* As opposed to the common perception of spies and spymasters, Smiley\'s appearance is that of a weary old civil servant. Outside of his intelligence service, very few speak of his deeds; as a result, most of the Pantheon thinks of him as just another member of the Celestial Bureaucracy. The few who don\'t disregard him hold him in high regard.
* Rumored to be the ultimate controller of an alarming number of moles scattered throughout the Pantheon, many of whom he recruited personally. Despite his skill at piecing together information, hunting down moles, and inducing {{Heel Face Turn}}s, he wishes for none of it and views it all as DirtyBusiness. He does it because SomeoneHasToDoIt.
