== History ==
OnceWhen thereArturo joined [[flight school]], Arturohe was placed in [[Skyward Flight]] under the tutorledge of [[Cobb]]. During his time atas Flighta Schoolcadet, he roomed with the other male members of his flight.{{book ref|sky1|11}}▼
 
His first day of Flightflight Schoolschool saw him arriving at the class room with his two friends, [[Jorgen]] and [[Nedd]]. When Jorgen chided the other members of Skyward Flight for not being organized and ordered them to attention, Arturo naturally obeyed the command. After Cobb named Jorgen flightleader, Jorgen named Arturo as one of his two assistant flightleaders.{{book ref|sky1|8}}▼
Did he sit the entrance exam.

Unlike many of the other members of Skyward Flight, it is likely that Arturo successfully launched his [[Poco]] during the first lesson run by Cobb.{{book ref|sky1|9}} After the exercise, when [[Bim]] asked about the tradition of dismissing cadets who eject, Arturo repeated [[DDF]] rhetoric that [[aclivity ringsring]]s should be saved at all cost as they were worth more than the lives of pilots. Cobb chided him for his assertion, and tried to discourage the cadets from listening to similar rumors.{{book ref|Sky1|9}} When the first lesson was interrupted by a [[varvax|Krell]] attack, Arturo, along with the rest of Skyward Flight, were ordered to take to the sky and line up close to the battle to deceive the Krell into thinking there were more pilots ready to join the conflict.{{book ref|sky1|10}} While they waited, Arturo and [[Spensa]] explained to the other cadets the attack strategy of the Krell, although they disagreed on whether the nuances of [[lifebuster]] involvement should be considered part of a basic explanation.{{book ref|sky1|10}}▼

The next day, while practicing, Arturo had to remind Nedd where to find his eject lever, to which Nedd joked that in an emergency he would simply ask Arturo where to find it. When Cobb asked the class for feedback, Arturo replied in a pompous way that he was bored.{{book ref|sky1|13}} Later, the cadets began testing out the weapons functions on their mockpits. Like his fellow classmates, barring [[Kimmalyn]], Arturo performed poorly when first attempting to hit the targets, not managing to land a single shot.{{book ref|sky1|14}} After most of the class died during the dogfight simulation, Cobb showed them the advantage of [[IMP]]'s, using Arturo to demonstrate.{{book ref|sky1|14}}▼

During the [[light-lance|ight-lancing]] ring game, Arturo was sabotaged by Nedd who intentionally crashed them both into the third ring of the second run, by joining their ships with his light-lance.{{book ref|sky1|15}} After Spensa deliberately collided with Jorgen, Arturo, along with Nedd, attempted to calm histheir flightleader down, with Nedd joking that Jorgen had still beaten Arturo - a comment Arturo did not appreciate.{{book ref|sky1|15}} As form of vicious retribution, Jorgen told Arturo and Nedd about Spensa's father and living situation while the rest of the room listened.{{book ref|sky1|15}}▼

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. Arturo survived the battle, however, both Bim and Morningtide were killed.{{book ref|sky1|19}}▼

During a routine debris tagging exercise, Skyward Flight got caught in a firefight between Krell and DDF forces as the [[shipyard]] fell from orbit. Arturo tried to assist a damaged DDF fighter as it crashed towards the planet surface, however, was unsuccessful in catching it with his lightlancelight-lance. Arturo, [[FM]], [[Hurl]], and [[Jorgen]], ended up cut off from the other members of the Flight after they were attacked by Krell.{{book ref|sky1|25}} Eventually the members of the Flight were able to regroup and joined Riptide Flight as they headed back to base.{{book ref|sky1|26}}▼

A week later, during training, Arturo asked Cobb about Krell tactics and their interactions with DDF pilots during battle. His questions led to Cobb giving the Flightflight information about the Krell and about the [[Detritus|planet]]'s defenses.{{book ref|sky1|27}}▼

During a later training session, Arturo questioned Cobb about the simulation they were using, wanting to know if the instructor was recreating famous battles for practice. He correctly guessed that the cadets had just been practicing in the [[Battle of Trajerto]], a clash that had taken place five years previous.{{book ref|sky1|31}}
 
Not long after the class was dismissed, Skyward Flight was called to action to help defend against a Krell attack. The flight took up postionposition near one of Alta's AA guns away from the main fight to wait as backup. Arturo was surprised when FM asked if he knew how far away the flight was from the main battle, not expecting her to ask him directly. Arturo insictuallyinstinctively left a pause before answering, waiting for Nedd to fill the silence with a joke, momentarily forgetting that the other pilot had been dismissed from the DDF. Instead of calculating the distance, as FM assumed he would, Arturo radioed Cobb to ask him directly.{{book ref|sky1|32}}
 
When the group was given the green light to engage with the Krell, Arturo fell in with Jorgen as his wingmate, engaging several Krell. At some point during the battle, Arturo was able to destroy at least one of the Krellenemy fighters, however, afterwards ended upafter taking heavy fire, losinglost his shield and takingtook a direct hit along the side of his ship. Luckily, the shot had not damaged his acclivity ring allowing his starfighter to stay airborne, however, the ship was severely damaged and the shielding mechanism completely destroyed?.{/{citebook ref|sky1|49}} The attack rattled Arturo, who was well aware how lucky he was to have made it through the incident alive.{{book ref|sky1|32}}
 
After the death of Hurl, Arturo, along with the other remaining members of Skyward Flight, were given a week of leave in order to recover. Despite this, all remaining members returned to their flight school classroom the next morning. Spensa, determined to find Hurl's ship asked Arturo how far out he thought the battle had taken place, using his answer to guide her in the right direction towards Hurl's crash site.{{book ref|sky1|33}}
 
During his week of medical leave, Arturo met up with the members of Skyward Flight, past and present, at a restaurant at [[Alta Base]], and introduced them to his girlfriend Bryn. The group reminiscing about Hurl, and Arturo admitted his regret for not going with Spensa and Jorgen to find Hurl's body. When Bryn went to the bathroom, the current and former members of Skyward Flight talked briefly about the strangeness of Krell tactics and the DDF's hesitancy to talk about these things. Arturo played devil's advocate during the conversation, challenging the sentiments expressed with the possibility that the DDF didn't share information on Krellenemy tactics with those who did not have full DDF credentials. Kimmalyn pointed out to him, however, the his own conversations about the Krell had previously been shut down by higher ranking officers. The conversation dropped when Bryn returned and the group moved on to lighter topics.{{book ref|sky1|38}}
 
Some days after the gathering, Arturo accompanied FM to a game of sports after Nedd procured tickets for the two of them. The pair continued to talk about the game the next day when they arrived at class, only to find thethat their mockpits were no longer usable. Arturo questioned Cobb when he arrived, who told the cadets that they were moving on to practicing in real Poco's from that point forward. As the group moved towards the launchpad, Arturo fell into conversation with Spensa, admitting that he wanted to be more like her. Strengthened by Spensa's words of encouragement, Arturo borrowed Kimmalyn's now vacant Poco for the training, while his own was being repaired.{{book ref|sky1|40}}
 
During scouting training, Arturo queried [[Blaze]] about the perception of cowardisecowardice created by staying away from the battle. Blaze did not appreciate the question, snapping back that scouts were not cowards, to which Arturo hastily clarified he had not meant to imply they were.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
 
After the flight touched down at Alta, Arturo brought up Spensa's comments from the resturantrestaurant about the DDF's involvement with the war, agreeing with her that the human military was slowly losing. When Jorgen tried to argue, Arturo pointed out that statistical data of the war showed the Defiant's position weakening. As they returned to the training building, Arturo found his mother, [[Valda]], speaking with Cobb. Going to speak with the pair, Arturo was informed that he was being promoted to full pilot and retired honorably from service in order to help his family's buisnessbusiness. Angry, Arturo tried to toss the pilot's pin given to him by Cobb away, however, he was stopped by his mother. Eventually Arturo caved, saluting Cobb before leaving with is mother.{{book ref|sky1|41}}
 
Following the Skyward graduation, Arturo and the former members of the flight met up at a resturantrestaurant in Alta Base to listen in to the battle at the shipyard on Arturo's family radio. Despite being a full pilot, Arturo did not wear his pilots pin to the gathering. Arturo set up the radio to broadcast the [[National Assembly]] channel so that the former pilots could listen to the same information being given to the government leaders. At the request of the others in the group, Arturo eventually turned the radio to the pilots bands so that they could listen in directly to the battle. Periodically, he would switch between the flightleader channel and the scouts channel, so that the group could follow the scout's attempts to stop the lifebuster. Hearing the desperation of the battle, Arturo, Nedd, and Kimmalyn went to steal the Mendez private jets from the lower caverns to aid the overwhelmed DDF pilots.{{book ref|sky1|48}}
 
Having successfully stolen the Mendez family starships, Arturo, Nedd, and Kimmalyn went to join Spensa in defending Alta Base. The group arrived shortly after Spensa was shot down and ordered by Ironsides to attack and destroy the bomber.{{book ref|sky1|51}}{{book ref|sky1|52}}
 
After Spensa rejoined the fight in [[M-Bot]], Arturo and Nedd went after the bomber on Spensa's orders, in an attempt to drive it away from Alta Base. [[Ironsides]] tried to overrule Spensa, however, was ignored by Arturo and Nedd. There attempts to attack the bomber, however, were constantly impeded by the black Krell guard ships which would attack if they got close but fall back if they pulled away. When Riptide Flight arrived, they joined Arturo and Nedd in engaging with these ships to keep them busy and distracted.{{book ref|sky1|52}} It is unknown how the fight Arturo was involved in ended, but it can be assumed the black Krell fighters pulled back when the lifebuster was dropped.
 
Following the battle, Arturo rejoined the DDF as an active pilot.{{cite}} He accompanied Jorgen during his exploration of Detritus' cave system, however, after five days of travelling, began to suggested that the trio head back to base.[22] He was unaware of the true reason the friends were exploring the caves, believing the objective of their task had been relayed from Cobb to Jorgen.[22]
