”. He enjoys sleeping, drinking and eating, he has stated countless in different situations. That he would rather be in his quarters with a bottle of whiskey and a nice looking girl, but he seems to have a bit of bad luck. At first glance he is a serious and somewhat scary man, when he was first introduced. With the allies of the hakuri crew meeting each other, Morimura had commented that he though Spade was zoro at first but after Edelle said it was Spade. He isn’t the easiest man to get along with; he can be respectful if one respects him. Spade is mostly a grumpy man, a bit stubborn and sometime blunt with things. But he does hate when the innocent are attacked, he does try to help them. But sometimes he is force to leave and not help, which he can forget about.

He isn’t a man who goes out and talks about all of his secrets. He seems to be like to be along and out of the way, he doesn’t wish to start trouble with others and wishes to just sail around finding one piece. However, he isn’t scared to fight either if challenged he will fight and will not hold anything back. Spade is also a great leader; he does listen to his crew and to see what to do next. Well mostly since he is sleeping his first mate will be in charge while he is sleeping. Spade also does like the ladies as well, liking to sit down with a drink and “talk” with them in his quarters.
