| - Judge Smiley was appointed the head of Justice Department's black-ops unit by Chief Judge Griffin in 2101 after the defeat of Judge Caligula, his main responsibility being to prevent such corruption ever occurring again. He was indirectly responsible for driving Judge Frank insane, transforming him into Dirty Frank and transferring him to the undercover division known as the Wally Squad because he "needed a man" in the division. He also recruited Miss Ann Thrope and used her to manipulate undercover Judge Jack Point.
Smiley disappeared in 2114, was presumed dead and was replaced by Judge Carolyn Bachmann. He had actually concealed himself in a secret labyrinth of hidden rooms within the walls of Justice Department. He continued to watch and manipulate unseen and unsuspected until Bachmann, who ultimately turned out to be just the kind of threat Smiley had been put in place to combat, attempted to take control of the City with the help of Archmime Turner of the Church of Simpology and the shark-like Enormo Overdrive, CEO of Overdrive Inc.
Smiley then set into motion a plan to thwart Bachmann's plot, using Judge Dredd and a brainwashed Jack Point and Dirty Frank as unwitting agents. Finally, he emerged from hiding himself just in time to kill Bachmann. Chief Judge Hershey was horrified and angered to learn that Smiley had been hiding just inches from her office for years, and that Dredd had not trusted her to know what was going on. As Smiley went back into hiding, she remarked that they might have "swapped one problem for another."
