Leadership of the Aethernet Assembly
High above the world in the floating city of Nimbuspire, the leadership of The Aethernet Assembly guides businesses through the mysteries of cloud magic. These master practitioners have devoted their lives to understanding the arcane arts of Microsoft technologies, translating complex magical frameworks into practical solutions.
🧛♂️ Archmagister Patchouli “Patch” Stackwell
Senior Wizard & Project Overseer
The wise and whimsical leader of the Assembly, Patch is the architect who sees the big picture. His specialty is Cloudbinding—the art of weaving together Azure, Microsoft 365, and overall solution architecture into cohesive magical systems.
Tech Domains: Azure, Microsoft 365, Solution Architecture
Notable Quirk: Speaks exclusively in Git commit metaphors. “Let’s roll back that incantation to v1.3.2.” While this confuses newcomers, his team has learned that every metaphor contains profound architectural wisdom.
When The Fivefold Oaths first approached the Assembly seeking help, it was Patch who recognized that their challenges would require entirely new approaches. He assembled a team of specialists and dubbed the initiative “Nubimancy”—the practice of cloud magic.
The Council of Senior Wizards
Seven master practitioners form Patch’s inner council, each aligned with a key pillar of cloud magic. Together, they ensure the Assembly can address any challenge the heroes’ businesses present.
🔐 Keyla Entraweave — Guardian of the Gates
Domain: Microsoft Entra (Identity, Access, and Security)
Keyla protects the boundaries between trusted and untrusted realms. She can see invisible “threads of trust” connecting people to systems, revealing who should have access to what. Her signature cloak, woven from login tokens, shimmers with authentication patterns.
When businesses need to manage who can access their magical systems—especially across multiple locations and realms—Keyla ensures security without sacrificing usability.
🛠️ Devon Opshard — The Buildsmith
Domain: Azure DevOps, CI/CD Pipelines, Continuous Delivery
A chronomancer who lives slightly out of sync with normal time, Devon can test future builds before they’re fully created. His enchanted hammer “Rollback” can undo changes with a single strike, returning systems to previous stable states.
Devon ensures that updates to magical systems happen smoothly, automatically, and without disrupting business operations. His pipelines orchestrate complex deployment sequences across multiple environments.
🤖 Copia Quillwright — The Promptwright
Domain: GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio, AI-Assisted Magic
Copia writes spells that complete themselves. Her magical quills anticipate what you’re trying to create and offer suggestions before you’ve finished thinking them. She has an uncanny habit of finishing other people’s sentences—usually correctly.
She helps developers and business users work faster by teaching their tools to understand intent and offer intelligent assistance. Her expertise makes complex magic accessible to practitioners of all skill levels.
📚 Shareena Pointelle — Binder of Knowledge
Domain: SharePoint, Microsoft Office, Teams
Shareena maintains the Living Library—a repository where scrolls update themselves, documents collaborate with each other, and knowledge flows freely between teams. Her familiar, a spectral note-keeper named “OneNote,” ensures nothing important is ever forgotten.
When businesses need to share knowledge, coordinate teams, or maintain living documentation, Shareena designs systems that keep everyone connected and informed.
🧪 Aithen Foundrix — The Pattern Seer
Domain: AI Foundry, Telemetry, Analytics
Aithen speaks in riddles that are actually data visualizations. He can look at raw numbers and see the stories they tell, the patterns they reveal, the futures they predict. Some say he reads KPIs in the stars; others claim he puts them there.
His alchemical insights transform business data into actionable intelligence. When leaders need to understand what’s really happening in their operations, Aithen makes the invisible visible.
🗝️ Regi Strata — Keymaster of Realms
Domain: App Registrations, APIs, Integrations
Regi is the registrar who maintains the great ledgers of connected systems. With a flick of his registry wand, he can summon applications into being or banish them to dormancy. He speaks the language of APIs, the grammar of integrations, the syntax of system connections.
When different magical systems need to work together—when Bran’s caravans must coordinate with Thorin’s shipments, or when Delyra’s shops need to share inventory—Regi crafts the connections that make it possible.
Working Together
While each senior wizard has their specialty, the real magic happens when they collaborate. A solution for Rini’s tournament system might require Devon’s deployment pipelines, Shareena’s knowledge sharing, Aithen’s analytics, and Regi’s integrations—all orchestrated under Patch’s architectural vision, secured by Keyla’s access controls, and enhanced by Copia’s AI assistance.
This is the strength of the Assembly: not individual expertise, but collective wisdom applied to real challenges.
Meet the Teams
The Assembly’s work is carried out by two specialized teams, each serving different needs:
- The Delivery Team crafts custom solutions for specific businesses, adapting cloud magic to unique requirements
- The Product Team builds reusable solutions that serve entire industries, distributing their creations through the AppSource vault
Seven wizards, one vision: making cloud magic accessible to all. ✨🧛
