Smee (スミー, Sumī?) is the alias of a man whose real name is unknown. He is a minor character of The Promised Neverland. Smee is a friend of Norman and a former ally of the Demons, who he eventually turned his back on. According to Norman, Smee was killed in a purge orchestrated by Peter Ratri.

History
Much of Smee's past is a mystery, but it is known that Smee was born on the "Meditation Side" of the human world. Sometime before 2032, when Krone was still an orphan in Grace Field House, she one day released a lantern into the sky with her friends, what was attached to the lantern was a note written by Krone, asking the receiver what the outside world is like. After the lantern's fire ceased and fell onto the ground somewhere outside Grace Field, an unknown figure picked up the note and read its content, when he understands how it was from one of the children (Krone), he called the note "interesting".

The unknown figure who read Krone's letter turned out to be Smee; this is proven true as how the figure was shown to wear circular glasses and a lab coat, and how it would be logical why Smee would purposely drop the Promised Pen for Krone, choosing her as the next user of the pen and entrusting her to make use of the pen's abilities (which she did not manage to find out).

During Krone's training days as a caretaker, Smee purposefully dropped his pen along a hallway after talking to a demon who worked in the plantations in order for Krone to claim it.

A few years later, when Norman was held in Λ7214, Smee lent the latter help as they sought to destroy Λ7214, though the two succeeded in doing so, Smee died in the end during a purge orchestrated by Peter Ratri. During the time when Smee was still alive, he disclosed information about his network to Norman. In the end, Norman took over his network and has lived in there ever since.

Personality
Not much is known about Smee's personality, but as a supporter of William Minerva, he likely disagreed with children being raised for food and experimented on. This is shown when he gave Krone and Norman Promised Pens and helped the latter escape from Lambda 7214. Despite his efforts to help children escape, Smee worked as a scientist at Lambda, a farm where children are experimented on, and he actively participated in the experiments being performed on the children there.

Appearance
Not much is known about Smee's physical appearance, but Smee was shown in Krone's flashback to be a young man of slender build with light-colored hair which is similar to Norman's, he donned a pair of large, circular glasses and is seen wearing a laboratory coat and dark-colored pants.

Norman
Smee introduced himself as a supporter of William Minerva to Norman. Eventually, Smee became an ally of Norman and played a major role in helping the boy escape Λ7214.

Krone
Smee and Krone have never met face to face, but they have indirectly communicated with one another. When Krone was a child, she and some other children sent lanterns with notes attached outside of Grace Field. Smee found Krone's note and called it "interesting". Years later, when Krone was training to become a "Sister" at Grace Field Headquarters, Smee purposely dropped a Promised Pen for Krone to find.
