The Serpent is part of this mystery.

What should we say about the Serpent? We can not understand it, for we have only a Shadow of its greatness. Let us describe how it affects us, and thereby define it through our common vision.

The Serpent makes us tremble. We know its strength and feel its ancient power. We are aware of its primal nature, its great capacity to take us and change our entire system of belief. It is nothing like us, and we sense that Its plans are being moved forward without our full understanding. Without the Serpent, how long would stand the power of the Courts of Chaos?

For the GM
IMC: The Serpent is First Rank in Psyche. Second Rank in Strength. Third Rank in Endurance. Fourth Rank in Warfare. Fifth Rank in Stuff.

You may see how these values coincide with the Serpent's behavior. It exhorts its devotees to follow the path of dominance. In close conflict, it is supreme. For strategem, it relies on its many allies in the Courts of Chaos.
