Smiley was a new recruit of the Black Company in Shadow Games.
Shadow Games[]
Smiley was a nephew of Hagop, and lived in the city of Rebosa in the southern continent. When the Black Company (greatly-reduced after the Battle of the Barrowland) passed through Rebosa on their southward journey toward fabled Khatovar, Smiley enlisted. He would become known ironically as "Smiley" for "his consistent sullenness and sarcastic turn of phrase". The group then continued south, to Padora and beyond.
Twice Croaker would record his regret for admitting Smiley into the group, as he repeatedly proved to be "useless". He wrote that Smiley ended up with Hagop, indicating that he must have been involved in some capacity in the creation of the new Taglian cavalry force. After that, Smiley was not mentioned again, so his fate was not recorded in the Annals. It is possible he rode alongside Hagop, Otto, and the roi during their cavalry actions at the Battle of Dejagore.
