Vil was a member of the Coruscant Security Force as a police officer stationed on the planet Coruscant. During the execution of Order 66, which branded all Jedi as enemies of the Galactic Republic, Vil was piloting a CSF assault ship on patrol. He was accompanied by a CSF akk dog handler along with Republic Commandos Darman and Niner. With incredulity, Vil made the commandos and their companion aware of the comm traffic concerning the military activity taking place at the Jedi Temple. At the commandos' request, Vil set down the assault ship on a platform, allowing them to disembark and get in touch with their sergeant, Kal Skirata.
Karen Traviss included Vil in her 2008 novel, Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel.
