# Snider — Beyond Thirty character guide

> Snider in Beyond Thirty by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Even Snider

**First appearance:** 0000-i

## Snapshot

A crewman aboard the Victory whose trembling hands and whispered questions mark him as the everyman confronting terrors no Pan-American training prepared him for.

## Who they are

Snider stands among Turck's men when the tiger emerges from the brush, his rifle shaking as he asks what the beast is. He is not a coward but a product of two centuries of safety, and his fear measures the gulf between his civilization and the raw world beyond 30°. His presence grounds the crew as ordinary men whose courage must be forged in an instant or lost forever.
