Nowadays, he works as a special agent for the Wake, and is one of Nävis' closest friends.

[[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] and [[DiscussedTrope discussed]] in Book 13, in which Nävis participates in a high-octane, highly dangerous Trike race : while Nävis is a good driver, she's far below the other pilots' level and Snivel does most of the driving and crazy stunts ; but since the pilot are prohibited from using any kind of artificial assistance, he has to be carefully hidden into her suit, and Nävis must train extensively so she can hold her own.
