Artemis Fowl

Personality:   Artemis was a certified child genius, having the "highest tested IQ in Europe". A product of his father's criminal empire, his incredible intellect, and criminal tendencies afford him with the ability to construct and execute brilliant and complicated plans. However, this places him in a position of social disadvantage, as he trusts no one enough to regard them with true affection or respect. It was noted that his childhood was orderly and disciplined, which had a profound effect on his psychological development. His father's capture by the Russian Mafia, and his mother's subsequent descent into madness forced him to take on adult responsibilities at the tender age of eleven. Artemis initially displayed a cold, ruthless, and almost psychopathic nature, compounded by his surety in his own intelligence. As the head of a disintegrating criminal empire, he presented a controlled, cruel, and manipulative personality. He has many times shown his lack of respect for others he knows. However, the young boy underneath the premature adult mask sometimes does shine through, and with the help of his loved ones, he comes to cast off an amoral, selfish lifestyle in pursuit of a career that benefits all of Earth's inhabitants, while allowing him to exercise his aforementioned intellect. After his initial encounter with Holly Short, he remarks that he finds some of his criminal ventures less than palatable, and he comes to regret (and apologize for) Holly's abduction. When he travels back in time, in he is appalled to realize just how sadistic, cruel, and obnoxious he was before he met the People. His evolving moral compass allows him to become a more open, honest, and trustworthy person, and he often finds himself playing the reluctant hero in his adventures. He gradually leaves behind his loneliness and embraces the people in his life as true friends and equals. His love for his friends and family is genuine, and he will often put their well-being ahead of his goals and personal safety. If a plan is necessary for the sake of a loved one, he will execute it, consequences are damned. However, this caused a realization of his previous wrongdoings, which triggered a syndrome known as Atlantis Complex. After hitting puberty in The Lost Colony, Artemis shows a normal romantic interest in girls, but his compulsion to present himself in a formal and imposing manner delays many normal social interactions for boys his age. He enjoys using his brain and has studied many fields in depth, becoming an expert in electronics, psychology, sociology, physics, literature, fine art, and music, to name a few. He has even contributed to the general body of knowledge under several pseudonyms. The Fowl Family is an Irish criminal dynasty, which dates back to at least the Norman Conquest. It has amassed a stupendous fortune through both legitimate and illegitimate excursions. These fortunes have been placed in jeopardy in recent times by Artemis's father, Artemis Fowl I, who invested a huge chunk of the Fowl fortune in founding new shipping lanes to the country of Russia, following the breakdown of communism there. The Russian Mafia did not take kindly to a Westerner playing in on their market, and sunk his vessel, the Fowl Star. Artemis Fowl I was injured and held hostage, by The Russian Mafia, after a sweep for any survivors. Artemis, who was nine at the time his father disappeared, vowed to regain the Fowl fortune. Following leads on the Internet, he discovers the existence of an underground world of fairies, and at age twelve, attempts to, and succeeds at stealing their gold. He also uses many pseudonyms and aliases to hide his identity; most reflect his intellectual level. They include "F. Roy Dean Schlippe" (Freudian slip), "Stefan Bakshir" (Russian child chess prodigy as well as character from The Supernaturalist), "Alfonse Lee" (teenage son of Colonel Xavier Lee, one of Butler's aliases), "Emmesey Squire" (E = mc2), "Dr. C. Niall DeMensha" (senile dementia), "Sir E. Brum" (cerebrum), Malachy Pasteur, and "Violet Tsirblou" (Violets are blue). The latter two are mentioned in the sixth book of the series, The Time Paradox. Violet Tsirblou was the pseudonym he first mentioned having used as an author to write romance novels at age ten. Malachy Pasteur was a false identity he used to join the Extinctionists' Database. In The Lost Colony, his birthday is noted to be September 1st as confirmed in The Atlantis Complex. In The Fowl Twins Deny All Charges, when Lazuli is in Villa Eco, Angeline Fowl says to her that her family left from Russia to Ireland. So there are chances that Angeline is Russian so Arty is half Russian. However, Angeline might've just lived there, so he might not be Russian after all. Artemis is said to be abnormally pale and has been compared to a vampire on several occasions. His smile is said to be vampiric. He is very slender and not physically fit, with dark raven black hair. In the Graphic Novel, it shows that Artemis has a prominent widow's peak, although in the books it is mentioned that his hair falls over his forehead, suggesting it to be styled differently. Artemis was born with startling blue eyes, but, thanks to traveling through Limbo, he acquired heterochromia iridium as he and Holly Short swapped eyes; each now had one blue eye and one hazel eye. However, at the end of The Last Guardian, after Artemis' original body had died, Artemis' soul was inserted into a clone's body, and both his eyes are now blue again. Foaly also stated that the clone has six toes on his left foot. In The Lost Colony, Artemis Fowl hitches a ride with a demon on a time jump. When he returns to his time stream, his pointer and middle finger have been switched. Throughout the whole series, there is no other mention of this physical deformation except at the end of the fifth book when he reveals he has stolen magic. After N°1 helps them travel through time again, he enters the time stream physically fourteen, comes out in the past seventeen, and returns to the present at the age of fourteen again. In an extract of The Atlantis Complex, Artemis is shown to be 5'5" and weighs fifty-five kilos (one hundred twenty-one pounds). It has been heavily emphasized that Artemis has never been exposed to (or at least never done) manual labor and is obviously soft muscled, as seen in The Arctic Incident, when he had trouble just jumping off and gripping the side of the train; The Opal Deception, when he and Holly are trying to escape a pack of trolls he can barely keep up with her by just even climbing a ladder; The Lost Colony, when he had to pull a bomb into a crater for an energy source; and in The Time Paradox, when he tries to get the lemur Jayjay off the power lines he can barely move his own body weight on a crank platform; during the fight with Kronski and how his blows do not affect the man at all; and when he sprints to the Fowl Manor Garage and could barely make the 100 yard run. This makes it obvious that if Artemis did not have Butler with him all the time, none of his plans could have been carried out, due to the fact Artemis is not a physical person. Artemis also seems to disdain the idea of actual exercise, as Butler has tried to coach him in physical fitness but he does not cooperate, and how he has made excuses before to get out of gym class. During the first few pages of The Time Paradox, we learn that the only form of exercise he has taken up had been horse back riding, due to the fact that the horse did most of the work. Later, during an attempt to rescue the Silky Sifaka Lemur, he takes a serious note of his lack of physical fitness and remembers how Butler has tried to train him in the gym. It is revealed in The Atlantis Complex that Artemis has began to improve on his physical fitness and has taking up training in MMA with Butler as his trainer. As Artemis deals with his moral and character development all through the trials he experiences over the series, it eventually negatively impacts his mental health and self-perception. He becomes more aware of his wrong doings, regretting some of his more heinous crimes, especially the kidnap of Holly in the first book, and the giving away of Jayjay to the Extinctionists, although the latter was revered in the Time Paradox. The normally self-assured and confident Artemis who holds himself in high regard over time begins to see himself in a more negative light and begins to see the consequences of the plans he drags his friends and family into. Many people risk their lives for him in the course of his schemes, such as Butler defending him in the Eternity Code. Even smaller transgressions like telling lies, such as hiding the truth of his adventures from his parents for most of the series, or lying to Holly about his motivations in the Time Paradox, start to weigh on him more heavily. This all culminates in the Atlantis Complex, where the pent up feelings and regrets Artemis has held inside begin to present as overt behaviors and mannerisms that others are able to identify in him. He becomes paranoid and anxious at the thought of his family and friends holding grudges against him and plotting revenge. He has delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia that something bad will happen to him as a result of all he has done. He feels he has lost control over his life, and develops some obsessive-compulsive habits and thought patterns, such as organizing items and counting, to try and find little things that are within his complete control. At first, reassurance from others does not quell these fears. and in some cases. only magnifies them in his mind. It takes repetitive efforts and more concrete actions for Artemis to begin to believe that his friends and family care for him and know that he has changed as a person. The Atlantis Complex ends with Holly comforting Artemis that she and others will be there with him through his recovery process. In the Last Guardian, Artemis has unlearned most of his unhealthy coping mechanisms, but still seems to have some lingering feelings of regret, and feels he still needs to prove himself a more moral person. This is best exemplified how he thinks the best course of action to save his family, and humanity as a whole, from extinction at the hands of Opal, is to sacrifice his life, with no guarantee that he will be able to be resurrected. It is unknown beyond the Last Guardian where he is now in maintaining his mental health, but based on the reactions of others upon his resurrection, and the feelings expressed by Artemis I in Deny all Charges, that it is likely he was told many times how relieved his friends and family are that he is alive again, hopefully assuring him that others care for him. Artemis appears to continue to be highly productive in his years after the main series, with his current project of space exploration on Mars, obtaining a PHD, and the creation of NANNI before his departure. There may be some difficulties in his personal life, as is shown that he pursued a romantic relationship with Minerva before they broke up, with her saying that his "only soulmate" was himself. Alternatively, this could just imply that he prefers familial and platonic relationships over romantic ones. He has a slight dust-mite allergy.
