Despite his strange personality quirk of being one game behind the times (or perhaps because of it), Smith is one of the more beloved NPCs among Ultima fans. Smith was the ultimate destination in a trans-Britannian scavenger hunt organized by Chuckles. When the Avatar spoke to him, he would reveal that he was on a mission to curb the amount of hay present in the kingdom, lest it engulfed the realm. He proudly proclaimed "Hay, thou hath met thy nemesis, thy doom, and his name is Smith!" If pressed for a clue, Smith would instruct the Avatar to remember to bring Lord British's Sandalwood Box when rescuing him from the Underworld.
