Smeet is self-confident and proud of the extent of his knowledge regarding cards and guns. Between his weekly card games and his daily dog walks, Smeet seems to keep to a very regular schedule. He never cheats at cards or on his wife, but once a week he indulges himself by visiting the Barrel for a game of cards and the attentions of an attractive blonde. He re-enters his home, none the wiser about the break-in that just occurred.
Smeet does not recognize Kaz Brekker, and when Kaz returns his dropped wallet, Smeet gives Kaz a five- kruge bill. Even after the first dealer for the game (Kaz) leaves, Smeet is incited to continue playing when Jesper wagers his pearl-handled Zemeni revolvers, which Smeet had taken an interest in.Īfter midnight, Smeet returns home to the Zelver district and runs into a young man. Smeet plays Three Man Bramble against Jesper Fahey and others while Nina Zenik provides his blonde companion. Kaz Brekker orchestrates a plan to break into Smeet's house, which necessitates keeping Smeet out of his house and at Club Cumulus from eight bells until midnight. Once a week, Smeet plays high-stakes Three Man Bramble on East Stave. Every morning, Smeet buys cuts of meat for the pack. His house is guarded by a pack of large hounds, which Smeet walks himself he lets his daughter, Hanna, name the dogs. Smeet is the attorney and property manager for half the Merchant Council, including Jan Van Eck, Karl Dryden, and Naten Boreg.
