#45 - Peacemaker (Christopher Smith)

It was hard to do the write up for Paco without talking too much about Chris Smith.

As mentioned before, when we were in El Paso we end up at Reyes' Auto Mechanic, where Chris Smith already was, looking for Jaime Reyes. Chris has people that he has to get across the border and he needs Jaime's help for that. When we got pointed to Paco, he started to leave without us and Brennus followed after him, offering our help, since we were after the same thing. Here we learned that he's from a town called Warpath. Warpath is under assault by the Trigger Twins and he needs to get his people somewhere safe. Chris reluctantly agrees to meet us at the taco shop Paco was said to be at, but won't wait for us.

When we get there, as mentioned before, we find Chris pointing his gun at Paco. Here, he talks about how he once had a different name and dons the Peacemaker helmet. We met a different Peacemaker, Mitchell Black, when he woke up one of our groups from their tubes in Metropolis and he ended up sacrificing his life to get us out of the city safely. We didn't know Mitchell well, but from what we did, Chris seems to be his opposite. Cold, stoic and willing to do whatever is necessary to make peace in this brutal world we all found ourselves in.

Eventually, we meet up with him again in Warpath to get his people out safely and it's a brutal session. The Society sends wave after wave of troops against the church people are hiding in and we're doing our best to buy them enough time to escape. This is also the session that resulted in our only PC death so far (RIP Taliesin).

During the Convoy, Peacemaker played a role in keeping the civilians safe and remained a constant thorn in the side of Paco, bullying him into being useful. Even after returning to Z'onn Z'orr, he still bullies poor Paco... there was a concert perform by Shiny Happy Aquazon recently to raise moral and Paco attended...

Paco seems absolutely gaga over Aquazon. "She's so hot, man... but like, total marriage material."
A gruff voice whispers behind Paco. "Don't you have somewhere to be?"
"JESUS!"
Paco leaps in the air, spinning to confront the Peacemaker, in full costume. "Sir! I didn't- That is- I was-"
"You better get down to the garage now, or I'll tell Owlman you took the afternoon off."
"Or did baby need another week of vacation?"

When I asked Chris if he enjoyed the concert to try to deflect his attention from Paco...

Peacemaker turns to look at you. "You want to save your parents or do you want to fuck around?"

Peacemaker is another member of our Tokyo field team. During our check ins with that team, we haven't heard much about his performance or the roll he is playing. He has lacked screen time since the Convoy has ended... these lower rankings seem to give me lots of ideas of characters that I need to check in on. I don't know if this write up has done a good job explaining why I like Chris. It's hard to put it into words. He's just someone that has connected with me.

Hint for #44: This is the character that wasn't initially on my list that knocked off poor Helios!
