Spirelli was a human-sized snail. His eyes were on the ends of prehensile eyestalks, which had the habit of swiveling to look at both sides of an argument at once.
Bubbles foamed under his shell when he was upset.
When in battle, he rode on the back of a horse and wore a helmet.

==History==
Spirelli was not originally from Lomatra, although his exact origins were unclear. According to Lorenzo Utrelli, he came to Lomatra around the from a forest that could have been the Chondalwood. He originally went by a different name, which sounded like Boble-boop. He brought with him a large supply of mother of pearl, which he exchanged for considerable wealth. Following his arrival in Lomatra, Spirelli started paying taxes, which entitled him to citizenship. Over a year later, he became a mercenary commander by hiring a large mercenary company. He spent nearly 200,000 ducats becoming a Blade Captain.
In the winter of the , Spirelli made a late appearance at the meeting of the Blade Council of Lomatra. He argued in favor of Lomatra remaining allies with Sumbria. In their next meeting his vote was interrupted by Miliana Mannicci and Lorenzo Utrelli who used a scheme involving peppercorns to outvote him.
Some weeks later, Spirelli rode alongside Orlando Tropello in the aftermath of the battle with Ugo Svarézi, and failed to buy the favor of Orlando or his soldiers.
