** He used to be a crusading reformer like Smith's father, Clayton Smith, but at some point in the past he had to sell out to the Taylor machine. He's shown several times that he wasn't happy working for Taylor or harming Smith, and was working against his will. He lost his initial zest and is now he's a jaded shell of his former heroic self all he can do is think back to who he used to be, while all he can do now, is work under Taylor's orders, since he's the one who put Paine in his position.

** It really says something when Smith out of all people is doing a HeroicBSoD, he was very optimistic and just wanted to set up a boys' camp, but Jim Taylor had other plans. Then things went downhill from there, Smith found out his idol was working for Taylor and that the system was corrupt, he got framed by Paine when he tried to expose Taylor's dam scheme --complete with fake documents and evidence fake signatures and everyting, and he nearly got expelled from the Senate, and lost all of his fans and supporters including the Boy Rangers. Now ''that'' is the face of a broken man.
