Mr Smith is a naming taken directly from the Non Player Characters of the Shadowrun Dark-Futre pen and paper role playing game. Mr. Smith is someone looking for a hired gun, a gang or warriors to send them for pay on a run, a shadow run, from which the name of the game derives from.
In the game you are playing one of these runners. You are as a rigger the driver from the movie Drive, as a street Samurai the guy from the same movie that is the ex of the blond neighbour and gets shot and when a run gets personal you turn John Wick. Your first run might be The Punisher sealing your time in the military and starting a new life as a shadow runner rather outside of the nine to five world.
Mr. Smith in that near dark future is usually from any maga corporation which took the spot of nations. They for well can be also from a cult, a rich family and even any crime syndicate, but they are all looking for outsiders from their own rows to disguise their identity or lacking your expertise.
Today, corporates are not there yet, and it would be a Secret Service or Cult or Syndicate, like Monogols in Hamburg hired a Bulgarian to assassinate a Hells Angels or the CIA under Gen. Petreaus hired Turkish criminals to smuggle Heroin into Europe's US military bases and as big is the spectrum of capability.
That Mr Smith also needs to have more than just money. He needs to meet you and in the dark future that is clubs and bars with a reputation, today it is the national Police V-Mann or Undercover Agent or Informant databases that CIA and Co can access within all NATO. France is for also such reasons no full NATO member, keeping the e.g. Legions data a secret.
Mr Smith than will come with a file like set of information about the job and have pay ready in any form. From untracable, but heavy Gold and Silver coins, to easy spendable but potentially tracable and fortified cash in all currencies, to anonyme but even harder to change and spend crypto transfers the pay sais a lot about the position of both Mr.Smith and the runners in terms of capability.
The Mongols will have payed in fiftyies and hiundreds, all not ironed even so in dedperate need, while these days Gold coins will freak out every Mr Smith to a honest Who the fuck?? and the CIA comes with notes fresh from the printshop's central bank.
Basically, Delta was founded to have the breefing wihin military grounds and the pay lower, like way lower, for the price of giving a shit about being blamed based on uniforms and equipment easily on even UN levels.
Mr Snake is an aggrevator. That would be the bar lady talking shit about anoher guest to get someone into a brawl or the next ex-wife tricking her fresh catch into being sucked of by her besty on the limousine cam right up to false flag actions that recently fell short of making a point like Saddam's Gas trains or Kuwaity babies on hospital floors.
Mr Snake usually does bad pay and finds only idots, but has real good chances ending dead in an ally or yard to be found too late for an open covin haven been food for rats ending as disgusting as his ways are.
PsyOps might have in the past aggrevated using their techniques one or the other Amok by exploiting the mentaly weak into hate. Hitlers Main Kampf is the manifestation of the biggest and worst of all Mr Snakers into sheer Jew hatred.
Mr Snake aggrevates hate and than guides his victims violant outburst by focusing them onto his target.
In the Shadowrun games they are a form of toxic street magicians, in today's Secret Services they are the psycholgists and in cults the gurus.
