Sam Snelling appears briefly as a senior supervisor, identified by a voice described as older. The text supplies no further account of his actions, relationships, or personal history, so his role remains a small but distinct presence.
Description
The book gives no visual portrait of Sam Snelling. He is identified as a senior supervisor, and his voice is described as older, but his age, face, hair, eyes, build, and clothing are not specified. Any more precise appearance would be conjecture.
