Captain Snow was a large snowy owl who lived on the outskirts of Mossflower Woods. He was an old friend of Squire Julian Gingivere, but the two separated after a fierce argument regarding his feeding habits, which resulted in Gingivere barring him from the barn where they had previously lived together. During a storm, he became trapped under a large tree but Basil Stag Hare came to his rescue and the grateful bird gave him his medal. Matthias sought him out to learn the whereabouts of the snake Asmodeus Poisonteeth.
