Personality: Snowman is not the talkative sort. In fact, he speaks so little some people mistake him for a mute. The only time he ever speaks is when he feels the very strong need to voice his opinion. He thinks before he acts, but he can be a bit of a show-off when it comes to fighting.

History: Born in 1652 in China, Snowman garnered his nickname from the fact that he had ocular albinism (which affects only the eyes). Despite the vision problems it gave him in early life, he was trained by his family to become a warrior. The previous generations of the Kobejitsu family -- his uncle had been part of the ill-fated House of Erebus -- had traditionally been fierce warriors. Snowman is no exception.
He spent half a century at a monastery in Shaolin, training to become a warrior well-versed in the marital arts and swordplay. After his formal training, he wandered around China and Japan, picking up other styles of fighting, some of which his teachers could never been able to teach him.
Returning to his family, Snowman fought with the Kobejitsu forces until he was recruited into the Bloodpack.
