You think you can turn him? Pathetic child, I cannot be betrayed. I cannot be beaten. I see his mind. I see his every intent! Yes, I see him turning the lightsaber to strike true. And now, foolish child, he ignites it, and kills his true enemy!
—Snoke's final words, to Rey and Kylo Ren[src]

Snoke, was a mysterious humanoid alien male with scant details regarding his origins, who ruled the First Order as Supreme Leader during the New Republic Era. Possibly unaware of his origins, Snoke was artificial genetic construct, created on the planet Exegol by the resurrected Dark Lord of the Sith and Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious with the help of his loyal Sith Eternal. he was designed to be Sidious's proxy in power, and while he possessed a free independent mind, he was still influenced by his creator. He was eventually given the additional purpose of grooming and molding Ben Solo into master of attack and cunning; a worthy heir, tested if he had the capacity of inheriting the Sith legacy, and thus allowing his unseen master to sidestep training the Skywalker heir himself as a dark apprentice and turning the risk to his safety that would have been imposed onto another.





Biography

Early Life

Creation

My boy. I made Snoke.
—Darth Sidious, to Kylo Ren

Through genetic tampering, and dark science, Snoke was engineered on the forgotten hidden Sith world of Exegol in the Unknown Regions by the resurrected Emperor Palpatine and the Sith Eternal that served him.[1] Additional genetic copies of him, his clone "brothers", were also eventually created and stored in the Sith Citadel located on the planet, and kept in a hibernated state as they rested in vats of nutrient fluid.[2] As a result of the crude experimentation that yielded his existence, his body was twisted in appearance and had extensive scarring that made it impossible to identify his species.[1]

Heart of Darkness

I was not born Snoke. I became Snoke.
—Snoke, to Ben Solo

His true name apparently was not "Snoke", but it's what he realized to be his truest self, and so that is what he became.[3] In Snoke's younger life, many years before the Cold War, he learned a lesson about the Force: that visions of the future were a dangerous endeavor to understand. He also had learned the lost truths of the force from the Unknown Regions, his master had failed to discover.[4]

Snoke ring

Snoke's ring was an arcane relic.

Despite his own main creator being a Sith Lord,[1] and the Dark Side of the Force was within him, Snoke was not a Sith himself,[5] and he would deny any Sith lineage.[2] And despite the purpose behind why he was created,[1] Snoke trained at least one other individual as an apprentice in the ways of the dark side.[6] He also became a seeker or arcane and ancient lore,[7] and established bases around the galaxy, observatories, to house his gathered obscure objects.[1] One of which was an ancient golden ring engraved with glyphs of the Dwartii, on which he would later affix a black obsidian stone salvaged from beneath Fortress Vader on Mustafar and wear it on his left index finger.[5]

He would even be no stranger to battle, gaining his own legions of dead, of which's ranks were filled by those who underestimated him.[4] With this, he of course had suffered injury. One in particular being a wound that partially split his head.[8] Snoke eventually witnessed the Galactic Empire's fall, and became aware of why it had truly failed: Darth Vader's failure to his son and his sentiment that ultimately destroyed the legendary dark lord.[9]

Personality and traits

Snoke was a towering genetic strandcast male with a broken build,[2] standing at seven foot, two inches. His age was unknown.[1] However, having been created after the Battle of Endor,[2] he was 30 years old at most, at the time of his death in 34 ABY. He had pale skin, large blue eyes, a bald head with little loose grey hairs, and large mutilated looking hands with black sharp fingernails.

Powers and abilities

Snoke's power

While not a Sith, Snoke nonetheless mastered the ways of the dark side.

While not a Sith,[5] Snoke was still highly attuned to the Dark Side of the Force and a master of its ways and teachings, and an extremely impressive and powerful force-sensitive overall, equally as impressive and terrifying. As such, his Force abilities were not explicitly of the Sith heritage his creator, Emperor Palpatine, embodied as Darth Sidious.[1]
