Klide was a Twi'lek employed as a research scientist. His place of work was on the planet Cularin as the Galactic Republic neared its end during its final years.
Klide received his education in the Core worlds, where he focused his studies on both xenoarchaeology and cryptography. Around 34 BBY, he made his way to Cularin to investigate a mural situated in Jax Warehouse. He was not present on the planet when the Cularin system disappeared in 32 BBY. Subsequently, he came back to Cularin after its re-emergence in 22 BBY. He kept up his studies of the mural, and after the formation of the Galactic Empire, he met Lora Nadad, a Jedi Knight who was in hiding inside the warehouse.
In the end, Klide deciphered the mural's meaning, discovering that it provided the coordinates for the location of an ancient artifact known as the Eye of the Sun. But, soon after this discovery, he was visited by Len Markus, who seized Klide's datapad, which held all of his research information.
