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 very mysterious man and a friend of Norman and a former ally of the Demons, whom 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. At some point he got a job working at Grace Field Headquarters as a researcher/scientist. In 2029, when Krone was still a child living at an unknown plantation at 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, Smee picked up the note and read its content, when he understands how it was from one of the children, he called the note "interesting".

During the Ratri clan's hunt for James Ratri, Smee was one of the men who participated in the search. He was one of the men in the group that ultimately eliminated James, and was the one to deliver his final words to his brother, Peter Ratri.

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

Several years later, Smee began working as a researcher/scientist at Lambda 7214. When Norman was transferred to Lambda, Smee lent the latter help as they sought to destroy Lambda, 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 were 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 short light-colored hair similar to Norman's, he donned a pair of large, circular glasses and is seen wearing a white laboratory coat with black pants and white shoes.

On some occasions when he was not working, Smee was shown wearing a short hooded cape with lacy ends that has three vertically aligned diamond-shaped patterns on the back. Norman is later seen wearing this same cape after his escape from Lambda 7214.

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.
