Bio:

Picture by Indie Revolver presumed to be Supreme Leader Snoke concept art

Not much is known about Supreme Leader Snoke. He is thought by many to be the primary villain in the upcoming Star Wars Trilogy.  He is thought to be a powerful Sith.  It is the voice of  Snoke that provides the back drop to the film's first trailer saying:

There has been an Awakening.

Have you felt it?

The Dark Side...and the Light.

This would indicate that he is highly intune with the force.

He is also thought to be the leader of either/both the First Order and the Knights of Ren.  The Knights of Ren being an order of dark Jedi like the Sith.  The Knights of Ren use the title Ren in their names in a similar manner as the Sith used Darth.  

At some point Snoke is able to influence Ben Solo a jedi apprentice of Luke Skywalker to turn toward the dark side.  This seems to result in many dead or slaughted jedi.  Ben Solo then takes on the name of Kylo Ren and serves as the apprentice of Snoke.   Han and Leia, who are Ben's parents blame Snoke for the downfall of their son.

It seems that Snoke is also afraid of Luke Skywalker meaning that Skywalker is likely more powerful.  Perhaps as a bit of a complex Snoke appears as a massive hologram in the Force Awakens.  However it is unclear actually how big he is in reality.

There are many different pieces of art created for Snoke but it is not yet known which was final.
