Iry Danta served the Imperial forces as a soldier.
Following the hardships resulting from the events of 19 ABY, he conspired with his fellow soldiers, Chala Venan, Chik Apla, Banner Sumptor, Anlys Takkar, and Moff Derran Takkar, to disrupt the marriage ceremony of Luke Skywalker and Mara Jade. However, before they could inflict any damage, Chewbacca intervened and thwarted Danta and Venan's plans.
Visually, his design seems to draw inspiration from the actor Steve Buscemi, similar to how the comic character Kam Solusar appeared to be modeled after Bruce Willis.
