Snoke

DONALD TRUMP IS STUPID

"When I found you, I saw what all masters live to see. Raw, untamed power. And beyond that, something truly special. The potential of your bloodline. A new Vader..." -Snoke to Kylo Ren

Snoke was a force sensitive humanoid alien who served as Supreme Leader of the First Order up until his demise, at the hands of his apprentice, Kylo Ren, in the year 34 ABY. He was powerful practitioner in the dark side, but was not affiliated to the Sith. Snoke is a collector of arcane and ancient lore.

Early Life
Snoke was a humanoid alien from the Unknown Regions, and was the leader of the Attendants, a group that consists of mostly mute alien navigators. At an unspecified time in his life, Snoke acquired a black obsidian stone from the underneath the Sith lord Darth Vader's castle on the planet, Mustafar. He attached the stone to his golden ring, the ring was engraved with glyphs used by the Four Sages of Dwartii.

Snoke would eventually witness the rise and fall of the Galactic Empire. A secret Contingency created by Emperor Palpatine, led to many of the former Imperial officers, nobles, scientists and technologist to flee into the Unknown Regions, and take the form of what would eventually become the First Order. Most of the Imperial officers would have perished while navigating this uncharted space, although the ancient hyperspace trails blazed by Snoke's retinue, as well as Grand Admiral Thrawns extensive knowledge of the Unkown Regions, allowed them to successful navigate and remain there and allow for them to organize themselves.

Seducton of Ben Solo
Snoke was interested in the Skywalker bloodline, he believed that Ben Solo, son of Leia Organa and Han Solo, nephew of the legendary Luke Skywalker and grandson of Darth Vader, to have the perfect balance of the light and dark sides of the Force, within him. although his physical skills had possibly already faded from his fraile body, Snoke's Force-aided abilities of persuasion, manipulation and perception were tremendously strong. He was eventually able to successfully seduce the young Ben, and dubbed him Kylo Ren, and ordered him to destroyed Luke's revived Jedi Order. Although Ren successfully destroyed Luke's Jedi Order, Skywalker managed to escape and go into self-imposed exile and hiding on Ahch-To. As Snoke viewed Skywalker as a threat to him, he tasked Kylo with tracking down the last Jedi.

Powers and Abilities
Snoke was an extremely powerful individual, despite his fraile body, Snoke was effortlessly able to throw Rey across his throne room. Snoke is also able to use Force Lightning, which he used on Kylo Ren when he reacted to his ridicule.
