Bislav Merril, holding the rank of Sergeant, was a Human male. At the time of the Battle of Hoth, he served within the Bespin Wing Guards.
During the Clone Wars, Bislav Merril fought for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He never spoke of this period with his fellow soldiers.
Known for being among the most authoritarian Sergeants in the Wing Guards, Merril was an older man. Because Merril held his troops in contempt, Utris M'Toc considered him a bitter foe. In 3 ABY, Merril, along with Sergeant Edian, escorted [Han Solo](/article/han_solo-legends]—frozen within carbonite—to the East Platform and handed him over to Boba Fett on his ship, the Slave I.
Alan Harris portrayed Sergeant Merril in The Empire Strikes Back.
The first name of Merril, Bislav, was initially revealed in the Rogues Gallery section of Star Wars Insider 148.
