'''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}}
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.{{book ref|sky2|3}} He accompanied Jorgen during his exploration of Detritus' cave system, however, after five days of travelling, began to suggestedsuggest that the trio head back to base after hearing DDF alarms in the distance.{{book ref|sky2|epilogue}} 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.{{book ref|sky2|epilogue}}

{{quote
|"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.
