Born in the Martian city of to parents of Estonian descent, Kallas grew up in a military household with military values. However, unlike his parents, Kallas did not immediately take to military life and it was several years at the Mattis Academy of Military Science before he came into his own as a cadre squad leader on a UNSC Marine Corps officer track. He graduated with enough grade points to attempt qualifications and passed, becoming a platoon leader in 2524. However, a deadly ambush on his first deployment, , turned his entire life upside down; rebels dropped artillery shells on Kallas’s vehicle convoy killing many of his subordinates. In need of immediate medical treatment, Kallas was removed from active service.

Due to improper muscle repair, Kallas would continue to live with significant nerve pain and partial facial paralysis.
