Even after defecting from the [[Consistency Imperium]], Century Smith continued wearing the outfit he'd been provided with as a member of it, including the coat and hat. An insignia on the bicorn hat highlighted his former rank as a personal assistant to the [[Imperial Imperator]].

Century Smith was a quiet, sometimes awkward man, but unfailingly selfless, with his guiding principle in life being (as he succinctly put it) to “keep people from getting hurt”. He made friends easily (being, in fact, a little too trusting) and loved to see the beauty of the places he visited, being neither bothered nor blasé by the strangeness of the many sights the [[Multiverse]] had to offer.

Smith was capable of flying his [[Century Smith's Void Ship|Imperium Void Ship]], and of making minor repairs to it, although they had more to do with haphazard tinkering than true engineering.

Smith joined the [[Consistency Imperium]] because he believed in their good intentions and wanted to do good in the [[Multiverse]]. He became a personal assistant to the [[Imperial Imperator]], much put-upon even though this technically made him a high-ranking member of the organisation.

He betrayed the Imperium when he realised that they were actually doing more harm than good, and he travelled across dimensions for a century (in his personal subjective timeline) to recall Imperium agents to the [[Consistency Palatium|Palatium]], keeping them from increasing the [[Rift]] threat any more than they had already done. This earned him his perennial nickname of “Century Smith”. During these travels, he met [[Jenny Nowhere#Betraying Century Smith|a dimensional scientist without a name]]. She was in actuality an incarnation of [[Jenny Nowhere]], a fact which Smith did not find out for many years; Nowhere faked a friendship with Smith, believing him to still be an agent of the Imperium and believing that he might be useful in pointing her in the way of interesting paradoxes. At some point, he also met and befriended [[Lord Nachtos]] (a Christmas-tree-shaped [[demon]]) and [[Jack Pumpkinhead]].
