Snoke

was a strandcast humanoid male who ruled the First Order as Supreme Leader during the New Republic Era. An artificial genetic construct, Snoke was created on the planet Exegol by the resurrected Dark Lord of the Sith and Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious. Possibly unaware of his origins, he was designed to be Sidious' proxy in power, and while Snoke possessed an independent mind, his actions and goals were nonetheless planned by the Emperor.

Possessing powerful abilities as a Force wielder, Snoke gained control of the First Order, a hermit state in the Unknown Regions that began as a remnant of the Galactic Empire. Despite holding absolute power as Supreme Leader, Snoke allowed General Armitage Hux to lead the First Order military in his name, preferring to concentrate on spiritual matters of the Force. With the turning of Padawan Ben Solo—grandson of the Chosen One Anakin Skywalker—to the dark side of the Force, Snoke gained as his apprentice the heir to the powerful Skywalker bloodline, who adopted the persona of Kylo Ren after renouncing and destroying the Jedi Order. Neither Snoke nor Ren were considered as Sith; nevertheless, they were both strong with the dark side.

During the last days of the Cold War, Snoke directed his apprentice to hunt and destroy Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, Ren's uncle and former master, determined to complete the Great Jedi Purge with Skywalker's death as the last Jedi. Additionally, Snoke authorized a preemptive strike against the New Republic that resulted in the destruction of the Galactic Senate and the outbreak of the First Order/Resistance War in 34 ABY. While pursuing his objectives to destroy both the Resistance and Skywalker, Snoke was assassinated by Ren who sought to rule the galaxy as the new Supreme Leader. In the end, Snoke fulfilled the purpose of his creation by serving as the last catalyst in Ren's training, thereby allowing Sidious to sidestep the Sith tradition that required an apprentice to kill the master in order to achieve full ascendancy to the dark side.
