Symington Smythe is a youthful looking (20-30ish?) Human male. He is just over 6' tall, slender build, with a slightly too-large nose and a shoulder-length shock of blond, curly hair. He currently usually wears his hair into a barely manageable ponytail, and his face clean-shaven.
He has adopted an outfit that looks like a cross between Errol Flynn and Phantom of the Opera. He wears his heavy black traveling pants tucked into knee-high black leather boots, which have been polished to a shine and folded down in the 'swashbuckler' style. He wears a black, hip-length jacket of expensive three-piled velvet, and from the open chest and sleeves explode the large fluffy ruffles of his white dress shirt, which would make a peacock proud. Over all of this he throws an expensive-looking black overcloak/cape that hangs to his calves. He usually throws the sides of his cloak back to reveal the garishly bright, deep red lining. In his hand he carries a heavy stick, too small to call a staff, too large to call a cane. This is his Club

Smythe speaks in proper, cultured common. His accent that of the 'upper crust' Aristocratic elite, and his speech reveals his highly educated background. He never uses a single syllable where a sentence will suffice. When he speaks his mannerisms, speech and habit of looking along his nose always make it seem like he is talking down to the person he is talking to, even when he doesn't mean to. (And he often DOES talk down to others, but when he does he makes it obvious!) He is highly intelligent, and automatically presumes that others are not as intelligent as he is. He takes great pleasure in explaining himself to others (in terms that they most likely can't understand), and then smiles condescendingly, as if talking to a child, if they don't get it.

Smythe has recently (partially) recovered from a massive mental trauma, and does not have full memories of his past. And the memories he does have give him nightmares. But while he does not have full recollection of his personal history, he knows a lot about everything else! There are few things you can ask him about that he will not be able to dredge up some info on. (And he will have an opinion, even if he has no info!) Smythe is sharp-eyed and quick to notice small details, and usually combines that talent with his considerable knowledge to be able to jump to a conclusion about something. (Sometimes, his conclusions are even correct!)

Tactics- In his 'former' life he was, among other things, a Conjurer. And this is reflected in his tendency to memorize and use Conjuration/summoning spells in battle.
As most casters, he attempts to prevent getting into close combat if at all possible. And he uses his Transposition spells to get him OUT of it when it happens!
Time permitting, he casts Mage Armor/Prot-evil/etc. before combat, and summons creatures to aid in battle. He tries to place the conjured creatures where they can flank and otherwise best aid the fighters. For particularly tough opponents, he has a variety of spells that he will use to aid in taking down tough guys, and uses his Hand of the Apprentice with his cane (club) to take care of any that are getting too close, or when he runs out of spells.
