'''Arturo Mendez''' (callsign '''Amphisbaena''') is a member of the [[DDF]] and a member of [[Skyward Flight]].{{book ref|Skyward|8}} Both of his parents are pilots, one of which is [[Valda Mendez]].{{book ref|sky1|8}} He is an assistant flight leader to [[Jorgen]], along with [[Nedd]].{{book ref|sky1|8}}{{book ref|sf1|1}}
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 and other DDF staff have difficulty pronouncing his callsign, leading to it being shortened to Amphi.{{book ref|sky1|9}} [[Cobb]] appears to be the only person who can pronounce Arturo's callsign, however
His family is rich{{book ref|sky1|38}} and owns three private [[starfighter]]s that are used as escorts during trading operations.{{book ref|sky1|35}} These ships are not accessible to the DDF during times of need as they are primarily reserved to evacuate the Mendez family if they are in danger.{{book ref|sky1|48}} His family has a private radio frequency, 1250,{{book ref|sky1|37}} as well as a private radio that is able to unscramble pilot frequencies.{{book ref|sky1|48}}

|"Hey, Arturo,” Nedd said... “these projectors are pretty good. You think they could simulate a world where you’re not a scudding terrible pilot?”<br>
Arturo has a playful and joking type of relationship with Nedd,{{book ref|sky1|13}}{{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}}
[[Jorgen]] and Arturo became friends during school, before they joined the DDF. Jorgen is aware of Arturo's tendency to go on tangents during arguments and is effective at preventing this from occurring.{{book ref|sky1|9}} Arturo has a tendency to take jabs at Jorgen's attitude,{{book ref|sky1|31}} and may find the other boy to be a buzzkill.{{book ref|sky1|27}} Regardless, Arturo values Jorgen's friendship and gladly will agree to follow Jorgen, even in situations where he is unaware of their mission objective.{{book ref|sky2|epilogue}}.▼
Arturo and Nedd 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.
