Niai Fieso was a confidence trickster from Veterned, Troiken. Born into poverty, he roamed the streets of Veterned, not able to hold down a job until he found work in Freon Drevan's criminal organization as a factory worker, producing counterfeit Gasgano podracing merchandise. He was also given the opportunity to swindle innocent beings, and the way in which he acquitted himself impressed Drevan to such a degree that the young Fieso soon found himself the most valued member of the organization. Together, Fieso and Drevan entered the smuggling business.

Fieso, however, tired of Drevan and set his elder up for a fall, alerting the authorities and leaving Drevan with tax debt. Striking out on his own, Fieso enjoyed success away from Troiken and masqueraded as an agent for Gasgano. He tried his hand at swindling the businesses of the Corporate Sector, but he soon attracted the attention of the Corporate Sector Authority. Chased out of the Corporate Sector by the Security Police, Fieso tried to lay low on the arid world of Tatooine. There, he found work as a vendor at the Mos Espa Grand Arena during the Boonta Eve Podrace in 32 BBY. What Fieso did not realize was that Drevan was present in the crowd, and after a very public fight, the pair found themselves in jail, with Fieso transferred to the Corporate Sector Authority's custody.
