How would one explain Artemis Fowl? A child prodigy, son of the Napoleon of Crime, many have tried but all have failed. That fate was mostly ensured by his father who has quite the interesting definition of 'failed.' Let's just say that everyone who got too close to his son would cash in only to bite the dust. Artemis was very much aware of these activities that were happening all around him. It was after all obvious when someone of their household suddenly went missing. But who was he to state his opinion? He did not want to anger his father. No. He wanted to make him proud. All he sought in his life was approval from the man that taught him everything he knew. From the man who took care of his needs. You see, Artemis wasn't raised to be an ordinary teenager, he was raised to be a business partner since he was the sole heir of his father's criminal organization. He was his only lineage. He didn't exactly have any close and sappy filled moments with his father, matter of fact even thinking that made him sick to his very core. He didn't have a normal life like other children. He wasn't like any other child. He was manipulative, ambitious, cunning, deceptive, but most of all he was a thief. He was many other things but he wasn't a murderer. His father filled that area with his cruel ways, the things that he did to other human beings were almost unthinkable. Almost. For Artemis it was a part of his daily life. He lived and breathed his father's criminal activities, matter of fact he even participated in them. With all this in mind, it was nearly impossible to believe that beneath Artemis' cold facade that he was still just a child. That he was still
only a boy.
