Blake's 7

DEAN HARRIS

VILA RESTAL

'I plan to live forever... or die trying.'

The money isn't important it's just a way of keeping score. Vila is the best thief in the Federation, there is no lock he cannot open, no situation he cannot lie, cheat or fast talk his way out of. He isn't in this for the revolutionary politics, he's in it for his friends.
