Elsbeth Snow was raised in New Haven, CT by an aunt and uncle, Sebastian Isaiah Snow (deceased) – an architect – and Elenore "Nell" Angela Snow (deceased) – Professor of Anthropology, Yale University. A birth certificate at Tale-New Haven Hospital gives her date of birth as August 9, 1996 and lists her stepparents as her birth parents. Elsbeth Snow is an only child, and she has no known surviving immediate family. Her stepfather was the nephew of Hera Snow (believed deceased) of Boston, MA, heiress to the Snow fortune.

Elsbeth Snow suffers from oculocutaneous albinism and a number of associated health issues, including poor eyesight (photophobia, amblyopia) and sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.

An exemplary and highly intelligent student, Elsbeth Snow was to have begun Yale University in the autumn of 2014, of a full scholarship. In high school, she demonstrated an aptitude for music, chess, mathematics, and athletics. In 2013, she received a perfect score of 1600 on her SAT and has a recorded IQ of 161.

Sebastian and Nell Snow were both murdered in July 2014; Elsbeth's Snow's whereabouts during the eight months immediately following her stepparent's deaths is currently unknown.


In February 2015, Snow appeared in Darkside, Ealdwic, panhandling and living on the street. She was found to be in possession of Richard Sonnac's business card and brought to his office by a Templar agent. Suffering from a high fever, bacterial pneumonia, and malnutrition, Snow was admitted to the infirmary, where she spent three weeks recovering. After the first week, she was repeatedly interviewed and made rather outlandish claims as to her whereabouts in months proceeding her parents' murder. Elsbeth Snow told investigators that she was taken from this plane to the mythical "Vale of Pnath," the Underworld or Dream Land domain from which the Al-Ghūl (ghouls) are believed to originate. She claimed that she was "rescued" from her stepparents attacker by her birth mother, a woman named Eisaa, though she refused to provide any additional details about this individual. Snow claims to have no memory of returning to Earth. Temple Hall physicians and geneticists were able to confirm that she is, indeed, a human-ghoul hybrid.

In the spring of 2015, Elsbeth Snow became an agent of the Templars, despite opposition by some members of the Inquisition, dissenters who viewed her ghoul heritage as a blasphemy and a security risk and who pointed to the Snow family's long-standing alliance with the Illuminati. Her acceptance was facilitated in large part by the intervention of Richard Sonnac, who became her advocate during her convalescence. She was found to have a surprising aptitude for hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship, as well as an uncanny talent for mimicry. Together these abilities made her an effective candidate for wetwork and "conflict resolution." By May 2015, she had been placed undercover in Berlin, infiltrating a Neo-Nazi organization known as Schwarze Sonne. She remained active in this role until April 2017, when she was abruptly discharged from active duty.

Currently, Elsbeth Snow is employed by the London College of Music as a piano instructor.


Elsbeth Snow's final operation with the Templars, leading an extraction team in tunnels below Berlin, ended disasterously, with the deaths of several agents. She herself was left a paraplegic and blind in her right eye. Until...she wasn't anymore.


Everyone knows someone. What groups, people, friends, and relatives does your character have ties to? Would other characters know them from a favorite hangout or a particular organization?
