Lobar "Ion Fist" Aybock was a male Calian from Shiva IV. During the Galactic Civil War, Aybock was captured by Imperial forces during the bombing of his hometown of K'avor. Deemed unworthy to be a stormtrooper, Aybock was put into the service of Zygerian slavers. Shortly afterward, a Chevin by the name of Eedund Cus purchased Aybock's freedom and trained him in the art of shockboxing, hoping to make a successful investment after seeing the natural fighter in him. With the help of Cus, his trainer, and Stitchy, his medic, Aybock went on to become a champion shockboxer.

During the time of the New Republic, Aybock helped New Republic Intelligence overthrow the Reuss Corporation's hold on the populace of Reuss VIII by fighting in a deadly match against the Barabel Tull Raine.
