Leavenworth "Grandpa" Smedry is an Oculator and the head of House Smedry.[1]

Appearance and Personality

Leavenworth is an elderly man, mostly bald, with only some white, unkempt hair left on the back of his head. He wears a bushy white mustache.[1]

While in the Hushlands, Leavenworth wears a black tuxedo, believing it will make him blend in.

Grandpa Smedry has a very energetic and optimistic personality. He is vigorous and fit, despite his old age.

History

Leavenworth came to Alcatraz's house the day after Shasta Smedry stole the Sands of Rashid. He was late. After saving Alcatraz from a Librarian assassin[2], he led Alcatraz, Sing, Quentin, and Bastille on an infiltration of the downtown library to recover the sands. There, he faced Radrian Blackburn in an Oculator's Duel and lost[3].

Leavenworth spent a few more months in the Hushlands, but separated from Alcatraz when he received a message from Shasta saying that Attica Smedry had gone to the Library of Alexandria. He arrived too late to stop Attica from giving his soul to the Curators of Alexandria or reclaim Attica's possessions before Shasta.

He helped protect the High King from the Librarians when he returned to Nalhalla and sent knights to help the Mokians during the siege of Mokia.

Attributes and Abilities

He has the Talent for always arriving late, which he has great control over. It is a time talent very close to the center of the Incarnate Wheel, for it is very unspecific. He is known to use this Talent to avoid being shot and to survive torture by arriving late to the pain.[4] He is even able to slow down groups of pursuers by switching sides and arriving late to his new target.[5]

Alcatraz figures out that he can use his grandfather's Talent to actually arrive early. He asks him to arrive with Crystin Knights to Mokia much sooner than it would be possible. As a result, Leavenworth was late in reference to the time Alcatraz had given him, but still arrived earlier than he normally would.[6][7]

Leavenworth Smedry is also a very skilled and powerful Oculator. He owns a rich collection of various lenses and has deep knowledge about them. He values knowledge-granting lens much more than combat ones.

Trivia

Grandpa Smedry has a tendency to curse using the names of Brandon's favorite writers. For example, "Rumbling Rawns!" refers to Melanie Rawn.[8]
