Snatch is a sellsword of the Second Sons. His rank is serjeant. He is one handed and chews sourleaf.[1]

Appearance

He is skinny and stubble-jawed, with teeth and fingers stained red from sourleaf. He has a hook where his right hand should be.[2]

Recent Events

A Dance with Dragons

He, along with the rest of the Second Sons, went over to the Yunkai'i when Brown Ben Plumm thought Daenerys Targaryen's cause was lost.

Runaway slaves Tyrion and Penny make Snatch's acquaintance when they arrive to join up with the company. Snatch immediately recognizes them as the dwarfs that Ben tried to buy on the auction block. He notices the big man with them (but fails to recognize that it is Ser Jorah). Snatch allows the three of them through to see Ben.[2]

After Tyrion joins the Second Sons, he and Penny meet Snatch by the cook tent. He asks them if they’ve ever killed a man. Tyrion volunteers that he has, he swats them down like flies. When Snatch asks with what Tyrion replies, "An axe, a dagger, a choice remark. Though I'm deadliest with my crossbow".

When Snatch asks how many men he’s killed with a crossbow Tyrion tells him "Nine" - as surely his father counts for a least that many, Lord of Casterly Rock, Warden of the West, Shield of Lannisport, Hand of the King, husband, brother, father, father, father.

Snatch snorts “Nine” and spits out a mouthful of red slime. It lands on Tyrion’s knee. He whistles for Kem who comes running. He tells Kem to take Lord and Lady Imp to the wagons to have Hammer fix them up with some company steel.

He then turns back to Tyrion and Penny and says,

We never had no bloody dwarfs before, but boys we never lacked for. Sons o’ this whore or that one, little fools run off from home to have adventures, butt boys, squires, and the like. Some o’ their shit might be small enough to fit imps. It’s the shit they were wearing when they died, like as not, but I know that wont bother fuckers as fierce as you two. Nine, was it? [3]

He shakes his head and walks away.
