Legend

this harsh, hulking Devaronian worked as a mercenary during the last decades of the Old Republic. He flew the galaxy in his personal starship, the Inferno, and was assisted by the droid NT. After helping Naradan D'ulin rescue the princess Foolookoola from the planet Ootoola, Villie was hired by Darth Sidious to stir up the Yinchorri people into aggressive acts against their neighbors. Sidious hoped to draw the Jedi Knights into a trap in the Yinchorri System, provided that Vilmarh Grahrk did his job. His cousin, another hulking Devaronian with a broken left horn, was captured by Adi Gallia on Yitheeth, while trying to lead a group of Yinchorri warriors against the Jedi. After the Jedi managed to destroy the Yinchorri command center on Uhanayih, Vilmarh and his cronies fled the system in fear of being captured. They were branded criminals and hunted down by the Old Republic. His actions, however, forced the Jedi Knights to consdier that a stronger power was behind the Yinchorri uprisings. Many months later, Villie first encountered Quinlan Vos on Nar Shaddaa, after the Jedi Knight had been stripped of his memory. Villie had bet the Inferno as collateral in several wagers, but lost them all. He then "rescued" Quinlan, in order to obtain the prize money offered by the criminal underworld to the being who could most accurately predict how long a Jedi whose memory had been erased could survive on the moon. With this money, he hoped to buy back the Inferno. Quinlan rmanaged to avoid being killed, and force the Devaronian to explain what was going on. The two fled Nar Shaddaa after confronting Bib Fortuna about Quinlan's loss of memory, and traveled to Ryloth to discover the whereabouts of Aayla Secura. After learning of Chom Frey Kaa's part in the development of glitteryll, Villie agreed to take Quinlan to Coruscant. He contacted the Twi'lek Senator, claiming to be bringing Quinlan in for the bounty on his head. Villie, however, had decided that the Jedi was his friend, and used the meeting to lure Chom Frey Kaa into a trap set by Mace Windu. Villie became something of a friend to Quinlan, and helped the Jedi during his mission to Kiffu. It was rumored that Villie survived the tumult of the Clone Wars, and eventually ended up on Tatooine as a front-man for Jabba the Hutt. In his old age, Villie was no less a conman and swindler than when he was young, and often played both sides against each other to figure out which one paid better.
