Snipe Is the supporting antagonist in Storm Hawks.

Snipe has been described as a gluttonous gung-ho slob who showers himself in opulence while his subjects slave away in abject poverty. Though Snipe’s flying skills lag behind those of his older sister Ravess, he makes up for it with brute strength in battle.

While he does not have Wallop strength, he can still make a decent fighter. But of course, while he would be the brute force of the Cyclonian Talons, he is, as always, least of all the brains of the team.

Snipe's weapon is a crystal-powered energy mace. Embedded in the iron ball are ten firebolt crystals, and the ball itself is attached to the handle by a retractable chain. Snipe's mace can fire deadly balls of energy in addition to its general capacity for smashing things.

Snipe pilots a Talon Heli-Blade Elite, a motorcycle-sized version of a Heliscooter. Snipe's Elite model is equipped with extra armor plating and several large blades attached to the nose. It also comes with a pair of rapid-fire, crystal-powered blasters, though Snipe doesn't make use of them. In 2 episodes, he had a specialized battle airship built, which was fitted with an excessive amount of weapons, making it nigh-impossible to attack. However, the ships crashed in the Wastelands to due a combination of sabotage by the Storm Hawks and Snipe's own incompetence.

Personality[]

The Brawn to match and contrast his sister's brains, Snipe is a thug, who acts and behaves like a mixture between an imposing macho man and a bratty child. As shown in power grab Snipe enjoys far more humble activities than the other Talons, roughhousing with his underlining and enjoys a good bath, as well as a stress-relieving message. His abilities as a leader are also somewhat questionable and inconsistent being a capable and charismatic leader in the field, yet a complete and bumbling buffoon when given organizational authority, apparently this stems from power going to Snipe's head when he gets it as he does not think things through to the same extent than if it would directly and immediately affect him and his mission.

This raises the question of how he is of a higher rank than many other far smarter commanders beneath him who often pick up the slack for his brains, however it seems as though he is not as dens as is first apparent, rather he is rash, impulsive and possibly even desperate to prove himself when compared to his far smarter elder sister, a relationship which borders of tense and tenuous at the best of times. However what Snipe lacks in brains he makes up for with a surprising amount of resourcefulness, and ingenuity. Another contrast to his sister's refined and effective if straightforward plots.

However this only appears to apply if Snipe is pushed into a corner that whatever intellect is dormant and hidden comes to the surface and makes him a legitimate threat.

Strangely despite Snipe's ego, he seems to have little issue with following the commands when ordered, even if the person issuing than is Ravess who only does so out of pure spite. Indeed Snipe went through the tedious manual tasks that Ravess assigned to him to the best of his ability, and only took to mutiny when he knew for certain that others would support him in said endeavor.
