The Supreme Leader of the First Order, the mysterious Snoke has no permanent base of operations, preferring to contact his underlings from a mobile command post.
Snoke is powerful with the dark side of the Force, and seduced Kylo Ren into abandoning the Jedi path to become his apprentice. But Snoke also commands General Hux and the technological war machine the First Order has engineered to destroy the New Republic and Leia Organa’s Resistance.

With much conversation revolving around the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke, seen briefly through a hologram, fans have crafted a ton of theories about the villain. Director Pablo Hidalgo said this question has come up.
Snoke's humanity
Snoke's humanity, as described in the novelization of The Force Awakens states he was:
"Tall and gaunt, he was humanoid but not human."
The revelation that Snoke is not human is a rather big one, and can eliminate quite a few theories.
We've been told that Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi won't necessarily solve the mystery of Snoke.
A new gold look
Snoke is cloaked in beautifully woven golden robes. The concept art was confirmed by the Lego figures, which not only show the golden robes, but a giant black ring on one hand. It is suggested that the ring could be a fraction of a black Kyber crystal. The ancient crystals are naturally in tune with the light side of the force and supposedly reject any users attempting to harness their power for dark purposes.
