Physical Description
Snake has albinism, which means that even for a typically cave-dwelling race he is incredibly pale, not to mention sensitive to sunlight. His eyes are large, red-gold, and slit-pupiled, which helps him filter strong light to be as comfortable as possible-- though he still prefers darkness, if at all possible.

Like his skin, his hair is pale white, and he seems to lack eyebrows. His features are long and thin, with an odd sort of hitch to his jaw when he deigns to open his mouth and speak, revealing a set of tin, needle sharp canines.

He bears a set of twisting, almost arcane tattoos over his rather long, gangly form, the most obvious curling over the left side of his chest and stomach. If these have any particular meaning, he keeps it to himself.

Personality
It's...sort of hard to tell, really.

Snake is intimidating, and it's obvious that he knows it. Sometimes he seems to be relying on that natural reaction to his presence, sometimes...well, sometimes it seems like he's trying to downplay it. But it's hard to say for sure.

All that anyone's really certain off is that he's great to have around at after parties-- he can eat a whole apple in one bite!

Magic/Abilities
Beastspeaking ability with snakes, which is where he gets his name. Or it could be from the fact that he can unhinge his jaw like a snake, which aids his profession as a sword swallower significantly.

Also... Contortionist. Yeah. That's pretty much just what it says on the tin.

 
Relationships
While all the carnival members are family, he has a particular soft spot for Adelaide and acts much like her protective older brother. 

History
Not much is known about Snake before he came to Cirque du Fantasma some five or six years ago. He doesn't talk much, and all he told The Ringmaster was that he didn't have a home to go back to, like most of the performers, and he was fine with the idea of earning his keep through entertainment.
