Wait, it gets better.  Crowley actually refers to Smoky's "evanescence"
in the passage I quoted explaining the origin of the nickname, and I
still didn't get it.

So Smoky's "evanescence" is also his Evan-S-ence.  And possibly his
Evan-essence as well.  (I may have to take back what I just said about
the narrator being straightforward.)
