St-John Smits was MarTar Enterprises' head of security. Like many in his profession, he was a GROPO during the Earth-Minbari War. Mr. Smits was working under Ta'Ren on Babylon 5 until 2263, when he started to fall out of favour with his employer after the Narn began to associate with the Techno-Mage Enoch, who was operating on the station under one of his many aliases. After suffering the embarassement of having his employer poisoned on his watch, Mr. Smits was transferred to serve under Mark Baggett on Beta IX, relinquishing his position on Babylon 5 to Enoch.
Carlson, Enoch and Ta'Ren caught up with Mr. Smits on Beta IX in 2264. When together they investigated a raider cell which led them to an alien station orbiting the neighboring dead homeworld of the Markab, it was revealed "Mr. Smits" was in fact a Dark Minbari impostor. The real Mr. Smits was on that very station, under the spell of a strange alien parasite. Mr. Smits was rescued and moved to Minbar to receive treatment.

Mr. Smits apparently eluded the vigilance of his Minbari caretakers sometime in 2265, when he heard the news of Ta'Ren's disappearance. Keeping his parasitic infection under control with massive amounts of alchool, he reunited with former squad-mates to look for his former employer.
He finally reunited with Ta'Ren when he submitted his services to Va'Nur of the Ta'Var cartel who had hinted Captain Thomas Carlson was an associate of his.
