Legend

this rougishly handsome young man was a high-ranking lord within House Melantha at the height of the New Order. He was generally considered the mastermind behind House Melantha's plan to destroy the Imperial torpedo sphere which was stationed near Tallaan shortly before the Battle of Endor. He proposed that plan to Annora Calandra and House Melantha during a Vor-cal hunt, using the event as a cover for their meetings. Vaskel's cocky, self-assured confidence helped push the idea through to its implementation. Shortly after the Vor-cal held on Vilhon, Savill hired Lord Sef Falken to assassinate Calandra, and then hired Lord Barleos to execute High Lord Bal Jaset on Procopia. Both attempts were thwarted by a team of Alliance agents hired by House Cadriaan to discover Savill's plans, and Savill's political career was ruined. Ultimately, the torpedo sphere was destroyed, but it resulted in the almost complete subjugation of Tapani Sector by the Empire.
