Born in Mumbai India on April 27th, 2184, Damien Avandi was involved in the sport as an engineer for AG-craft during the FX300 league. He was somewhat involved working with FEISAR during the league, including Harimau in Southern Asia. However, his engineering skills were mostly used for outside the league, currently aiding for the amateur pilots and their own AG-craft on makeshift or abandoned circuits. Not only did he build AG-craft, but so did he test pilot them. Damien had gained experience controlling smaller craft since he was a teenager, testing his work after completion of certain builds and went on to engineer more larger advanced race craft after graduating from an institution. His first experience with a large craft took place in Nepal on an abandoned yet still in use AG-track of Sagarmatha. Piloting a FEISAR F7200 model craft for an amateur event in the country, Damien would experience a faster and durable craft for the first time. Though seeing, even working with some professional teams on their craft, there has never been a point where he had ever flown a faster and larger machine beyond Venom speeds that he was use to. His interests would have him seeking for a professional racing career during the end of the FX350 league in 2207.
Though having involvement and familiarity with teams, FEISAR and Harimau, Damien chose to take professional training out west of India to sign himself with Mirage in the UAE. With Mirage's Scarab-1 craft being a balanced machine in terms of performance, his skills would play a major factor during training on the courses of the MAGEC Facility in Dubai. His skill and performance was very well received by the team, and after half a year in the Facility, Damien was now officially racing for the FX400 league.
Damien raced independently throughout the FX400 racing league and has made a few top 3 finishes against the pilots he was matched with. His positions would place him with the professional pilots in the league along with earning sponsors. Sure enough his progress then gets the attention of an elite pilot on the same team. During the mid FX400 seasons, Damien would get discovered by Emirati pilot, Sebak Abou-Gazia, currently partnered with his Egyptian female teammate, Farah Al-Qasimi. Sebak was more impressed by his racing over Farah, that in most team tournaments, the two would compete together on winning a Vertigo league tournament trophy for their team. However, Farah was still dependent to Sebak, and he himself pledged to be her secondary pilot after their race dual back in Dubai with Farah becoming the winner. Damien was only a backup pilot to Sebak, but either way, he continued to race by himself in most race events near the end of the FX400 League.
Throughout competition, Damien does meet with Harimau again, only for his team to be allies. His only ally from Harimau, Jusef Suyanto, formed not only an alliance but also a friendly relationship outside the track. However with rivalries it was something that he never expressed about, although there was speculation that a pilot from Van Uber had posed a challenge during the seasons. By the beginning of the FX500 league in 2215, Damien would continue to rise and win more future events on his lone career. Though meeting again with Sebak for more team races, he will eventually become a secondary pilot for another squad in Mirage in late 2217. Overall, he'll still continue to race for the upcoming years into the current gen racing league, soon to reach elite rank in his racing career by 2218. Still impress with Mirage of their new craft design, he will stay with the team till the end of the decade.
