== 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.{{book ref|a1|2}}
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.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
He has the [[Smedry Talent|Talent]] for always arriving late, which he has great control over. It is a time talent very close to the center of the [[Smedry Talent#The Incarnate Wheel|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.{{book ref|a1|16}} He is even able to slow down groups of pursuers by switching sides and arriving late to his new target.{{book ref|a4|3}}
Alcatraz figures out that he can use his grandfather's Talent to actually arrive early. He asks him to arrive with [[Crystallia|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.{{book ref|a4|15}}{{book ref|a4|19}}
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.
== 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,{{book ref|a1|3}} he led Alcatraz, [[Sing Sing Smedry|Sing]], [[Quentin Smedry|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, but was saved by Alcatraz.{{book ref|a1|18}}
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 [[Brig Dartmoor|the High King]] from the Librarians when he returned to [[Nalhalla]] and sent knights to help the Mokians during the siege of [[Mokia]].
During the infiltration of the [[Highbrary]], he played an instrumental role in keeping [[Himalaya]] and her team of Librarians alive by engaging all the Highbrary's fans at top speed, thereby disorganizing a large quantity of books and distracting their assailants. He arrived late to Attica's confrontation with Shasta and Alcatraz, at which point [[Biblioden]] revealed his true identity by shooting him in the head. However, his Talent returned just in time, and he began using it to arrive late to his own death.{{book ref|a5|part=Bastille's Letter}}

* Grandpa Smedry has a tendency to curse using the names of Brandon's favorite writers. For example, "Rumbling Rawns!" refers to [[wikipedia:Melanie Rawn|Melanie Rawn]].{{wob ref|13668}}
