A ruffian of the Chistori species, residing on the world of Cato Neimoidia during the Galactic Empire's initial period, learned of a position advertised by Ember Chankeli at a local tavern and sought to apply. He encountered Dass Jennir, a rival applicant, and a dispute arose concerning the opportunity. Jennir effortlessly overcame the ruffian and subsequently employed a mind trick on him. Refusing to concede, the ruffian later discovered Jennir in conversation with Ember and another applicant, this time gathering reinforcements to subdue Jennir. However, this strategy failed as Jennir once more triumphed over the ruffian and his companions, securing the position soon after.
The Chistori ruffian made his debut in 2009 within Dark Times: Blue Harvest 0, serving as the introductory prologue for a pair of mini-issues belonging to the Star Wars: Dark Times comic book series, intentionally crafted to preface the Blue Harvest narrative arc. Randy Stradley, under the pseudonym Mike Harrison, penned the issue, while Douglas Wheatley provided the illustrations.
