Tamirisse was sold to slavers by her parents when things mysteriously started floating around the house and it was considered a bad omen. The slavers took her back to one of the main systems and sold her at a slave market, the buyer was a sith lord named Avarice Esthule. Esthule was rendered barren by the force and sought a child and apprentice in one package, so she found a child strong in the force and trained her. This was a barrage of cruel indoctrination and the removal of any sympathy that remained in Tamirisse and when she came of age as a sith she celebrated her 18th birthday by having the house slaves battle to the death or be roasted alive. This would be the standard sith story were it not for Esthule's library of datacrons. When Tamirisse was 25 her mother and master died leaving everything to her, not that she didn't have to fight for everything her mother left her. Among the datacrons was information about a vault of an ancient unknown origin on a backwater planet, seeing this as a possible source of an edge in the sith hierarchy she left to find this vault. The locals upon landing warned her that those who in those vaults do not come out themselves and hiked into the nearby mountains never to be seen again, but she claimed she would be the first to return fine as none of the previous were strong sith like herself. After torturing the natives for more information she descended into the crypts and came across a strange artifact of some past age. It seemed to be bio-replication tanks at first glance but they held odd stringy creatures in them that floated around in clear-green liquid, she approached the tanks to attempt to read the writing and found it to be indecipherable. Upon approaching one of the tank's interface consoles it stabbed into her and she blacked out.

What came to consciousness was no longer Tamirisse and Tamirisse at the same time. The alien lifeform had grafted itself onto her nervous system with the help of her potential in the force. It found her personality desiring and reset it to learn more of the galaxy through the eyes of a less inhibited creature. The new personality was a fusion of Tamirisse's childhood personality and the alien lifeform's personality. The lifeform introduced itself to the knowledgable yet childlike Tamirisse as Kaylussis, the learner. Since they exist simultaneously in the body they came to a compromise and renamed themselves Tamikay. Tamikay left her duties as a sith and set out with her untied assets to explore and assess the galaxy. Some wonder what Tamikay is assessing, but one can wonder what the goals of an alien intelligence are?
