Weft has expressed approval of Snags's prowess. [1] Snags has exceptional reflexes (good even for a slasher) - for example, in catching birds in flight, as in training exercises.
Snags seems to like being cool and dramatic. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Whether this is a personal preference or a result of careful training is unknown.
Snags claims his name refers to "snag" meaning a problem or holdup, and that he causes these for other people. Since his face was partially paralysed, which his superiors refused to have repaired on the grounds that the lopsided smile makes him look more suitable for his role, Snags's name can also be said to refer to the fact that his lip sometimes hitches on his tooth.
