Assistant counselor

The assistant counselor is a role given specifically to Empath in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series shortly after his final return from Psychelia. In some ways, the role is identical to that of being the assistant leader of the Smurf Village, as Empath would oversee all activities in the Smurf Village in the same capacity as Papa Smurf and would give orders as well as relay any specific orders from Papa Smurf. However, the role of assistant counselor in more in the manner of providing specific counsel unto a Smurf who asks for it, helping to resolve situations that that Smurf may be having with himself or with other Smurfs.
