Jack Smith is Stan Smith's father. For most of his life, Stan believed his father to be a top secret agent in "The Scarlet Alliance". In reality, he was a jewel thief. After the man Stan paid to pretend to be his father died ("Grandpa" Smith), his real father dropped in on the family, literally, jumping from a helicopter while the family was at the funeral of "Grandpa" Smith.

Roger developed a "boy crush" on Jack but the other family members were wary of him. In "Con Heir", Jack returns to Stan's life, taking him out to a gun range. Jack talks Stan into joining him for a mission to, supposedly, stop terrorist activity. When they arrive at the "National Gallery of Art" Stan realizes that they are actually on a jewel heist.

Jack carries around a suitcase with a fake mustache inside, which he is known to wear as a disguise.

It was said that Jack Smith had spent 20-40 years in prison and had been in prison in "Jack's Back", besides being in prison since Stan's childhood it had been believed he was in hiding.

Jack is worried about going back to prison in "Con Heir" saying that to Stan "Do you know what they do to my eye socket in there?"

Personality

At first Jack appeared to be a selfish and greedy man who cared more about wealth and power than his own family. He had a tendency to steal from family members or frame them for crimes that he committed. Jack was a skilled liar who would even lie to his relatives to make him seem like a better person than he actually was.

However Jack also had a softer side and when he realized that Steve saw him as a greater role model than Stan he turned himself in to the police, telling Steve in "Jack's Back" that he'd never been a good father to Stan but he wanted Stan to be a good father to Steve. However when Stan tried to hug him, he kicked him and then explained that he had to put on an air of dominance or the people in prison would "eat him alive". Jack also ruffled Steve's hair affectionately just before being sent to prison and fixed Stan's old bike before he and Steve went on the run, showing that he did feel some affection for family members.

In "Oedipal Panties", Francine recounts the story of Stan's unnamed father leaving him in a flashback. He is also shown in a flashback leaving in "Stan's Best Friend".

Quotes
