'''Arturo Mendez''' (callsign '''Amphisbaena''') is a cadet in [[DDF]] [[Flight School]] and pilot number five in [[Skyward Flight]].{{book ref|Skyward|8}} Both of his parents are pilots and he is the son of Valda Mendez and has a significant amount of practical flying experience prior to joining Flight School.{{book ref|sky1|8}} His callsign, Amphisbaena, comes from the mythological [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphisbaena two headed, ant-eating serpent] that goes by the same name. His flightmates have difficulty pronouncing his callsign, leading to it being shortened to Amphi.{{cite}} Cobb appears to be the only person who can pronounce Arturo's callsign.{{book ref|sky1|23}} During Flight School he spends a majority of his training in a Poco.{{book ref|sky1|10}} He is familiar with military protocol, likely due to his father's position as a pilot.{{book ref|sky1|8}}

He has a faint accent that is normally associated with those from the lower caverns.{{book ref|sky1|10}}
Arturo is aware of his intelligence and can at times come across as pretentious, which Cobb has called him out for on several occasions.{{book ref|sky1|10}}{{book ref|sky1|13}}

A few days later, Skyward Flight was once again sent into battle against the Krell, this time fighting alongside full pilots. Although Arturo was initially designated to be Jorgen's wingmate, at some point he was separated from his flightleader and Spensa took his place. Shortly after Morningtide was shot down, Arturo paired off with Nedd, to prevent the Krell from being able to focus on either of them.

During training the next day, Arturo was distracted from his grief for long e
== Attributes and Abilities ==
During Flight School Arturo trains to pilot a Poco, perform aerial maneuvers, and use its weaponry. He is highly knowledgeable about piloting and starfighters,{{book ref|sky1|10}} and has a significant amount of practical experience, having logged over two-hundred hours of flight time before beginning Flight School through acting as a copilot to his father.{{book ref|sky1|8}} Despite his prior practice, Arturo is not completely knowledgeable about starfighters and the the intricacies of their weaponry systems, nor has he trained on them.{{book ref|sky1|14}}
Arturo is quite intelligent and often called upon in class by Cobb for information about starfighters, flying, or the Krell.{{book ref|sky1||23}}{{other earlier reference}/}
== Relationships ==
Following the revelation that Spensa's father was Zeen Nightshade, Arturo began acting more cautious around Spensa, although it is unclear if this was because of her parentage or her temper.{{book ref|sky1|16}}
He has a tendency to go on tangents and can get distracted when does not agree with a statement.{{book ref|sky1|9}} Jorgen seems familiar with this.{{book ref|sky1|9}}
Nedd has a fun natured and bickering type of relationship with Arturo,{{book ref|sky1|15}} and the two often throw friendly insults at each other.{{book ref|sky1|15}} Arturo is used to Nedd's wisecracks and is thrown after Nedd drops out of flight school, still expecting his responses during certain beats of conversation.{{book ref|sky1|32}} Nedd's relationship with Jorgen is more one sided in it's playfulness and Nedd often pokes fun at Jorgen, likely to allow the other boy to let off steam.{{book ref|sky1|10}}
Nedd and Arturo deliberately do not invite Jorgen to informal gatherings of [[Skyward Flight]] as they believe he would not want to join the group, thus making the invitation a waste of time.{{book ref|sky1|38}} It is unclear if they are correct in this thought.
