Snoke (New Canon)

"The dark side of the force is a weapon used by the ones so called 'Sith'. A pathetic and arrogant way of such a divine power that deserved so much more, not to be used as some way of power, but as a way of ascending above those around you. That is the way of the dark side. And 'I' have done so."

Snoke, later Supreme Leader Snoke was a Humanoid Alien born somewhere outside the core galaxy and in another galaxy's far reaches and would be responsible for the creation of the Dark Side of the force. Snoke would be force sensitive and raised in a brotherhood of other force sensitives which would believe in the Gray force and balancing the evil and good. In his life, Snoke would start to lose faith in the brotherhood after they had made the so called Light side of the force which would dominate all religion in Snoke's galaxy. After 40 years, Snoke would leave his brothers and meditate for many months, gaining wisdom and power when he would eventually come to realise that his Galaxy's religions would corrupt many of its citizens and would start many revolts against them. Angered, Snoke would plan on stopping the Light side from corrupting the Galaxies own beliefs.

Many years after gaining power and wisdom, Snoke would confront the leaders of the Light side's religion and council and embrace his anger for what they had done to the Galaxy, demanding change. Snoke's old brothers would not agree to making any change and would tell Snoke that he was to stop his protest against them or he would be locked away as punishment. Snoke would then use his anger and kill all of his old brothers mercilessly, finding that he had far more power with his anger and emotion. After he had committed a massive crime against the Galaxy, he would flee, exiling himself on a planet that only he knew of in the far reaches of his known Galaxy where no one would find him. When reaching this destination he would proclaim himself the Dark Lord, known as a myth by his own people and would hold immense power and practice it on his planet. Snoke would remain here for many more centuries, gathering even more power and studying his own ways of the dark side.

400 years after the murder of the Light side Council, Snoke would find ways to observe the galaxy through other peoples eyes and sensing all major events happening inside of it. When he had realised that the galaxy embraced the Light side far more than ever before, Snoke would gather the power of all of the planets after draining a lot of his own life essence, and with his immense anger he would let out a wave of dark side energy which would wipe out every single living thing in his Galaxy, including a majority of its planets. After this, Snoke would be extremely injured and exhausted, not realising how powerful his anger was and shared the pain that all the life forms did when he had indirectly killed them all, giving him burns, scars and disfigurements on his body and face. From this, Snoke would create a chamber known as The Texar, a large healing chamber in which he would meditate and heal himself physically and mentally for the coming years whilst he would discover the existence of another Galaxy, and study its events and individuals. The dark side nexus of the deaths that Snoke caused had even swept into this Galaxy that he had found and would become a way of the force.

After millennia of studying and gaining unlimited amounts of wisdom, Snoke would contact Darth Sidious through means of the force and influence him to find out his location, until Sidious would later communicate to Snoke, with Snoke telling him of how he was the source of the Dark Side of the force and would come into the Galaxy to give the Sith knowledge and power if only they were to seek him out just outside the Unknown Regions. Sidious would do so and make a contingency plan to retreat the Empire's forces to the location of Snoke if the Empire was to fail to protect its Emperor. After Grand Admiral Thrawn would give the route of the Unknown Regions to its leaders after Palpatine's death, he would be onboard the Eclipse-class Star Dreadnaught, the Emperor's personal flagship and would send out a signal to the most loyal of the Empire's leaders. After meeting at the rendezvous point on the Eclipse, the remaining Imperials would fly to the location of '''Snoke. '''Snoke would greet them all on his planet in the shadows, but forcing Armitage Hux to execute his own father, Brendol Hux, taking the rank as General of the New Order. Snoke would tell the Imperial leaders to stay on the planet and prepare the new technologies which were being developed by Thrawn for later use in the First Order and proclaimed himself Supreme Leader of the First Order.

Personality and traits
Snoke would be seen as an intelligent, wise but cruel man after his fall to the dark side of the force. He would also be very familiar with military strategy from his observations on galactic history and would be a skilled commander as well as dark side master.
