Early life (3,973-3,955 BBY)
"Mother was addicted to spice, she even tried to sell me once, I strangled her and the buyer with the Force&mdash;crushing their insides and caused severe internal bleeding, both died immediately&mdash;I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel better after I killed them, but I did. It wasn't long until we were found by Tav and Sienna." "We?"

- Meila Caliss and Kyram Beviin

Meila Caliss originally a slave with her twin sister, Vasa on Korriban, in after being sold by their  addicted mother at the age of five, was found by Kiffar Tavin Norr and his Twi'lek girlfriend, Sienna. The couple raised the girls as their own and taught them how to fight, hunt, and survive in the harshest eviroment.

Sith apprentice
At some point after the girls turned eighteen, Sith Lord Darth Kissai, intercepted Norr's ship after sensing a strong connection to the Force among the children, whom decided to take the slave girls as her disciples and train them in the ways of the dark side as her Sith apprentices along side two others, Midwan Graush and Lain Glie. Unfortunately for Vasa, she was "liberated" from the Sith Academy on by an undercover Republic Intelligence officer, taken by an old Jedi hermit as his apprentice. Meila was then taken to the Sith Academy on Korriban, where she "devoured knowledge like a Sithspawn devoured its victims" and learned to master the use of the Force.

Taking care of business
"Of all the people I've killed in my life, Arvona, is one of the many I don't regret taking out. Actually, if it wasn't for him, you kids might not have been born, 'cause I probably wouldn't have met your father. But, I'm sure glad I did, that Mando was and still is the best thing that ever happened to me."

- Tayli and Kyram Beviin, to their children

Taking a mission from her master, Caliss and her hand picked strike team; which consisted of two : brother and sister Ferren and Shasa Jannis and Delta Squad a squad led by Kalim—under the radar&mdash;took a shuttle to Nal Hutta. Once she landed she was approached by the Hutt officials and their guards, which she dispatched quickly. Meila, Shasa, Ferren and Delta Squad made quick work of the guards and patrol droids blocking their passage. Eventually, Meila and her team made it to Arvona the Hutt's chamber, Caliss approached the throne but was electrocuted by the security system, easy enough she broke from its painful grasp, and happily decapitated the Hutt. She returned the head to Kissai, who rewarded her with the left eye, which she would keep in small water-filled metal container.

Mandalorian Knight
"Love is the most powerful feeling in the universe&mdash;it's more seductive than the dark side, let yourself embrace it. It will save you... not condemn you."

Later life
In 3,629 BBY, Tayli was among the attendees at her children's twenty-second birthday, she stood with her husband during the bar fight that ensued after Kyra assaulted a after he touched her arm. She and most of the party goers, including her husband sat back and watched the "fun," while sipping some ale.

Personality and traits
"Apprentice Caliss, has proved to be a valuable asset to Imperial Intelligence."

- Tobyn Sesk

As a Sith, she wore a simple black garments, rarely wearing heavy armor as the "hinder movement", though she was known to wear civilian apparel to blend in on "delicate assignments", and later her personal flexible Mandalorian Knight armor. She used a self-built single bladed lightsaber, which contained a red crystal, she later switched the red crystal for a violet one when she joined the Knights. Meila also developed feelings for Kyram Beviin after he rescued her from an ambush on Nar Shaddaa, which resulted in the destruction of his ship, the Forunner, but would never tell until Kyram told her he felt the same way a few months later, when they were trapped in a cave on the planet, Sora.

Meila first spotted him when she interrogated a guard of Arvona the Hutt on Nar Shaddaa at Rik's Cantina, trying to gather information on her target.
