Artemis Fowl Characters

We could try to describe Artemis, but let's be honest—there's no one quite like him. He is, as we like to say when we're feeling fancy and lofty and literary, what you might call an enigma. So on...

The first thing you'll hear about Holly Short is that she's the only female officer in Recon. It has a lot to do with who she is and what she wants, so we've covered it extensively in other section...

Before we dig into Butler, we'd like to present you with a bit of context on how he came to find himself more or less attached at the hip to Artemis. Check it out:  The Butlers had been servi...

Unlike the rest of the fairy population, Julius is a major player in this book. Sure he starts out with a desk job, but when Holly gets kidnapped, he reactivates himself in the force at blinding sp...
