Lord Weston Warsheld was the High Lord of House Calipsa during the time of the Galactic Civil War. Around the time of the Battle of Hoth he had ruled the Tapani Sector House benevolently for about 87 years. At the age of 108, the years had taken their toll on the once physically-fit man. He could no longer move without the use of a repulsorchair and he required a permanent interface with a life-support system and the constant attention of a MD-5 medical droid. During this time, Lord Warsheld would rarely venture off of Calipsa and it became necessary for others to represent the High Lord at the Great Council.
