Dalan Reid, an experienced professional in the field of identity slicing, had a career marked by its illicit nature. Due to the extreme illegality of his occupation, Reid endured a dozen years of seclusion, resulting in the development of eccentric habits that ultimately contributed to his mental instability. Subsequently, he employed indigenous fauna to fashion duplicates of Viella Zall, a renowned singer featured on the HoloNet, the galactic communications grid. After creating numerous copies, Reid staged an unscheduled concert on the planet Tatooine, where he was caught in 3630 BBY.
The character of Dalan Reid received a mention within the Codex entry dedicated to Identity Slicers. This reference appeared in the 2015 expansion, specifically Knights of the Fallen Empire, for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic. BioWare initially launched this game back in 2011.
