Ivo, a Twi'lek of Rutian descent and male gender, resided on the world of Balmorra amidst the Cold War. Harboring sympathies for the Sith Empire, he observed Danak acting suspiciously near the Balmorran Arms Factory and identified him as a potential spy. Believing Danak to be affiliated with the Balmorran resistance, Ivo resolved to betray him to the Empire. Feigning a leg wound, Ivo lured Danak into offering assistance, at which point Ivo incapacitated him and handed him over to Imperial Captain Bowenn, who subsequently executed Danak. Following the collection of his compensation, Ivo returned to his residence, taking security measures during his journey. However, he was trailed by Danak's allies: the Jedi Surro, Garault, Landai, and Onok. The Jedi confronted Ivo, interrogating him regarding the details surrounding Danak's demise. Ivo openly displayed his contempt for both the Republic and the Resistance. Upon Ivo identifying the group as Jedi, Garault used his abilities to wipe Ivo's memory of their interaction.
