Papa Smurf IV (Empath stories)

Empath's grandson, identified as Papa Smurf in a time period that he saw his brother Brainy perish in "Days Of Future Smurfed", is a character that is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. As far as is known, he is the fourth-generation Smurf in Empath's lineage to be identified as Papa Smurf, the leader and father figure of the Smurf Village. Around that time period, the Smurf Village was destroyed in an earthquake that swallowed it into the ground, and though there were many survivors, Papa Smurf couldn't see the generation of Smurfs he was in charge of continue to live in the Smurf Forest anymore. Before he set off with the other Smurfs in search of other lands where they could settle in, Papa Smurf gave his grandfather charge of his son Polaris Smurf (later to be renamed Traveler) when Empath chose to stay behind in the Smurf Forest since he couldn't see himself live anywhere else.
