The Snegov family was a famous crime syndicate in the Kavhoka region, known locally for producing all manner of ruthless underworld figures.

They had made a name for themselves in the former Bosia Confederacy long ago, with their family headquarters in "Bönye," the largest city on the Kavhoka Great Plains.
