LEONARD SNART PROFILE

[ as written by coldtomyflash in this post and used with permission ]

Driving force(s): survival, success

Traits: cunning, resourceful, protective, analytical, self-effacing, ambitious, driven, cutthroat, withdrawn, honorable

–––––––

Len is a survivor, by his own description. He is incredibly tough, can take a lot of pain, and can do things that others might not be able to. Point a gun at his head and he tells you to pull the trigger (this has happened more than once in canon, actually).

[ … ] Len can make the hard call. Len does, has, time and again. He even says it, how he’s made calls for Mick, ‘called some audibles’, lied and did what he felt was necessary. Len will do whatever he thinks is necessary and compartmentalize the rest for later. He has a code he won’t cross, but inside those lines, watch out. And he is not one to negotiate. In this way, I’d say he’s cutthroat. Another word might be ‘hard��� or more appropriately, ‘cold’.

He’s a bit of an adrenaline-junkie too. He does things for the thrill of the chase, the game, the rush. Beyond that though, ambition seems to be a primary motivator for him. He loves stealing not just for the money but because of that, and because he wants to make a name for himself, to be the best. He doesn’t care if Mick burns a 25 million dollar painting, because he’s in it for the name he’s making for himself, to prove that Central City is his ‘playground’. He tells Mick to come on the Legends trip so they can steal things throughout history, and later in 1x06 tells him that they can make their mark as ‘the two baddest sons of bitches in history’ (or something to that effect). Making his mark is a primary driver for Len.

He also reads people exceptionally well. He deduces the Flash’s weakness within a single encounter, figures out Cisco’s too in taking his brother, knows when/how he can trust the Flash to hold up his ends of whatever bargains they make, and understands Mick better than Mick seems to sometimes understand himself. He figures out Ray similarly quickly, what he would do in any given situation, and gets Rip’s number before long. He seems to see right through Sara, and I think he’s got a soft spot for Jax born out of understanding him.

It should be noted that Len is also self-effacing. He doesn’t hesitate to put himself in bodily danger, time and again, whether it’s jumping onto the back of an armored vehicle to burst down the door, jumping out of a train, taking a beating to apologize to Mick, or something so simple as saying it’s “debatable” that he’s a good brother. And again, he tells you to pull the trigger when you’ve got a gun to his head. Len thinks of himself as expendable (even if he won’t let anyone else think of him that way) and effaces the good in himself, denying it time and again because he’s not comfortable with acknowledging the total of his own internal self-worth (because he doesn’t see himself as worthy).

He’s also capable of great violence, up to and including murdering innocents, and people who want ‘out’ of his team (The Flash 1x04). But he has a sense of honor that goes along with that, including a code that means he looks out for those on his crew and avenges them. He has a funny way of staying true to his word, for instance by making sure none of Team Flash were harmed in 1x22 but still betraying them (because he hadn’t promised he wouldn’t, after all). He also hates feeling like he owes someone a debt, but he will repay a debt he feels is owed.

And of course, he’s analytical. He calculates and plans and considers as many angles of something as he can. It’s probably how/why he can read people as well as he does, and how he’s been successful as a thief, but it extends to everything around him. His brain is always going, he can’t help it. It doesn’t mean he values intellect necessarily because I think he prefers to take people and things as they are and consider their individual strengths and weaknesses. Rather, it’s that he’s always thinking and is easily bored, but very patient. This makes him cunning in how he uses the knowledge that he has, coming up with plans that allow him to trump metahumans and more, and he’ll use anything at hand to do it.

Finally, it should be noted that he’s rather protective of anyone he considers his responsibility or part of his close inner circle. He’s incredibly protective of Lisa, first and foremost, and then of Mick, and displayed protectiveness over Jax (being unwilling to hurt him when Jax was turned into a half-bird-thing) and is even protective of Sara, in his own way. Still, he keeps people at arm’s length and doesn’t let them get close most of the time. He’s introverted and withdrawn and likes to study situations and people before/without engaging.

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.

J: I’m Jaxon Davenport but call me Jax. I’m originally from London but moved to LA at five years old when I was adopted but I spent most of my teen years raising myself on the streets of LA.

Interviewer: How would you say people describe you? 

J: Charming, protective, skillful for positive traits. Brutal, devious and impulsive for negative traits. 

Interviewer: How can you or how have you contributed to the society?

J: I run the best security tech company in the country, I’m also one of the youngest CEOs. I keep everybody safe in the society.

Interviewer: What is your greatest weakness? Is there anything you’re afraid of?

J: Greatest weakness? Nothing. I’m not a little bitch and I don’t fear anything. People fear me. 

Interviewer: How was your life growing up? How did you find the society? 

J: I was born in London, England and given up for adoption the minute I was born. I spent the first five years of my life in a sh*tty foster home before I was adopted by an American couple. Once they adopted two other children, they didn’t give a sh*t about me anymore. I was sent to boarding school for the majority of my youth where I did not fit in. I’ve never really fit in, I’ve always been rough around the edges and life hasn’t done me any favors. I ran away and ended up on the streets of LA as a teenager. I learned to be scrappy, to adapt. My parents looked for me for a short while before they decided to focus their attention on their more successful kids. Growing up on the streets taught me how to get what I want, how to fight and how to control situations to my benefit. My aggressive personality and leadership did well for me then and has continued to.

In my late teens, I realized my one of my main skills was intimidation. With my cunning wit and intelligence, I found my true calling. I began to kill people who reminded me of my deadbeat adoptive parents. Killing gave me a sense of purpose and filled me with a sick and twisted joy. I consider myself a weapon of mass destruction. Like a true psychopath, I’m a cold, calculating serial killer. The society wasn’t something I ever thought I’d be a part of, but following a target there and roaming the streets, I felt a weird sense of home. Killing doesn’t pay the bills, so at twenty-three I opened his security tech company, Triple Threat Security. I am feared across LA, because I have nothing holding me to anyone. Hire me to install security cameras in your home, but beware – I could turn on you any day of the week. Watch your back with me around. You don’t have a choice.

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in five years?

J: Good question. I see myself still running the best security tech company in the country, but hopefully, in five years, I have expanded the company and it’s the best in the world. I picture myself still living in LA, but owning a house on the beach with a gorgeous bitch... I mean wife and a kid or six.

Interviewer: Is there a quote or a lyric that you can relate to?

J: “Give me respect, dammit, or get damaged.”

Interviewer: Thank you for taking the time to meet with us today, Jaxon!
