Smiley doesn't appear to be the most well adjusted person in the world. His mannerisms and attitude make his sanity highly questionable. His appearance has made more than one social situation uncomfortable. He stands 6'1" and weighs 195 lbs. His hair, though originally brown, has been dyed blonde and cropped short. His eyes are blue in color. Most of the time he wears a old pair of sunglasses. Smiley can look even more demonic than he acts if he takes the time. He has been known to paint his face a dull yellow and draw the outline of a sinister "Smiley Face" on his features. When combined with the number of razors sprouting out of his hands, the effect is more than sufficient to be unsettling.

Smiley's clothes are not in terrible taste. He does wear suites occasionally and a nice coat. Though Smiley is not eccentric all of the time, it apparent that he does have a different set of moral values than the average person. He is moody, but doesn't manage to exert some amount of self control over himself.

No matter the day, Smiley always makes sure to have one or two buttons on his person. These clip-on buttons vary greatly with different slogans. Some examples are:

"Have a Nice Day"
"Elvis Lives"
Smiley Face w/Sinister Smirk
"Don't Run We Are Your Friends"
Button with Nuyen Symbol
"Meat is Bad"

"If you thought that was funny,

You haven't seen drek yet!"

Smiley is not the worlds most understandable person and he makes a poor role model by anyone's standards. He can be overly violent and disillusioned. At the same time he demonstrates a calm control when he's thrust into a potentially dangerous situations. The truth is that his mind doesn't register the danger to himself. He also doesn't realize the pain that he causes to others because he doesn't feel any connection to him. A classical case of separation stemming from his lonely childhood.

His BTL habit hasn't helped matters any. Constantly slotting chips have put him on the border line. Though Smiley is not an unthinking animal. He is more than capable of sharing his insights and his opinions. Problem is that his thoughts are normally not on the other peoples level.
Smiley's childhood wasn't the best one could hope for. His mother died at a young age and he was raised by his father. His father was the owner of a small copying business and he was obsessed with his work. He didn't spend much time with his son. Instead Smiley spent most of his time with the electronic babysitter known as the TV. In school he got into more trouble than he was worth. Several times he was threatened with expulsion.

He joined the military at the age of eighteen. By the time he was twenty-two he had been transferred to a special unit called "Harry's Bunch." They dealt primarily in small operations were they would complete specialized operations as quietly as possible. Most of their activities were denied by the UCAS government. Smiley received most of his cyberware during this time. Most of the implants were done by a surgeon named Dr. Thaddeus Simms.

When Smiley was twenty-five, his tour of duty was up and he received an honorable discharge. He had no idea what he was going to do now. He filled his first few weeks off by accepting bouncer jobs and working in small clubs. He was later fired because of his treatment of customers.

Eventually a man named "Mr. Bishop" approached him. He explained that he heard of Smiley's exploits in the military and that he had ties with Smiley's old unit. Mr. Bishop recruited Smiley into an organization that was referred to as "The Company." Essentially The Company is an international organization who's controllers would gather a flock of the worst men in the world. Assassins, murderers, serial killers, and terrorists just to name a few. This people were gathered together, then hired out by the Company to perform deniable operations for whoever could pay.

Smiley worked with the company up until the beginning of 2060. Then he was kicked out, but he was able to leave with his life intact. To set up the situation, a few months before he was kicked out Smiley went on a job. He was to enter a small Chinese restaurant and kill the owners while they had a meeting with members of the Yakuza Swordfish Clan. He did his job and hurt a lot of people like he was told. Unfortunately one of the people he "hurt" was the niece of one of the Company's primarily controllers. The niece was no more than ten. Smiley had accidently shot her in the gunplay. He regretted what happened the instant he did it, but that would not change anything. Months later Smiley was given a card, asking him to fly to San Francisco in the California Free State.

In San Francisco he was to go to the Winterwood Maximum Security Prison which was due for its grand opening in two days. When Smiley arrived he found himself to be with several other Company employees. Each of the other people with him had a small black business card that was given to them by Mr. Bishop. The card told the holders name and what he or she had done to dishonor the Company. Smiley's held the picture of a small girl whom he had shot with the word "Lost Innocence" wrote above it.

Mr. Bishop then told the employees that they had all betrayed the company and that the punishment was death, but there was a way to get out of it. Three of them would be allowed to survive and go free, but all the rest must be dead. It was a game to see who would survive. To make things more interested there was a time limit. If there were no winners within six hours, everybody would be killed. To make it even more interesting, a briefcase containing half a million nuyen was hidden in the prison. Then Mr. Bishop ordered cartes of guns, bats, and bullets to be dropped amongst the employees.
Now when a bunch of assassins are given a bunch of guns and a bunch of bats and told to go, they're going to go. To make a long story short, Smiley was part of the trio that survived. Along with a elvish man named Vault who always considered Smiley to be a rabid dog and a woman named Julia Brown.
After he was released Smiley took his half of the money and told Vault and Julia goodbye. He took the next flight out of San Francisco. Since he left he has spent most of the money and still hears from Mr. Bishop on rare occasions.
