Caiza Quill

Caiza Quill was the X'ting leader of one of the Cestus Cybernetics Families, a member of the Hive Council and the cousin of the Regent of Ord Cestus, G'Mai Duris. He was descended from a 500-year-old assassin family. By that time, he was going out with Sabit.

Biography
Caiza Quill controlled the Hive Council and he was controlled by the Five Families.

He always hated his cousin G’Mai and wished to hold her position. That’s why he murdered Filian, Duris’ partner, some years before the Clone Wars, when Quill challenged him. So the Regent feared Caiza.

Then, he and the Five Families allied with the Confederacy of Independent Systems to undertake the manufacture of JK-13 security droids, which attempted on the public safety of the Galactic Republic.

Later, he met the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Vippit barrister Doolb Snoil, who came to negotiate that droid production. He knew that the Jedi would ally himself with Duris and he threatened her with challenging her, like Filian.

Finally, G’Mai chose to fight against Caiza. But, instead of fighting she remained immobile, waiting for the lethal sting, and Quill did not dare to kill her if she did not fight. This fact made Quill be expelled from the Council and Duris convinced the Council to disobey the Cestus Cybernetics rules. Caiza was furios and promised to veto all actions Duris could make.

Then, Caiza, Lord and Lady Por'Ten, and Debbikin the Young caught the magcar to go to the central palace to make their negotiations. There, they were discussing the murder of the Regent and a possible successor. But suddenly, the magcar stopped and was boarded by members of the Desert Wind and Jedi Master Kit Fisto, who pretended to be a Dooku’s envoy, and wanted to negotiate the oaths the Five Families took with the Confederacy. Then, Obi-Wan Kenobi appeared to fight against the false Dark Jedi and rescue Quill and the others. This fact made the Five Families sympathise with the Jedi and accede to the Supreme Chancellor’s petitions.

But Quill didn’t give up and presented a hologram where the Jedi sham was shown. This made Duris not to rely the Jedi and sent him and Snoil back to Coruscant. Now, the Five Families took up the power again. Later, the Cestus Cybernetics members met with the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress and the crimelord Trillot, who was a relative of Quill. There, Caiza told Trillot to be the successor of Duris when she died. They needed Duris and Kenobi dead and they relied on Ventress to do the job.

Then, he and the Five Families met with the Regent to convince her the Confederacy was the more reasonable ally, but Duris did not share their opinion. When the JK-13 droids were operative, they were activated to stop the Desert Wind. Then, the conflict was acquired importance, so the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine decided to send the Republic Cruiser Nexu. When the ship achieved the orbit of Ord Cestus, the Five Families, including Caiza Quill, took refuge in a secret bunker, that finally was discovered by ARC trooper Jangotat. Jangotat went on search of the leaders of Cestus Cybernetics but got trapped next to the bunker. He eventually sent a code ordering the Nexu to bomb over him. Everyone in the bunker was killed.
