Artemis Fowl I (AR-tuh-mis Fowl)

A Thief

Artemis Fowl, I (a.k.a. The Fairy Thief, Genius of Ireland)

Born on September 23, 1828, in Dublin, Ireland, Artemis Fowl I was destined for brilliance from an early age. A scion of the wealthy Fowl family, known for their intellect and resourcefulness, Artemis quickly became a household name for his groundbreaking heists and unparalleled cunning. His precocious mind made him a prodigy in science, art, and languages, and by his teenage years, he had already orchestrated elaborate schemes that defied both conventional and supernatural laws. Driven by a desire to restore his family's fortune and elevate their status, Artemis delved into the arcane world of fairy folklore, seeking the ancient secrets that lay hidden beneath Ireland’s soil. His daring endeavors often brought him into conflict with magical beings, but his ability to navigate both human and otherworldly spheres earned him the begrudging respect of his adversaries. He was often described as a "genius too clever for his own good," as his insatiable curiosity frequently led him into danger. In his later years, Artemis sought redemption for the havoc his earlier pursuits caused. His involvement with powerful relics culminated in a mysterious heist involving a legendary fairy artifact. Following this operation in 1881, Artemis Fowl I disappeared without a trace. While many believe he perished, whispers persist that he transcended dimensions, possibly entering a realm of magical refuge where his intellect found new purpose.

League Member Note
Dates Active in League: 1870-1880
A brilliant mind in a world of shadows, Artemis Fowl I brings his unparalleled ingenuity and strategic prowess to The League. Once a master manipulator driven by personal ambition, his alliance with the League signifies a shift toward a greater purpose. His ability to anticipate the moves of allies and enemies alike makes him a vital component of the team’s success. While Artemis's resourcefulness and penchant for intricate schemes bolster the League’s efforts, his enigmatic demeanor keeps even his closest allies guessing. Haunted by the moral ambiguities of his past, he views his work with the League as both penance and an opportunity to leave a lasting mark on the world. His loyalty, though often veiled in pragmatism, runs deeper than he cares to admit. Through the League, Artemis has found a new outlet for his intellect—one that challenges him in ways he never anticipated. He remains a figure of calculated elegance, using his cunning not for personal gain but for the preservation of a world he has come to realize is far more intricate than his own ambitions.
