Over the course of the book, all his teeth are blown out and replaced with several sets of customized dentures: a porcelain set, sharpened to points; a flat porcelain set "for crushing stuff"; and a strange set, half filled with blue water, half filled with oil. In an attempt to kill Artemis, Blunt shoots Domovoi Butler, Artemis Fowl II's bodyguard, nearly killing him. At the end of the book, Blunt plans to ambush Artemis but is caught by Butler, masquerading as a spirit from hell
, and Blunt confesses. During the storyline, he is represented as everything Butler is not—brash, conspicuous and careless—despite the fact they both have the same job and bulk.

Mervall and Descant Brill are twin pixies from Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception. They are known together as "the Brill brothers" and individually by other characters as "Merv" and "Scant". Although they are twins, Mervall is slightly older and is considered smarter. Mervall and Descant sometimes finish each other's sentences. They have appeared on numerous fairy television shows and have attained somewhat of a celebrity status in the Lower Elements, as fairy twins are extremely rare, and pixie twins are even rarer.
Merv and Scant are agents of
clone
. The Brill brothers continue to serve Koboi throughout the rest of the book, performing tasks including piloting and maintaining her shuttle, escorting, and cooking.
However, Koboi's personality changes greatly after her rescue, and she becomes intolerably paranoid and obsessive, taking out her anger on them. She writes a list of rules for the brothers, including demands that they bow before her, avoid looking at her directly (claiming it's "bad for her skin"), not pass wind, not use slang, and not "think too loudly" near her after she begins to claim that she is psychic. The Brill brothers become resentful of her rules. Only fear and the promise of escape to Barbados keeps them loyal to her.
However, Koboi betrays them in the end by ejecting them from her shuttle against the chute wall, leaving them stranded in impact gel. Foaly later reveals that the brothers survived and quickly gave information on Koboi after they were picked up.
The brothers appear again in
The Time Paradox as their younger selves, helping the past Opal Koboi increase her magical powers by extracting the body fluids of supposedly extinct
animals thrown down to them unknowingly by the Extinctionists. Koboi apparently attacks them at the end of one chapter. After Artemis escapes from her, Koboi says that she has to blame someone, and in the twins' attempt to escape the ensuing rampage, "they didn't run fast enough".

No. 1

Fictional character

No. 1
Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian
Created by Eoin Colfer
In-universe information
Species Demon (Warlock)
Gender Male

No. 1 is an apprentice
Artemis Fowl series. He first appears in Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony
, where he is one of the main characters. He is featured in every book following The Lost Colony.
No. 1 is a bit of an oddity, even for a warlock. He detests many
mesmerising him to jump into the volcano on Hybras
. This, however, fails to kill No. 1, and instead successfully sends him to Earth.
Minerva Paradizo later kidnaps him. Before he is liberated, No. 1 develops the gift of tongues in a conversation with
warlock
.
No. 1, though intelligent, is somewhat childish in many of his habits. He is quite naive at times, misinterpreting the implications of words said or directed at him. He enjoys stating the obvious, and explaining things of little relevance. He is extremely docile, even by warlock standards and, for a good portion of the fifth book, Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, possesses very little self-confidence or pride, often wishing himself away when he is being bullied, rather than wishing the actual bullies away. However, at the end of
The Lost Colony
, he stands up against Abbot, thus displaying a new strength.
His mentor is Qwan, who sees No. 1 as the most powerful warlock ever to exist. On Hybras, Qwan states, "In 10 years, he will be able to move the island on his own". At that time, it took five magical beings to move the island. At one point, Foaly states that No. 1 sounded like a cheap romance novel, speaking with medieval vocabulary learned from the book Abbot brought to Hybras. He uses over-romanticized phrases such as "...I have no idea where we are and where we're going, but I already feel more at home than I ever have." When agitated, No. 1 uses a large number of synonyms to release his stress. He has a soft spot for a demoness with red markings similar to his own, whom he believes might be his mother.
In Time Paradox, he plays a major role in sending Artemis Fowl II and Holly Short back in time and anchoring them so they can come back with the lemur.
In Atlantis Complex, Turnball Root attempts to force No. 1 to keep his human wife, who is dying of old age, young forever.
No. 1 makes a brief cameo appearance in The Last Guardian, in a flashback.

P

Minerva Paradizo

Minerva Paradizo is a character appearing exclusively in Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony, where she is 12 years old. She initially served as an antagonist, but after being foiled by Artemis and betrayed by Kong, she allies with Artemis's friends.
She is presented as being equally intelligent as Artemis, a mirror image of himself, but ultimately he is able to best her due to his alliance with the technologically superior fairies, and by playing on the same personality weaknesses he once suffered from. Minerva is a criminal genius who captures the imp No. 1 and tries to present him as her project for the Nobel Prize in Stockholm. She is younger than Artemis but, due to his returning from Limbo three years late, they are now the same age. She believes she can outsmart him when he tries to save the magical world from discovery. According to Domovoi Butler at the end of the book, she has "become quite the beauty", and has developed feelings for Artemis. Minerva is not mentioned in any of the other Artemis Fowl books (though she does come back for one scene in The Fowl Twins: Get What They Deserve. It is revealed that Minerva and Artemis were "an item" as she puts it, and they did not part on the best of terms).

Gaspard Paradizo

Gaspard Paradizo is the father of Minerva Paradizo. He briefly appears in Artemis Fowl and The Lost Colony. Following his successful reclamation of Holly Short and No. 1, he attempts to calm Minerva down after the great siege on Chateau Paradizo, but is knocked out when Billy Kong strikes him with a knife. Gaspard Paradizo is not mentioned in any of the other Artemis Fowl books.

)

Julius Root

Commander Julius Root, commonly known as Beetroot among some of the LEPrecon because his facial complexion is frequently purple, was the commander of the LEPrecon at the time Artemis Fowl first discovered the people. Prior to being promoted to Major, he was the most successful field operative in recon history, with many of his exploits involving the criminal dwarf Mulch Diggums. Root arrested Mulch on 8 occasions, one in which Mulch almost beheaded him with a diamond cutter, and the last after Mulch's successful break-in and robbery of Koboi Labs; Mulch was only caught because he tried to sell an experimental alchemy vat to one of Root's informants. This led to Mulch becoming overly familiar with Root, often calling him Julius to annoy the commander. While Commander Root's fearsome temper was his most notable trait, he was universally accepted as the best LEP commander of modern times, thanks to his immense experience, his willingness to get his hands dirty and think outside the box (it was his idea to recruit Mulch Diggums for the Fowl Manor siege), and absolute faith in the abilities of his trusted officers. Although Captain Holly Short thinks he dislikes her due to her being the first female officer in recon, he actually shows strong belief in her abilities, and is determined that she live up to her potential. He also reveals a deep liking for her later in the series, leading some officers to think of their friendship a father to daughter bond. Root threatens to resign when Holly's career is threatened after the Artemis Fowl affair, and is also responsible for her being recommended for the position of Major. However, before he can see this through, Root is killed in Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception in a trick by Opal Koboi.^[15]

Turnball Root

Species Elf
Gender Male

Turnball Root is the elder brother of Julius Root. Turnball Root originally appeared in a short story featured in an exclusive edition of the Time Paradox, but he has since been used as the primary antagonist in
Holly Short and Artemis Fowl II. Artemis escapes the runes' power by goading Ragby into electrocuting him. In the process, he makes Orion, who was free of the runes' control, the dominant personality. Captain Short does not escape the runes' power. She obeys Root and subsequently knocks out Juliet Butler, forcing Orion Fowl
to shoot her with Root's chemical gun.
Root was previously a captain serving in LEPrecon, but was forced to quit after he tried to flood a section of Haven City in order to wipe out a competitor who was muscling in on his illegal mining operation. His younger brother stopped him just in time, which forced Root to flee to the surface and spend over five centuries on the run, during which he had 96 residences, including a villa near Nice, France. After the incident, Root has his own page in LEPrecon's Criminally Insane section.
In LEPrecon, Root lures his brother Julius into a trap while testing
Holly Short in the Tern Islands, wishing to end Julius' endless chase of him. Along with his two cronies, Bobb Ragby and Unix B'Lob, he traps Holly Short and Trouble Kelp inside a human residence on the island and sets Short up for Julius to "tag" her (which would cause her to fail her test), while Bobb and Unix have their rifles turned at him. Short, however, manages to warn Julius and capture Root. After his capture, Root attempts to commit suicide
by swallowing one of his Tunnel Blue spiders, which would rip his body apart from the inside. However, Julius saves his brother by forcing some coffee down Root's throat, which kills the spider.
Root dies in Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex.
