Smith, who's real name was James Tsarkol, was a human Blacksmith who was inhabited by the spirit of the Lunar God, The Thing That Shatters the Sky. This gave Smith the power to control arcane energies and transform after the Lunar Event. But the powers also caused Smith to take on aspects of the wolf when using this powers causing Smith to work hard to hide the changes. Orem while originally very nosy about what was going on with Smith was willing to edit much of information about Smith out of the Pods of Casting. 

Smith died on the Moon when he used his body as a conductor to restart the towers that had started the Lunar Event only this time under Randus and Orem's direction the system moved the moon to its rightful place in the cosmos. This massive trauma caused the release of The Thing That Shatters the Sky. And while Torq, Orem, Randus, and Coil were able to defeat the Lunar God. Smith was too far gone to heal. Smith's last request was to have a giant statue so he would be remembered for what he had done. While the original three members of party have yet to fulfill their promise to make a Smith a giant statue. There are four statues in Diamond Throne to the heroes of moon including Smith. 

Five years after the events with Spud in the Feywind Randus has a noble Lord of Diamond Throne finally completed the large statue which Smith wanted. In the years the follow Randus also found Smith's parents. It turned out they to had been Void Cultist following The Thing that Shatters the Sky. However by the time Randus had found them they were little more than shells.
