Wonn Ionstrike was a crime boss and gangster of the human male variety, who ran his operations from Cloud City located on Bespin. Ionstrike had cybernetic enhancements to his arms and torso, and utilized a levitating platform for mobility. A group of bodyguards, including Tarnono, provided him protection.
Moxxin, Traff, and [Vanraya], the young trio, successfully pickpocketed the Cantonarive crown coin from Baron Administrator Lando Calrissian. Their plan was to hand it over to Ionstrike in exchange for remuneration. However, Calrissian, who was pursuing the young thieves with the help of a security droid, explained that the coin was meant for a grand slicer as part of an agreement to safeguard Cloud City from the Galactic Empire. This revelation led the children to reconsider their intention of giving the coin to Ionstrike.
