||Basics||
Playby: Bill Nighy
Name: Carlisle Edward Vincent Smith, III (Goes by Cev)
Age and Birthday: Don’t ask for his Bloody Birthday (59 Year old)
High School Teacher/College Professor/Arts Instructor: College Professor
Subject: Biology
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Divorced for.. Decades
||Appearance & Personality||
Appearance: First off, his hair is greying not actually grey, you wazzock. For the most part it is a blonde colour though Cev refuses to define it. His eyes are also a mystery as they can either appear to be hazel or grey. As for his height, he thinks he is about 6 ft tall. And don’t even ask about his weight, it is rude!
Personality: Drunk, enough said. Cev always has a drink on him--though he tries to be subtle about it. Because he only stops drinking to sleep, his personality highly relies on the alcohol consumption. With it he is boisterous and can come across as being.. Harsh, to put it lightly. He will call people out on their stupidity and swears like a bloody damn British sailor.
Without alcohol though, you do not want to see that side of him. Cev is a mess without some sort of drink in his system. If he tries to give up drinking (as he sometimes is forced to do) it will be a common sight to see him dressed in sweats and crying in a corner. Hence he keeps a drink on him at all times.

||Family & Backstory||
Family members:
-Carlisle Edward Vincent Smith, II--Father, deceased (Cev's father was an abusive drunk that would beat on Cev every day until finally Cev left home. He doesn't like to think about his arse of a father)
-Victoria Bethany Smith--Mother, deceased (Cev never knew her, seeing as how she died giving birth to him. Her death sparked his father's alcoholism)
-Elise Tanner--Daughter, estranged (Elise's mother took her away from him when she was nine. Cev has never seen her since.)
-Madison Tanner--Grandson, estranged (Cev never knew the kid even existed until four years ago but still has yet to meet him.)
-Clarice Tanner--Granddaughter, estranged (Cev never knew the kid even existed until four years ago but still has yet to meet her.)

Backstory:
Cev grew up in London, England where he was the victim of child abuse. His mother died in childbirth, which had left him with his alcoholic father. For sixteen years he was his father’s personal punching bag until the day came where he left and never looked back.
He was a sad individual, not having many friends until he met Pearl Hayes, a girl who made him forget his past. They were married at age nineteen and she birthed him a daughter, whom they named Elise. But soon after the baby blues hit and in order to ignore them and the returning memories of his childhood, Cev began to drink. He loved the alcohol, it made him feel wonderful!
Pearl did not. After ten years of marriage and enduring Cev’s antics, Pearl served him divorce papers and left for America with Elise. He never saw either or them again. Years passed and finally Cev moved to California, finding himself in the town of Salem. He has lived here now for many years and has been teaching at Metric for most of those years.
||Important Relationships||
Pearl Maggie Hayes: Ex-wife. He met her when they were teenagers and fell in love rather quickly, getting married after not even a year of knowing each other. They had Elise and were together for ten years before their marriage hit rock bottom and they split, Pearl taking Elise with her. He hasn’t seen the bitch in… decades.
Leon Jason Tanner Grandson. Cev did not know the existence of his grandchildren until he began to teach at Metric and a college freshman walked through his classroom door.It took nearly the entire year to realize Leon was his grandson and for the next two years he did his best to befriend him, learning what had happened to his daughter when she came to America.
Despite the fact Cev normally pushes his family away, he actively tries to be part of Leon’s life and applauds how well his grandson is doing for himself. In fact, Leon has had quite the good influence on his grandfather.
