Snake (スネーク, Suneeku) is the footman of the Phantomhive household. He was formerly a first-string member and the snake charmer, who specialized in snake dance, of the Noah's Ark Circus. He is said to be half-snake himself, Snake is capable of understanding snakes and allows them to speak through him. He has at least eight snakes: Wordsworth, Emily, Goethe, Oscar, Wilde, Webster, Bronte, Donne, and Keats.

In the Phantomhive Manor murder arc and its OVA adaptation, Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder, Snake is the main antagonist.

Biography

When he was younger, Snake was kept on display, but he was eventually rescued by the other first-string members. Because of his skill with snake charming and because they had no one else capable of doing it, Joker allowed Snake to become a first-string member as well.

Appearance

Snake is a young and lean male. He has golden eyes, short white hair—which includes a distinct cowlick—pale skin interspersed with scales, and a forked tongue. Additionally, Snake always has at least one of his snakes with him.

Previously, when he traveled with the Noah's Ark Circus, Snake dressed in thigh-high boots and a high-collared jacket with baggy sleeves that were long enough to cover his hands. He wore a striped black-and-white shirt under his jacket; it was cinched at the waist and neck, with two belts in each location. When venturing somewhere considerably far, he would slip a solid-colored cape over his jacket and shirt.

As the footman of the Phantomhive household, Snake sports a suit, with a low vest and a ribbon instead of the conventional tie.
