Vila Restal is character in Blake's 7. He was portrayed by Michael Keating.
Vila is an unapologetic coward and often the butt of jokes. Vila fans find him appealing because of his (often hidden) cleverness and resourcefulness and his sense of humour, often expressed through asides and pithy one-liners.
Other Blake's 7 fans, focus on his negative aspects, find him to be a lazy, sneaky, and immature.
Many fans seem to be drawn to Vila also via his relationship with Kerr Avon whether in slash as Avon/Vila or in gen fanworks, though appreciation of Vila on his own also exists.
