Sergeant Bislav Merril was a male Human and a member of the Bespin Wing Guards at the time of the Battle of Hoth.[2]
Biography
Merril, hard at work
Bislav Merril was a veteran of the Clone Wars on the side of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. He refused to talk about this time with his colleagues.[1]
Merril was an older man who was known as one of the most tyrannical Sergeants of the Wing Guards; Utris M'Toc named him a sworn enemy because Merril looked down on his troops with disdain.[2] In 3 ABY Merril and Sergeant Edian escorted Han Solo, who was frozen in carbonite, to the East Platform and delivered him to Boba Fett's Slave I.
Behind the scenes
Sergeant Merril was played by Alan Harris in The Empire Strikes Back.[4]
Merril's first name of Bislav was first revealed in the Rogues Gallery of Star Wars Insider 148.
