Description

Personality

Smenk is a ruthless and unrepentant thug. Sly and conniving, he uses threats, bribery, intimidation, and violence to achieve his goals. His demeanor is smarmy and overindulgent, and most usually condescending to others, especially those in his employ.

Smenk's "hook" catchphrase, used to exemplify his personality is "Don't you know who I am?" [1]

Possessions

Relationships

History

Smenk has been slowly gathering up mining claims from competitors that have gone into bankruptcy, purchasing their patents for coppers on the gold piece. He currently owns at least four mines in the Diamond Lake area. He also owns several local businesses.

Rumors and legends

Balabar is the subject of much gossip due to his famously bad taste and love of excess and employs several hired toughs.

It is rumored that he has powerful connections in the city of Greyhawk. It is said by many of the inhabitants in Diamond Lake that Smenk owns almost everyone and everything in the town. Most people in Diamond Lake believe he has the town sheriff Cubbin on his payroll. Those who aren't already on his payroll, he can pay off to get his way. Those he can't pay off tend to disappear.
