Smythe

Smythe was one of the sailors sent by Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle.

Their leader, Stephen Barr, no longer cared for the objectives of their voyage. He wanted food. Food better than vegetable broth. The crew arrived at Antarctica and followed the tracks of a Wolf into some caves that eventually leaded into the Lost City of Tinnos. They found four meteorite artefects there in the snow. One of them, Paul Caulfield was then attacked and killed by a wolf. The other three, including Smythe, ran back to the ice bridge they had crossed while Stephen brought Paul's dying body away with him. While carrying Paul across the bridge, the bridge collapsed and all five of them slid down the icey slope and eventually back outside. The crew then buried Paul in the snow and they left with their artefacts.

The crew split up around the world, Stephen went back to England presumbley with the Eye of Isis artefact. Smythe went to the South Pacific with the Ora Dagger, even though Henderson was the one to pick it up first. Smythe was killed and eaten by the tribesmen there and the Ora Dagger was presented to their god, Puna.
