Every corporation has its regulars, its newcomers and its characters. This edition of Faces of TNF sits down (figuratively, nobody here sits still) with six pilots who make the corp channels louder, the killboard redder and the Fanfest planning thread a lot longer.
Anhenka: the returning veteran who does his homework
How did he arrive? Anhenka came back to New Eden in June 2025 after a break of more than half a decade, and Odysemus put out the welcome in the new members channel.
What does he do with his time? A bit of everything, and he reports back. After three weeks of planetary industry he called it "absolutely worth the hassle to set up" and thanked the corpmates who helped with spreadsheets and tips. In the PvE channel he shared his ratting results so others could learn from them.
Best roam story? In August 2025 a roam caught a rather pricey Porpoise. Its owner answered by sending two freshly reshipped mining alts at the gang. Anhenka's verdict: killing them "felt a bit like kicking a puppy".
Signature kill: a share of a Bane worth about 18.5 billion ISK in November 2025.
Aralo Meza: Fanfest's quartermaster
When you get to the airport and there is no line, you know its too early.
Aralo Meza started building the TNF Fanfest 2026 list in June 2025, eleven months before anyone boarded a plane. He booked his ticket in August, counted down the days ("157 days left" in December), voted yes on a TNF flag the moment it was suggested and asked the important practical question about Motty's 3D printed keyfobs: are there holes so we can tie them to something?
He also pitched in on the old site, pointing members to the guides page he had written as examples.
Signature kill: on the killmail of a Leviathan worth about 157 billion ISK in August 2026.
Ardagan Fatal: the logi pilot everyone warned
Ardagan Fatal joined in September 2026 with an unusual request: he wanted to fly logistics. Harrat welcomed him with "Let's teach him the ways of murder", and Killjoy Ender followed up with a cautionary tale that began "Logi is how it always starts".
What happened next proved both of them right. Within a week Ardagan was on the killmail of an Apostle worth about 6.7 billion ISK, his first TNF kill. After a later fleet he admitted he had been so focused on keeping people alive that he never checked whether anything died. He has also asked the question every corp loves to hear: is there something the corp needs?
Emperor Caligula: streamer, joker, Icelander
Emperor Caligula was one of the first Icelanders with Fanfest tickets in hand, according to Pict1on's June 2025 roll call. He is a regular in the PvP channel, posting kills through summer 2025 and crediting MontyGTV for "being a crafty crock" on one of them. In October 2025 he finished a long personal project live on stream, then cut a video of it for the corp.
He is also one of the corp's most reliable welcome committee members, greeting new arrivals with the perfect GIF, and he crowned Sllice the "new king of Catch" when Sllice topped the monthly kill chart in September 2025.
Signature kill: on the killmail of an Avatar worth about 182 billion ISK in December 2025.
Killjoy Ender: the voice of experience
Killjoy Ender is a quiet presence in channel until a new pilot appears, and then he is first in line with a "Welcome!". In September 2025 he was "stoked" to finally get into a big fight. At Fanfest time he could not travel, but he still called Motty 007 "the SWAG king" for the coasters and keyfobs and blocked off his calendar for next year.
Signature kill: the same Avatar as Emperor Caligula, December 2025.
Judas Aralius: the edger
Judas Aralius arrived in March 2026 with Trajon Thrax and immediately went hunting. By April 1 Kloria was congratulating him and Lex Ashwari-Thrace for "crushing the kill contest". When corpmates praised him for pushing TNF up the alliance kill chart, he deflected:
Its def not all me. We have a lot of dudes on a lot doing hard work. I just brought enough to push us over that edge.
He added that the people are "the reason I chose this corp over all the other options I had". miki Terona agreed it was a corp effort, but called it good work anyway.
His Avatar kill came in September 2026, and his June summary of the corp's mood was simple: "TNFED represent".
