Shnook was born the only son of Shry and Peence Elshay, a programmer and a textile worker.
He had a good, beloved childhood with not many, but some deep friendships accompanying him growing up.

He became an accountant, due to his affection for numbers, their logical connections and his lack of social skills.
several years after working as in this profession, quite successfully, he found the love for the black, wide space with so much to be discovered and so many more possibilities. After breaking his decision to his parents, friends and colleagues, he quit the accounting way and joined the Pilots Federation.

He still loves numbers, that is why he found trading to be his number one passion to use his spaceship for, but he also knows how to defend himself (or, when it is wiser to run from a conflict) and also enjoys the time alone in his cockpit discovering and mapping stars, systems and planets.

Shnook is a loner who prefers staying in solitude, but can also be a loyal and reliable partner if he decides to let himself into the cooperation.

Sometimes, he is haunted by dreams of what he thinks to have been a previous life, as a bull-like horned being, called "Tauren" coming from a land called "Mulgore". In his dreams he is a magical being, being able to shift shapes and healing his friends while in the form of being a tree.
...For whatever that weird dream might mean in the age of interstellar travel.
