Prior to the film's release on December 16, 2016, the character was first depicted in the second story trailer for Rogue One, which was released on October 13, 2016. The character was first identified in the accompanying reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo and released on the same day as the film.
The character's name appears to be a partial tuckerization of the name of Rodney Tosh, one of the film's stunt performers who portrayed one of the Lorrdians in the film. Concept art of the costume worn by Ni and other members of the Brotherhood titled "Jedha Extra Version 7C" was drawn by costume concept artist Adam Brockbank.The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
