==Biography==
===In the light of the First Star===
The human Omisha Joyo was a member of nomadic enclave known as the Clan of the Toribota, which hailed from his homeworld of Isde Naha. Astronomical conjecture and the calculations of scientists led the group to believe that the star of the Jedha system was the First Light, the first primitive star seen by their ancestors. This led the clan to settle on the moon Jedha in the system, site of Jedha City.

===In the shadow of the Death Star===
Following an ambush of Imperial forces by the rebel partisans in the city's Tythoni Square, Joyo stood with a group of civilians on the side of a different square where Imperial stormtroopers were questioning various citizens. After the Imperials took Erso and Andor captive, Îmwe entered the square through an arch way behind Joyo and walked past him to confront the stormtroopers. Joyo and the others then scattered as a fight broke out between the Imperials and the Guardian of the Whills.
The Empire then evacuated its forces from Jedha City and destroyed the entire settlement with the Death Star superweapon, which unfortunately the mystical cosmology of the Clan of the Toribota had not forseen.
