History
Little is known about Smith's life before he became a deputy prison warden and also associated with the Russian mob. At some point during 2000, he was investigated by L.A.P.D. officer John Decker and warned him to stop. However, when he refused to do so, he hired an assassin working for Russian mobster Boris Sokolov to kill him while making it look like a robbery gone wrong. Then he had Joe Fields, an innocent man, take the fall in exchange for money for his daughter.

Sixteen years later, Smith arranged for Fields to get assassinated on the way to his granddaughter's christening, much to the anger of Decker's detective daughter, Chloe. After Chloe uncovered that Joe was innocent, she investigated and Smith gave her the evidence needed. After she uncovered that Smith was behind it, they find that he escaped. However, he was caught by Mazikeen and kept at hers and Chloe's home, where she and Lucifer Morningstar arrive. After he confesses what he did, he begs her to kill him so he won't go to prison with the ones he's kept locked up. She refuses and takes him into custody.

Just before the trial, he hired a Chinese mafia assassin to kill Boris Sokolov and send the head to LAPD precinct, where he would even have him executed as well. During the trial, his lawyer was none other than Charlotte Richards (who was secretly Lucifer's mother Goddess), who was successfully able to get the charges dropped and let him walk free. Later that night, as Smith came out of a strip club, he was confronted by Chloe's ex-husband Dan Espinoza where he explained that he tipped off the Russians about his betrayal and assassination of Boris. Before he could react, the Russians arrived and took Smith to be executed. His body was found the next morning.
