If ever there was such an honorable mouse, it could only define one rodent: Constable Smith. The tough and robust mouse with the deep, Scottish brogue, Constable Smith is a well-trained and experienced officer. As expected of Constables in general, Constable Smith is very stern and puts on a tough expression as means of focusing on the dangerous tasks at hand. Despite his stern appearance however, Constable Smith is a teddy-bear with a heart of gold. He is a family mouse who lives to serve his fellow mice and defend the innocent.

Born Chester Angus Smith in Edinburgh, Scotland, he was the oldest son out of two boys and two girls. His father was a Baptist preacher and his mother was a cook. Although the family wasnt financially stable, they were very happy just having each other. Their financial problems became worse after the death of Smiths father. Only eleven years old, Smith found himself working part-time jobs to help support his family while going to school and looking after his mother and siblings. Smiths childhood practically ended there and he learned adult responsibilities very quick. When Smith turned seventeen, his mother died from pneumonia. Now he found himself having to take charge of the family household. He then began work in a factory while his other siblings worked ordinary part-time jobs such as shoemakers assistants or cashiers. The only sibling who didnt work was Smiths youngest sister (who was only eight years old). Instead, she helped with household chores as part of her share of the labor.

Smith and his siblings managed to maintain financial stability for three years. One day, he asked his sisters to buy bread at the market and be home before nightfall. Nightfall came and passed, but they never returned. Smith had waited for hours, worrying about his sisters safety. He and his brother were left no other choice but to search for them. Smith and his brother eventually found them but not alive. His sisters bodies were found near a river. Both had rags wrapped around their necks, indicating that theyd been strangled to death. An empty basket was found near his second oldest sisters hand, where the bread shouldve been. Smith was utterly devastated at the site of his sisters pale bodies. He had been a brother and a father to his siblings and did his best to keep them safe, only to fail to save his sisters that time. He and his brother buried their sisters near a garden. The twenty-year-old Smith knew something had to change.

Smith began saving his hard-earned money for law school. At the same time he attended school, Smith also learned self-defense. After four years of law school he graduated and began work in the police force. He was very hard working mouse, always willing and focused on the dangerous tasks at hand. He succeeded in bringing many criminals to justice and eventually discovered and arrested the mouse responsible for his sisters deaths (his name was Charles Morgan). It didnt take him long to earn the title Constable Smith. He earned not only the respect of his fellow officers but more than enough money to keep bread on the table and help his younger brother through college. Smiths only fault, however (and its one that existed before becoming a constable), was that he had a habit of being very stern (more than necessary). Because Smith literally put self aside (even during his childhood), he had a very hard time coping with the pressures endured through selflessness. Smith and his younger brother would often get into arguments because of this.

After four years, Smiths brother graduated from college, left home, and became a lawyer. Although Smith was proud of his brothers accomplishments, it pained him to be alone in the house without anyone to take care of. The solitude combined with the hardships endured as a police officer often made him even more stern. However, it didnt last long. Constable Smith eventually met a lady mouse named Bertha Campbell. They exchanged conversations and became very good friends. After four years, the friendship turned into love and within a few months, Constable Smith and Bertha Campbell were married. He and his wife had two sons. Constable Smith began to feel the comfort of raising a family and then his wife was with child once again. Unfortunately, this was the last child she would ever give birth to. The pregnancy of Bertha Smith proved to be fatal. She died shortly after giving birth to Constable Smiths daughter, Elsa. Smith grieved over the loss of his wife, but he still had his children. Although his job kept him extremely busy, he was still able to find time to father his children (and protective of Elsa).

Smiths two sons eventually grew up and left the house, leaving only his daughter, Elsa. Nevertheless, eventually she was old enough and ready to move on too. This made it very hard for Constable Smith to deal with the fact of losing Elsa (the memory of his deceased sisters still haunted him). However, he realized that his daughter was no longer a little girl and learned to let her go.

Smith worked in the police force twenty-two years in Scotland. His successes eventually led him to a job transfer in London, England, a place where the cries of rodents are heard the most. He soon learned about the corruption that occurred in the Police Department (especially toward bats) and was very displeased with it. Smith then met Father Richards and Sister Ingrid when going to Westminster Abbey for peace of mind. He knew something had to be done, so little by little, he began to clean things up with the London mice police. Little by little, Smiths example began to spread. His first demonstration was the rescue of a raped bat girl by the name of Deniece la Chauve-souris (and looked after her like a daughter ever since). He became the chief constable of the Police Department.

Smith was as successful a constable in London as he was in Edinburgh. Many of the street criminals were brought to justice during his years in the Police Department. Even a few of the major criminals (with the help of the famous Basil of Baker Street) were brought to prison. His efforts eventually led to the capture of Ratigans henchmen, including the ex-lackey Fidget (who turned out to be involved with Deniece). Generally distrustful of the peg-legged bat, Smith always kept a eye on him, even after his release from prison. Despite the fact that Fidget was a changed bat, Constable Smith saw it as his responsibility to watch him. When he heard the news that Fidget and Deniece were about to get married, he wasnt altogether approving of the idea. It wasnt until after the two bats married that Smith realized how seriously Fidget took the vows of marriage. Smith no longer saw any need to watch him.

After thirty-six years of working in the police force, Smith withdrew due to a serious injury in his right knee from his last battle with criminal mice. Although his knee healed, Smith knew too well that his last confrontation with ruffians was a sign of his getting old. Constable Smith retired from the police business and took the train back to Scotland. Now Smith is living in Edinburgh and spending time with his family.
