An IG-86 assassin droid was a member of Cad Bane's company. Like all assassin droids, this droid had advanced programming, making it much more deadly than Separatist battle droids. It served as part of Bane's posse when he took several Senators hostage on Coruscant in 22 BBY.

Biography[]
Hostage Crisis[]
- "What happened? Where's the droid?"
"The droid's gone, but there's good news. The Jedi's unarmed."
"What?"
"It doesn't look like he has his lightsaber." - ―Cad Bane and Shahan Alama
The Unidentified Assasin Droid, eliminating all witnesses.
This assassin droid took part in the assault on the Senate Building's guards, attacking Captain Jayfon and his squad of senate commandos on the landing pad along with Cad Bane, Shahan Alama, HELIOS-3E, and two BX-Series Commando Droids. After dispatching the Senate Commando's, the assassin droid followed Bane down the corridors of the building.
While navigating through the corridors, the assassin droid and HELIOS-3E spotted a lone Senate Commando, guarding the elevator. Ignoring the Senate Commando's demands, both of the assassin droids shot him and breached the elevator door. Not wanting any witnesses, the assasin droid and HELIOS-3E shot down the four droids operating the elevator, including D-0T and R5-S9.
The Assasin Droid combats Anakin Skywalker.
Later on, while keeping watch on the senators, Shahan Alama and the assassin droid were ordered to search for Anakin Skywalker. Together, they search many rooms, and eventually decided to split up. While exploring alone, the assassin droid was ambushed and tackled by Anakin but was quickly able to kick him away. Anakin, keeping a firm grip on his blaster rifle, was pushed and dragged across the wall by the assassin droid. Anakin finally managed to disarm him and shoot him, but was surprised when the assassin droid bent the barrel of the blaster, pointing it towards him. Anakin quickly reacted by force-pushing him into a wall and decapitated him using the bent blaster rifle.
Shahan Alama eventually found the assassin droid on the ground, disfunctional. He noticed that the droid was not cut by lightsaber and quickly informed Cad Bane that Anakin was unarmed.
