Vilmarh Grahrk


 * You can trust Villie! There is money involved! - Vilmarh Grahrk

Vilmarh Grahrk, or Villie as he was often known, was a Devaronian smuggler during the time of the Galactic Republic. A notorious gambler, grifter and scoundrel, Villie took part in a number of underhanded schemes in his quest for money and women.

Biography
One of Villie's first schemes involved working for no less that Darth Sidious himself. Together with his cousin Holmar, Villie was tasked with inciting the Yinchorri into battle with the Jedi. The resulting conflict left a number of Jedi - including Council member Micah Giett dead, and Holmar captured. Villie was later questioned by the Jedi, but was deemed to know nothing of value.

Villie next came to the Jedi's attention when he encountered the amnesiac Quinlan Vos on Nar Shaddaa. At this time Villie had once again gambled away his money, which he made from transporting the glitteryll that had wiped the minds of Vos and his Padawan Aayla Secura. Villie saw Vos as an opportunity to break even, and placed the bet with the longest odds of all - that Vos would survive long enough to get away from the Smuggler's Moon. Then, in a series of double and triple-crosses, Villie escaped with Vos on his ship, the Inferno.

From Nar Shaddaa, Villie took Vos to Kiffu, Ryloth and Coruscant. During this time, Villie killed Holmar and double-crossed the corrupt politician Chom Frey Kaa who had begun the glitteryll scandal.

Villie was next hired to smuggle weapons to the convicts on Kiffex, but was shot down by the Guardians and imprisoned himself. He was found by no less than Quinlan Vos and his Master Tholme in their hunt for the rogue Aayla Secura. Villie was uncomfortable being in the presence of two Jedi, and this discomfort only grew with the addition of Masters Zao and T'ra Saa. Although the Jedi would not allow Grahrk to leave the planet before the defeat of Volfe Karkko, Quinlan Vos did agree to travel with him as he followed the will of the Force.

Grahrk's also had a part in Kh'aris Fenn's plot to take control of Ryloth. Villie was hired as a pilot for the Morgukai Tsyr and Bok when they kidnapped Nat Secura and Tholme. Vos and Secura tracked Ville to Ord Mantell, hoping that he would reveal where he had taken the prisoners. With typical faithfulness to his employers, Grahrk told the Jedi everything he knew - though not before they had used the Force to help him win some dice rolls. Of course, providing aid to the Jedi didn't stop him for also working for his original employers. Villie spirited Kh'aris away from Ryloth before he was made to walk in the Bright Lands, saving both of them from serious trouble.

Villie was on Kashyyyk during Order 66, though the details of this are as yet unknown.
