Talbairat was born in Uranaya to an impoverished family as the first child, before Masqareb Talbairat was adopted. His father, Varish Talbairat Alituthar, was a peasant and author who was against British colonialism in Ulakisonia. He was most famous for writing A Land Harmed: The Story of European Colonialism in Ulakisonia, which was often revered during the communist period of Ulakisonia. After the death of his father in 1920, when he was 7 years old, he left school and began working in the farm to help his ailing family. At one point in 1921, he was abhorrently beaten by a mob after being accused of stealing from a jewellery shop in the nearby town of Qahalar.

Talbairat returned to Ulakisonia in 1961 and pressured his brother to join the communist party. He declared the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Ulakisonia on August 12, 1964, with himself as president and its capital being in Sancı Kristufari. This was later officially established as South Ulakisonia in 1967, which reunited the island with brute force in 1969, ending the Ulakisonian civil war.

Talbairat was subject to widespread international condemnation and was heavily sanctioned, especially after 1970 when Ulakisonia illegally annexed Toalugi after invading it in 1969.

A nationwide funeral service was held for Talbairat, alongside his people weeping in public over his demise.
