Not every pilot lives in Discord. Some log in, undock, shoot things and log off, and their story is written on the killboard. This edition of Faces of TNF celebrates nine of them, with what we know from the welcome threads and their public killmails.

ziggy Okaski

ziggy Okaski has been around long enough to welcome others ("glad to have you my dude", he told a new arrival in September 2026). During the record-breaking battle of April 2026 he was stuck away from his computer, following along in corp chat: "I'm sat here wishing I was at my pc now." He made up for it later. His biggest public kill is a Wyvern supercarrier on 19 September 2026, about 64 billion ISK, and he was also on the Bane in November 2025.

Adama Kanjus

Odysemus welcomed Adama Kanjus in January 2026 as a long-time PvP pilot looking for a forever home in a smaller corp, keen on small and medium roams. His own first post was a "meet the new guy" GIF, quickly followed by "yay i have tags!" Tamanade and Killjoy Ender both said hello. Within a week he was on a Zirnitra dreadnought and an Archon carrier killmail.

Melkafet

Melkafet arrived in March 2026 as one of a trio of French Canadian brothers looking for an active home in the alliance, and announced himself with a waving GIF. He has been communicating mostly in GIFs ever since. On the killboard he speaks clearly: a Minokawa force auxiliary and a Zirnitra dreadnought in his first two weeks.

Hans Ericson

Hans Ericson joined in February 2026 alongside AexisKae, under Odysemus's welcome headline "It. Just. Keeps. Happening." Hans clearly has a taste for marauders: his notable kills include a Vargur in January 2026 and a Kronos in February.

Dabba Doo

Harrat personally welcomed Dabba Doo home in September 2025 ("Welcome Home, Dabba Doo!"), a familiar face rejoining the family. In February 2026 Aralo Meza pointed him to the Fanfest thread. On the killboard: a Curse and a Vagabond on 25 February 2026.

Larhasia Black

Larhasia Black is part of the Icelandic crew and a talented artist: his artwork headlines our Icelandic Invasion story. In June 2025 Pict1on made it clear the whole group expected him at Fanfest, with dire Viking consequences if he missed it again. On 9 October 2025 he took part in a gang fight that netted a Claymore command ship, a Scimitar and a pair of heavy assault cruisers.

Godwookie

Godwookie keeps a low profile in chat, but not on the killboard. On 10 January 2026 he was on back to back dreadnought kills: a Revelation Navy Issue and a Revelation.

Fartillery

Pict1on welcomed Fartillery in October 2025, "proudly repping Iceland and bringing even more Nordic firepower". His best public kills are dreadnoughts: a Phoenix Navy Issue in November 2025 and a Revelation Navy Issue in April 2026, plus a Vargur in January.

Silvermen Orti

The newest name here. Silvermen Orti joined in September 2026 on the recommendation of xXchochiXx and Janwaar. Tamanade welcomed him "to the mad house", and Harrat sorted his Discord access so he could "finally see his welcome messages". His killboard story is still to be written.
