Samuel Smith in his office

Doctor Samuel Smith is an engineer working with astromaterials at the NASA Johnson Space Center facility in Houston, Texas. The son of a US intelligence agent, Smith grew up in a household that valued discipline, integrity, and strong work ethics, which pushed him to succeed. Smith followed his interested in space exploration, earning a doctorate from MIT at a young age and getting his first job at NASA soon after.

At some point before 2016, Smith acquired a Shard of Eden at an auction for meteorites and objects made of exotic minerals. Completely unware of the origin of the artifact or its properties, he used the Sword of Mars' pommel as a paperweight in his office. In 2016, the Crew infiltrated the building his office was in and managed to distract Smith long enough to steal the Shard before leaving the facility.
