HISTORY

Christopher Smith is self-righteous and egotistical, and obsessed with gaining everlasting peace and liberty. Arrogant, sarcastic, obnoxious, and overconfident, Smith is willing to do anything to get it and end all fighting, no matter how many people he needs to kill, hurt, maim, or emotionally destroy along the way, making him very hypocritical. He is also willing to humiliate himself for his cause. Due to Peacemaker's ego and hypocrisy, the other members of the squad tend to greatly dislike him and not take him seriously, not that he cares.

Christopher Smith was born to Auggie Smith, a powerful and cunning small-town racist and a former nazi death camp commandant whose racist views deeply scarred his son. When he grew up, Christopher became a mentally unstable pacifist diplomat who grew so committed to peace, he eventually decided to enforce it by becoming a vigilante and killing those who stand in its way. He donned a bright costume, an oddly-shaped chrome helmet with a dove engraved on it, and the moniker of Peacemaker. As the Peacemaker, Smith killed many people in the name of peace before he was captured by ARGUS and detained in Belle Reve.
