Snoke (Crimson Canon)

Snoke, a force sensetive male, was a Varderian who was immsely poweful in the Dark side of the Force. Born on Varderis, Snoke's affinity with the Force was noticed from a young age, and was so prominent, he was mistaken to be the Chosen One. Snoke used some of the most forbidden powers defending his home, which cost him his people.

Many Years later, Snoke was the shadowy Supreme Leader of the First Order, who ruled from his mighty vessel Supremacy. Although he practiced the ways of the dark side, Snoke was not a Sith; that order perished with the deaths of the last two Sith Lords, Darth Sidious and Darth Vader. Like the Sith, Snoke sought to achieve the complete destruction of the Jedi Order, which he saw as a symbol of hope that could thwart his plans of galactic conquest. Snoke prefered to operate from a great distance, relaying orders though his vast network of underlings.

Biography
* Pre-Birth*

Around a year before the birth of Snoke, Force-sensitives from across the Galaxy and beyond fealt the unheard of Rift in the Force, heralding the arrival of a being unnaturally strong in the force, a phenominal event not seen in over 12 million standard years.

Apon birth of Snoke on his homeworld of Varderis,deep in the Unknown Regions, the Rift was dealt once again, but was soon cut off, San Varderis was surrounded by a rare Force Nebula known as the Varderian Pearl which sheilded Snoke's connection to the force from the rest of the Galaxy.

From the moment he was born, Snoke's parents, Neeina and Obarn felt somthing different about Snoke. While he had only a minor birth deformity in his cheek, he seemed to give off power. They took his to the wise leader of the Varderians, Aldar, to detrimene what he was. Aldar sensed though the Force the power of the child, and simply warned Obarn and Neeina that given the right childhood and experinces, he could be either the greatest and most powerful hero, or a grave threat to the entire Galaxy. His mother then named him "Snoke" after the saviour of the Varderian race, Snokearius.

For the next ten years, Snoke trained under Aldar in the ways of the force, learning to use it to protect his people. One day, a ship containing a group of Chiss crashed on Varderis, and Snoke led the investigation, and studied the newcomers on their arrival. He became greatly invested in the Chiss people's story, and spoke to their leader, Ahara'ran'kai, who informed Snoke on recent Galachic History. Snoke wanted to know more, and Eventully, Ahara decided to stay, telling Snoke of the mystic Jedi, and their war fought against the Sith. Snoke became obseesed with the lore and history of the Galaxy, and used ornate to father his studies into the force and the history of his own people. When he was not learning from his new tutor and friend, Snoke would spend hours of the day in his family worshop tinkering away with Droids and Datapads.

Snoke continued to train with Aldar, and one fateful night, Snoke used the force to lift an entire bulid into the air. But his move was reckless, as he was seen by a citizen, who identied him as the son of Obarn and Neeina. A Mob rushed to their home, demanding to know why the family kept Snoke's powers secret when he could have helped them instead. Ignoring Aharars warning, Snoke rushed to his family home. Obarn stood outside, trying to clam the raged mobsters. One pushed forwards, and Obarn punched the man down. In the confusion, a shot was fired, and a fight broke out. Snoke came in time to stop the chaos, but was not in time to prevent his father being shot before his eyes. In a moment of rage, Snoke levitated the entire crowd, using Force Crush to crush the heart of the man who shot his father, before dropping the others to the ground. As the others fled, Snoke ran to his father, but Obarn was adlready dead. Aldar soon came, and warned Snoke not to have an outburst of power like that again, as it was dangerous to everyone, and it could have killed more than a single person, marking that unamed man, Snoke's first kill.

Eight Years Later, Snoke was a public hero. Now coming to grasp his power, he prevnetedand ened civil war on Varderis, saved millions from disaster, and kept the people safe from possible unknown threats that faced them. Snoke at one point, along with Ahara'ran'Kai, stopped a platoon of Pirates from finding their homeworld, via Snoke's erasing the memory of the Star System from every single Pirates memory. The Pirates left unkownly.

Facing the Invaders from Beyond
Snoke was working on a Chiss Protocol Droid in his family workshop, fixing the droid using the force. He was interrupted in his efforts when Marzo, the Commander of Varderian Miltery burst in, telling Snoke he was needed immediately. Before Snoke could ask why, he saw: A massive fleet of dark ships suspended in orbit above his planet. Marzo informed Snoke that the invaders had already made contact, referring to their fleet as Galaxy's Doom. As Marzo went to make battle preparations, Snoke went to Aldar for guidance. Without warning, the invaders rained missiles apon the main city of Varderis, prompting Snoke to order Ahara to evacuate the people to Varderis' Moon for safety until the threat was over. Snoke soon faced the enemy, as ground troops landed all around him. Snoke dealt with his foes quick, using the Force to make their bullets bounce harmlessly away, and using Force Push to send the soilders flying back. At times, he unleashed a Force Crush, killing the invader. He found himeself surrounded suddenly.

One Inavader launched a javelin at him, which Snoke sent flying back to impale the Inavder in the head. The others attacked, but Snoke killed them all with ease. Looking up at the fleet as it devasted his home, he fealt the Force Nebula near Varderis. This gave the Force User an idea. Concentrating all his energy, Snoke focused on the Nebula, and then, began to use Force Drain, pulling the Force from the Nebula into his own body, causing him to scream in pain. Aldar sensed a disturbance in the force, and saw what Snoke was doing. He rushed to stop his student, but it was too late. Snoke destoyed the Nebula, absorbing all its nerdy, before unleashing a blast of power as Aldar yelled out. The blast incinerated the nearby ships, the sheer energy reducing the Ships of the fleet to Ash. Nearby Invaders vaporised, and when the dust cleared, what little of the fleet known as Galaxy's Doom remained was retreating. Snoke turned to see Aldar, but saw his master horrified. The ground around Snoke had blackened, the grass wilted and dead, drained of all life, the entire area the same. Aldar tried to use the force but couldn't. He could only mouth "what have you done" before collasping, turing black and crumbling to dust.

All around Snoke, others met similar fates. Horrified at what he had done, Snoke rushed to his home to find his mother on her bed, fataly wounded as a result of the Invader attack. Neeina said that even her, without a connection to the force, sensed Cold, Fear and Death. She looked at her son, and prayed he was not the cause, before dying in Snoke's arms. Snoke buried her outside, and returned to the dust that was Aldar. He picked single hardned crystal from his masters remains, and took it with him, as a memento of what this day had cost him.

Exile
Snoke looked for Ahara but could not find her anywhere. Fearing her death, Snoke decided to leave, taking with him his own belongings aboard a Cruiser called Red Arrow. Snoke left his dying world behind, and went deep into the Unknown Regions, until he reached a planet which he sensed held a strong connection to the force. He soon learned from the Red Arrows charts that the planet was called Moriban

Cold War
Following Skywalker's disappearance, Snoke assigned Ren to hunt down the last Jedi, knowing that as long as Skywalker lived, the Jedi and thus hope lived. In 34 ABY, Ren's search led him to Jakku, where he learned that the final piece of the map to Skywalker was in the possession of the astromech droid BB-8 Snoke ordered the droid's capture or destruction, preferably the former. Despite the efforts of the First Order, BB-8 managed to escape Jakku aboard the Millennium Falcon. Ren and General Hux later returned to Starkiller Base to communicate with Snoke via hologram. Hux proposed using Starkiller Base's superweapon to destroy the New Republic government, which was backing the Resistance, an undertaking which Snoke authorized. He then spoke with Ren privately, asking if he had felt an awakening in the Force. He ordered Ren to kill his father to overcome his temptation by the light.

Following this, he drained what remained of the Force power from the ruins of the Hosinan system, attempting to use the power to hasten the healing of his own twisted body.

Shortly after the destruction of the Hosnian system, resulting in the eradication of the New Republic government and a portion of its fleet, Ren invaded Takodana in search of BB-8. He later deemed the droid unnecessary as he captured a scavenger named Rey, who had seen the final piece of the map to Skywalker's location. Snoke was later upset to hear that the girl resisted Ren's interrogation. Ren defended himself by explaining that Rey was strong in the Force, albeit untrained. As the Resistance base had been discovered, Snoke ordered Hux to destroy the Resistance before they could find Skywalker, and for Ren to bring Rey to him. However, Ren never got the chance, as Rey managed to escape with the help of her new powers. Subsequently, Starkiller base. was infiltrated by Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Finn, who managed to lower the shields through the aid of a captured Captain Phasmato allow the Resistance fleet to attack the base. Solo then tried to bring Ren back to the light, only for his own son to murder him. In rage and grief, Chewbacca wounded Ren and blew a hole in the superweapon's thermal oscillator, allowing Resistance pilot Poe Dameron to fly in and destroy it, causing catastrophic damage, preventing the solar energy from being contained. When the destruction of Starkiller Base was inevitable, a frantic Hux reported this to Snoke who was remarkably blase about it, instead ordering the general to bring Ren to him in order to complete his training.

Eventually, in spite of the loss of Starkiller Base, the First Order managed to gain enough victories in the conflict that Snoke decided to risk coming out of the shadows to personally lead the First Order to potential dominance over the Resistance.

Personality and Traits
Supreme Leader Snoke was a secretive, enigmatic figure who coveted arcane lore. Rather than establish a permanent base of operations, he preferred governing the First Order in a mobile command post from where he could contact his subordinates, though his exact location was unknown. He was both wise and cunning, having risen to power by undermining the First Order's leading officials through guile.

Powers and Abilities
Snoke was one of the most powerful Force-sensitives in Galatic History. So, he possesed a wide range of skills he could perform with the force. He had abilities held by most trained in the Force, such as Force Push, Force Pull Mind tricks and the power to make his own body levitate. But he held much more powerful abilities under wraps. Alongside Force Choke and the rare Force Lightning, Snoke could erase and control Minds with the force, bending even the most unwilling to his will, or concinvg them an event happened when it did not, or vica versa. He could also bridge Minds to create Force Connections.

Snoke also used Force Crush as a way to kill his enemies, but by far his most devastating ability was Force Drain. Using the power, Snoke could pull the very medichlorians from being, or even an entire Planet into his body, rendering the victim a lifeless husk. This put emmese strain on his body however, and began to destroy his physical form entirely.

Snoke had stratigic prowess, and was a respected (if a bit extreme) miltery commander. He was far more powerful in the force than psychical strength, due to the state of his body, but had his Elite Praetorian Gaurd to defend him in his later years.
