An IG-RM bodyguard and enforcer droid, designed with masculine programming, served the nefarious Broken Horn Syndicate on the planet of Lothal in the initial years of the Galactic Empire's rule. This droid entered the cantina called Old Jho's Pit Stop, located in the Lothal outpost referred to as Jhothal, and insisted that Jho, the Ithorian proprietor, provide protection payments to the Broken Horn. Jho declined, asserting that Cikatro Vizago, the syndicate's head, was in debt to him; however, the droid, either due to a malfunction or deliberate disregard, subdued the elderly Ithorian. This IG-RM bodyguard and enforcer droid, a product of Holowan Laboratories, stood at a height of 2.09 meters and weighed 140 kilograms. Adorned with green paint, the droid wielded both a blaster rifle and an electrostaff during confrontations, the latter of which it spun while engaged in battle.
The IG-RM bodyguard and enforcer droid made its debut in Star Wars Rebels: Head to Head, a 2014 publication authored by Pablo Hidalgo.
