History: (Green Lantern / Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1) - Smithwicke was an anarchist chosen for the Sinestro Corps because of his ability to instill great fear. When he learned that fellow Slyggian Salakk was a member oif the Green Lantern Corps he vowed to kill him.

(Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special #1) - Sinestro gathered Smithwick and the Sinestro Corps on Qward. Sinestro laid out their mission of using fear to make the chaos of the universe bend to their will, and to replace it with law and order. Their first step was to burn anyone that would oppose their plan, so they had to destroy the Green Lantern Corps. They brought Kyle Rayner to Qward and stripped him of the Ion entity. Sinestro made Kyle feel fear, and infected him with the Parallax entity, which he then presented to his guardian, the Anti-Monitor.
