Snoz

Appearance
Snoz stands an impressive 5’4” tall with really big lobes, very sharp teeth, and eyes that will drive even the most jaded dabo girl crazy. He wears a red suit with a purple shirt, and lots of jewelry to show off his vast amounts of wealth.

Personality
Snoz is sleazy, a deal maker, shady,, anything for a little extra profit. He’s the perfect Ferengi and lives by the rules of acquisition. He’ll sell his own mother for a strip of gold-pressed latinum!

History
Snoz grew up hustling in the halls, creating dice games in the schoolyard where he wouldn’t only compete with rigged dice to take the latinum from unsuspecting kids but also clipping a fee from the league he ran. He quickly became one of the richest young kids in school, gaining him entrance to the First Bank Ferenginar Business School, where he competed with the best and brightest to make a profit before setting out on his own.

His family was of mediocre income, and eventually, Snoz inherited the assets, which he reinvested into a couple of small vessels he used to run trade between systems. Finding the profit margins to be slim, Snoz got caught up in the underworld with the Orion Syndicate, smuggling weapons, drugs, and people where they shouldn’t be going at all.

This proved much more profitable, and high on his own profits, Snoz expanded his empire by leveraging his investments and eventually getting into the most profitable game of them all -- real estate.

He owned a couple of high-end casinos where the higher-ups of the syndicate liked to visit and do their transactions, where Snoz helped them maintain the utmost privacy for their dealings.

After a while, his profits grew and grew to the point where he was able to purchase his own moon. It wasn’t a very useful moon, just a dead rock in an equally dead system, but he had the bragging rights, which was what was most important.

Then, he got caught up in his own gambling games. One of the leaders of the Orion syndicate wanted a private card game with his people. Snoz joined in to try to get himself some clout, but the Orions rigged the game. The stakes raised and raised, Snoz feeling too good and comfortable with himself as he seemed to be winning. Eventually, the Orion bet his fleet against Snoz’s casinos and moon. Snoz took the bait and lost.

Going from riches to rags, Snoz went back to having one transport to his name. He had to go back to his own smuggling runs and ran into one bad string of luck after another, getting stuck with a lot of junk cargo which cluttered up his ship along the way. He tried, but he could never recapture his glory, and the Orions had just used him for his resources, not willing to help him out in the least.

He began a meager career of cargo trading, not really able to get off the ground. His contacts dried up, he was relegated to the lousier runs. Eventually, he came across an abandoned beetle snuff factory and was able to purchase it.

The machine was amazing. He was able to make premium grade beetle snuff, refined to the point where it would make even the most addicted Ferengi high as a kite. It was illegal in a number of systems because of its high grade, but he made it anyway.

Snoz started selling the snuff from his ship, and soon became a hot commodity. It turned out the Orions didn’t like him though, which he couldn’t understand. He was just getting his business going again to where he had a respectable bank account when they started trying to sabotage him. His contacts were killed. Then, ships chased after him. Snoz veered his ship into the badlands, sending an S.O.S. signal...
