Spark Brushel is a mint-breathed freelance reporter always looking for his next big scoop. He has been following the history of Troupe Gramarye for years for this very reason. 

Spark is a typical journalist always on the hunt for the next big scoop. To befit his role, he is extremely energetic and curious, and he is always moving around. His nose flashes when he finds a good story, and he's often seen writing notes on his arm. He tends to turn some of his speech into news headlines and constantly creates new metaphors. He also seems to greatly like the flavor of mint, as he has a toothbrush handy at all times, enjoys eating mint candies, and is said to give off an overpoweringly fresh smell of mint every time he smiles. 


Spark Brushel was on close speaking terms with Magnifi Gramarye, and also knew his daughter, Thalassa Gramarye. However, one day, Thalassa disappeared, and Magnifi refused to talk about it. Brushel caught the scent of a scoop, and began trying to get close to Zak Gramarye. It took some time, but Zak began to trust Brushel as a confidant. Things suddenly changed with the murder of Magnifi, and Zak's ensuing trial, which ended when Zak disappeared. For seven years, Zak didn't talk to anyone. Brushel continued with his work, yet the whole time, he couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching him. 

Seven years later, Zak would return, posing as Shadi Smith. With Brushel's help, Zak wrote his own will which passed the rights to the Gramarye magic on to his daughter, Trucy. Smith and Brushel then met Phoenix Wright at the Borscht Bowl Club; Wright became a witness to the will, legitimizing it. Later that night, Kristoph Gavin killed Zak, and Brushel once again couldn't shake the feeling that he was responsible because of who was watching him.

Several months later, Brushel set up an interview with the reclusive artist Drew Misham. When Brushel entered Misham’s apartment, he found his interviewee was busy writing a letter, which he hastily crammed into a yellow envelope. Misham then put a Gramarye Commemorative Stamp from a little frame on his desk onto the envelope, posted it through the letter box, and began the interview.

During the interview, Drew Misham admitted that he had the same feeling as Brushel; the feeling that someone was watching him. During the interview, Drew's daughter Vera served them both coffee. Brushel took his coffee and went to examine the old machinery in the back of the room. As Drew lifted his mug to his lips, he was suddenly seized by paralysis and died. Vera was arrested as a murder suspect, and Brushel took to the stand as a witness in court, offering his testimony in exchange for exclusive rights to the story. 

Brushel talked about his interview with Drew Misham, and how the two of them both felt like they were being watched because of their connection to Zak Gramarye. Brushel also suggested that maybe Wright was being watched as well. He also talked about Thalassa, giving Wright a photo of her and mentioning that she had another child besides Trucy.
