Biography
Vril Vrakth was born and raised on a failed colony world that was too harsh to easily support life, with shortages of food and water. The settlers turned upon themselves in a war for control of the world's resources and Varth originally trained as a soldier, so as to take part in this conflict. However, he soon changed his career to that of a scout and learned many skills that helped him to stay alive. A bounty hunter named Jeyrs Hundar came to the world in persuit of a criminal and by that time, Vrakth was one of the few survivors from the original settlers. Hundar was impressed by Vrakth's tenacity and self-reliance, so took him on as an apprentice bounty hunter.

Hundar alternated the Zabrak's training between that of a warrior and that of a hunter, resulting in him becoming a crack-shot with a pistol. He served as Hundar's backup and would cover escape routes of help him to take down targets that were too dangerous to go against alone. On one such mission, Hundar was killed by a particularly vicious Rodian, but Vrakth was still able to take the target down and as such establish himself as a feared bounty hunter. During the Clone Wars he served a local Republic governor, who used him to hunt down CIS Generals. At some point during the conflict, he was able to obtain a number of crab droids. Following the end of the war, he began to take contracts alomost exclusively from the Empire and in particular, Inquisitor Valin Draco.

In 19 BBY, Draco hired Vrakth to hunt down an Alderaanian Resistance team that had almost killed him in the Almas Academy. Vrakth trailed the team for a few weeks. He learned of a request that Senator Bail Organa had made to the University of Aldera regarding the planet Nizon and worked out that the team were planning to attack Nizon, so he made his way there, along with his Trandoshan apprentice Koorst. Vrakth set himself up on the planet for the slavers and the Imperial forces there, as he waited for the team to arrive. He began using an Imperial base called Point Gold as a base of operations and docked his ship, a Cloakshape starfighter, on a small landing bay at the edge of a construction platform. He planned to capture the Alderaanian team and to also kill Sartok, the leader of the Nazren resistance forces on Nizon, who also had a bounty on his head. He had his crab droids patrol the planet's capital city to report on anything they found. During this time, due to his trusted position, Vrakth was entrusted with an Imperial Intelligence datachip that revealed that the Empire was using Nazren slaves as part of the Sarlacc Project, and that orders regarding the project originated from Coruscant, which was referred to as the home of the project's designers and architects.

The resistance team arrived on Nizon and allied themselves with the local resistance forces, stirring up the local Nazren and getting them to riot. Vrakth assumed that the team were behind this and planned to to lure the team to him with his datachip and them capture them and turn tide of the Nazren revolt. However, the team were able to defeat Vrakth and killed him. Koorst had been up in space to give Vrakth cover in the operation and was forced to flee the system, but vowed to gain vengeance against the team for the death of his master.
