=== Early Years ===
Smitty and Flashpan were boyhood friends from the day that Smitty's mother joined the staff/harem of Flashpan's father, Professor Hill. Lost in a sea of siblings and half-siblings, Flashpan found in Smitty a rare admirer, someone who looked up to him rather than constantly competing with him for fleeting parental attention. Smitty's loyalty became a refuge from the general lechery of the Hill clan.
=== Adventurer ===
When Flashpan struck out to become an adventurer, he enlisted Smitty as his right hand and bodyguard. The orc, never especially bright to begin with, suffered terrible and repeated injuries in defense of his friend, rendering him effectively nonverbal except for the phrase "Luxor" (a corruption of his much used phrase "Look out, sir!"). Nevertheless, Smitty bore these grievous wounds, never diminishing in his efficacy as a bodyguard (in part because while not exceptionally strong or fierce for an orc, he was unusually tough).
A chance encounter with mind-altering crystals during the course of the Irish Revolution allowed Smitty to recover and even exceed his original mental capabilities, albeit at a considerable physical toll. Flashpan and Smitty embarked on a grand tour of the cosmos as diplomats for the fledgling Irish Republic (accompanied by one of Flashpan's wartime officers, Aed, and at Smitty's insistence by the beautiful spy Ellie Collins). This final great journey for the adventuring pair lasted seven years, with Smitty attending countless banquets and state functions and doing his best to remember the proper positioning of cutlery.
At last, however, Smitty's crystal habit got the better even of his considerable fortitude and he passed away in the Irish embassy on Aeldrum. A grief-stricken Flashpan resigned his position as ambassador to Aeldrum and took his first and most loyal friend home to Ireland for burial with full military honors. Smitty's daughter by Ellie Collins, the half-orc Jessie Smitts, would go on to follow her father's example and serve a similar role as bodyguard and emotional supporter for Flashpan's adoptive daughter, Allie, in her subsequent adventures.
