Vril Vrakth was a male Zabrak who was born during the last years of the Galactic Republic. He was raised on a colony world where life was harsh, and the settlers there soon became divided in a series of violent wars. Vrakth originally trained as a soldier so that he could participate in the conflict, but he soon switched careers and became a scout. The combat and survival skills Vrakth learned helped to keep him alive, and he eventually caught the attention of Jeyrs Hundar, a bounty hunter who was passing through the world while chasing a criminal. Impressed by Vrakth's potential, Hundar offered to train him as an apprentice. The Zabrak agreed, and he traveled offworld with Hundar to be trained as a bounty hunter. Vrakth adapted well to his new career, and after Hundar was killed by a violent Rodian they were hunting, Vrakth was able to capture the Rodian on his own, and he used this success to establish himself as a bounty hunter.

During the Clone Wars, Vrakth was hired by a local Republic governor to hunt down Confederate generals. Following the end of the war, Vrakth began to work almost exclusively for the Republic's successive government, the Galactic Empire; in particular, he took assignments from Inquisitor Valin Draco, a Dark Side Adept who served the New Order. After Draco was almost killed on the Mid Rim planet Almas by a group of agents working for the Alderaanian Resistance, an anti-Imperial group based on Alderaan, the Inquisitor sent Vrakth to capture them. After Vrakth learned that the agents planned to travel to Nizon, a planet located in the Centares system, he went there and waited for them to arrive. The agents helped to stir up a revolt against the Imperial control of the planet, and during the battle, they confronted and defeated Vrakth.
