Admiral Swirl was a Blue Moranth and Bhuvar of the Moranth contingent of the Malazan Expeditionary Force. He wore a suit of plate armour that "shone with the deep blue of open ocean."Stonewielder, Chapter 4, US HC p.189

Swirl's command was contracted by the Malazan Empire to assist in bringing the renegade Malazan 6th Army to heel in the Lands of Fist. His Moranth were the first to successful break the Marese blockade of Fist in over twenty years and their use of alchemical weapons and munitions soon saw that seafaring nation sue for peace.Stonewielder, Chapter 3, US HC p.177Stonewielder, Chapter 4Stonewielder, Chapter 9, US HC p.482 
After breaking the harbour defenses of Aamil and disembarking High Fist Greymane's army, Swirl and Admiral Nok made their way up the Blackwater Strait to Banith. There they bluffed their way into occupying the city while awaiting Greymane's arrival.Stonewielder, Chapter 4Stonewielder, Chapter 8, US HC p.402-406
Swirl opposed the site of Greymane's planned amphibious attack on the shore of Korelri, but obeyed the High Fist's wishes. He was astonished at the raw power High Mage Devaleth released in order to support the army's landing operation.Stonewielder, Chapter 11, US HC p.538/544
