A rebellious sort I think...I seem to remember reading something about Smokey refusing to follow higher ups orders if following thru on them would put his men at risk. It sounds liked he definately refused/rebelled, but for altruistic reasons. If thats so... I sure as hell like Smokey's attitude.

As far as peers being characters go, I don't know... but G, Smokeys daughters friend, is definately a CHARACTER

I think I've said this before in the MLU, and I'll say it again... "You don't know who you're knowing when you're knowing them. You usually find out later who you knew...but didn't know!"
