Backstory

Dylan Smith was born in Pittsburgh in 1946, the son of a steel mill worker. He followed in his father's footsteps, getting out of trade school just in time to be drafted for Vietnam. There he served with the Army Ordnance Corps, manufacturing and repairing parts for weapons and vehicles, in addition to doing some specialty jobs on the side for the occasional Green Beret or UDT guy. On his return from Vietnam he got employment at the local Steel mill where his father still worked, and got married. His life was not without trouble however, as 5 years later his wife miscarried their first child, and then 7 months later,was killed by a drunk driver. The day after, he was taken to Arcadia.
