Smartass (Ru. Умник) is a character who appears in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Background[]

A student from the Department of Physics who dropped out his senior year. He left for the Zone in search of easy money. Likes to show off his "scientific" knowledge and discourse on abstract philosophical issues. It's reason enough for other stalkers not to like him. Overall, a pretty decent fellow. A kind of idealist[non-game. 1].

He was friends with a stalker named Baldy, with whom he found rare artifacts near the Brain Scorcher. During one night, Smartass took away the loot, selling one of the artifacts to Barkeep and hiding the others, and feigning ignorance when asked about it[quote. 1]. This prompts Baldy to hire the Marked One to kill Smartass in revenge.

Appearances[]

Shadow of Chernobyl[]

Baldy initially spawns in the Bar, but eventually moves to the Crooked beam in the Army Warehouses where he will be found alongside Wolf and two other assassination targets, Master and Father Diodor. He practically never moves out of the camp, but may be found in other areas of the game, such as the Dark Valley, depending on circumstances.

  1. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Baldy: "A while ago another stalker and I went looking for an artifact right next to the scorcher. We found so much stuff, even found a couple of artifacts that I'd never seen before, not even pictures of them. So that son of a bitch tricked me. During the last night he snuck off and hid the most valuable artifacts. And then tried to tell me that they disappeared on their own. A couple days ago I saw one of those very rare artifacts at the barkeep's. I was so pissed..."
