Hiram Kent

Hiram Kent is a posthumous character in Smallville. He was the husband of Jessica Kent, the father of Jonathan Kent and the paternal adoptive grandfather of Clark Kent. 
He debuts in the sixth episode of the third season and is portrayed by Dean Wray 
==History==
Hiram was born in Smallville, where he worked on his ancestral farm since the founding of the town by Ezra Small. 
Shortly after a young woman named Louise was supposedly murdered, Jessica and Hiram came across her lover, a drifter named "Joe." In truth, the "drifter" was actually the Kryptonian Jor-El. Because the Kents showed him kindness, and seeing the good people they were, Jor El decided to send his son Kal-El to the Kents when Krypton was destroyed.
==Personality ==
According to his daughter-in-law Martha, Hiram was a good judge of character. This was proven in a flashback where he helped a drifter escape persecution for allegedly killing Lana Lang's great aunt, Louise.
