Jon Spiro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jon Spiro is a character from the Artemis Fowl book, Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code. He is a Chicago businessman in charge of a ficticious company called Fission Chips.
He is described as "a middle-aged American, thin as a javelin, and barely taller than Artemis [Fowl] himself." He usually wears a white linen suit—his tradmark—and a large amount of gold jewelry. He also wears an ID bracelet, which was a "birthday present to himself." He works with Arno Blunt as his bodyguard.
Artemis Fowl arranges a meeting with Jon Spiro to discuss his invention called the C Cube. During the meeting, however, Spiro outwits Artemis by hiding assassins in the restaurant where they have lunch. He stole the C Cube and left Arno Blunt, his body guard, to kill Artemis and Butler. Butler is then fatally wounded by Blunt, but was revived with the help of Holly's magic. When Artemis went on his mission to retrieve the cube, Juliet took her brother's place and was Artemis' bodyguard. Artemis, Holly, and Mulch Diggums helped Artemis take the cube back, and Spiro was sent to jail.
He is generally reckoned to be a man not to be messed with.
