Amfion is an EVE University Graduate with a passion for learning, imparting knowledge, teaching newcomers, all while having a blast along the way. He currently serves as Director of Combat and PvP Operations for EVE University, leading the FC Development Group. Having joined in 2023, Amfion has been active in the University's various Communities, and has taken up an active role in supporting its endeavors as Communications Officer, Communications Manager, Teacher, Teaching Officer, Hauling Officer, Intake & Progression Officer and Director of Communications & Outreach.

In his personal time, Amfion is a small-gang pilot at heart. Most of his hours are spent in a Jackdaw or an Exequror Navy Issue, roaming with a handful of friends in search of a fair fight (or a slightly unfair one, if he's honest). He rarely says no to a big stratop when the corporation he calls home needs bodies on grid either: his sovereign nullsec days in 2024 left him with a pile of Ferox Navy Issue killmails and an unhealthy disdain for time dilation.

He also has a soft spot for Black Ops, whether in a stealth bomber or behind the controls of his own Widow or Redeemer, and owes a debt of gratitude to the Bombers Bar community, alongside whom he has racked up a few capital and supercapital killmails. The Redeemer, the AMF Endar Spire, has been dropped into more than its fair share of questionable situations, and somehow keeps coming home with nothing worse than scratched paint and a few dents in the hull. Not even the EDENCOM Defense Initiative managed to change that, after being forced to take a few shots at the Endar Spire when its captain spent a bit too long gallivanting in Pochven with Kybernauts Clade and Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.

Amfion doesn't do it all alone. Outside of EVE University's bounds, his private ventures run through Bravais Incorporated, a Caldari household corporation of which he is the head. Its members, among them Isabelle Mirabeau, Silas and Ves Delporte, Ossia en Delporte, Alistair Arienne Devalle, Avel Garelle, Dastar Bolmara and a sprawling Bravais family of Egenar, Halcyon, Lania, Estelle, Arpola, Olena and Orvolle, keep the markets moving, the hangars stocked and the freighters flying, with a few of them handling the kind of special operations best not asked about. John Planetary Industry is also on the books, though despite the name, he does not do planetary industry. Every so often the household takes out the fancier toys, dreadnoughts and carriers among them, and lands in a heap of trouble courtesy of one Mark Medina Ambraelle. So far, they've always made it out untackled and unscathed. The paperwork, meanwhile, is left to Professor Amfion, his alter ego, for when Amfion is busy being elsewhere.

Background

The eldest child to a couple of mid-level Caldari corporate bureaucrats, Amfion Bravais enjoyed the usual curriculum of the Caldari State education machine preparing him for a life of corporate service. Following graduation, he took up a role in the Ishukone Corporation’s communications and press arm with good success. In the year YC118, a Sansha’s Nation Incursion in the Korama system saw both his parents abducted and turned into the mindless drones of Sansha Kuvakei’s depraved utopia. This tragic event a catalyst for change, Bravais used his Ishukone Corporation background for Capsuleer training at the School of Applied Knowledge. After securing a Polyvessel Pilot, Capsule Cleared certificate, Amfion spent a short time in YC120 with the noble Signal Cartel.

The ensuing years were filled with more corporate-focused taskings as Bravais returned to his Ishukone roots, though the call to help others never really left him. In the year YC125, he enrolled with EVE University and soon found himself positioned within its Communications Department, where he has worked ever since, most recently taking over as Communications Manager from close associate Shaemus O'Conor. Within the University’s activities, he takes an especially active role in combating further Sansha Incursions, given prior history. This role in fighting the Sansha Incursions was later passed on to Amfion's associate Silas Delporte, as Amfion's tasks left him unable to stay as nomadic as the fight against the Sansha demands. He takes an active interest in Silas's efforts however, and continues to fund the Delporte man's endeavours, ensuring his access to the latest advances in ship equipment.

In YC126, after spending most of his tenure at the University's Null-Sec Community and fighting in the last stand of Innuendo, Amfion moved into the Wormhole Community's new Class 4 wormhole home where he spent a brief time learning the intricacies of Anoikis. In the summer of 2024, Amfion departed his home in EVE University space and joined some alumni friends of his in Collusion, a corporation living out of a wormhole to sate their bloodthirst by rolling into null-security space to fight other Capsuleers. This group was particularly active in the renewed incursion of the Cynosural Field Theory alliance into the Y4Y constellation, helping EVE University stave off the assault and marshal its reponse. In the following rebuilding, Amfion helped out where he could. He continues upholding his University commitments through associates of his, as well as his alter ego Professor Amfion. At the end of August YC126, the man celebrated his one year tenure in EVE University.
