Agelast has to do with a person who never laughs. I don't know if it also refers to smiles, but definitely who never
laughs. I also wonder, because I've known some, if it
is genetic, or could be genetic. Curious word and more
curious concept. The adjective would be agelastic, I presume.

Very interesting word. It's a bit rare, but does have its uses.
It's not in dictionary.com, so I went further to see if I could find out more. Turns out it's a 3-syllable word, not 2. A-ge-last. It's Greek in source.

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
Just for laughs...
While an agelast never laughs, a hypergelast laughs excessively. When they meet they annihilate each other like matter and anti-matter. Poof! Gone!
