In Anansi Boys, Charlie has learned that he has a brother and that to see him again all he has to do is ask it of any spider that he sees wandering around. When Rosie discovers a spider in the tub, Charlie uses it to 'summon' his brother's presence. After a night of celebrating with his brother, Charlie can't make his meeting with Ghrames so his brother (who looks a lot like him) agrees to go in his stead. Spider is the one that confronts them about their embezzlement by mentioning their offshort accounts.
