Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Commander Ark Sool was the highest-ranking officer in the Lower Elements Police, introduced in Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception. An unusually tall and thin gnome, he is a strict and stubborn adherer to regulations. His no-nonsense attitude often pits him against the centaur Foaly, the fairies' chief technical advisor, and inadvertently causes Sool to assume that Captain Holly Short was the only possible murderer of Commander Julius Root.

Throughout the book, he narrow-mindedly pursues Short without considering other possible suspects. In reality, Short was innocent; she had been set up by the pixie genius and megalomaniac Opal Koboi as part of her plans for revenge. Even after Holly is cleared of the crime, Sool intends to keep a close eye on her to catch any infractions. His promotion to LEP Reconnaissance Commander compels Captain Short to leave the police force so she can serve the Fairy People without having her every action scrutinized. It should also be noted that Sool has few friends due to his domineering nature, and was the only one of seven council members who voted against Captain Short in a proceeding to determine if she was innocent of Commander Root's murder. In the fifth book, Sool lost his position as head of the LEP after it was revealed that he planned to allow the eighth Fairy family (Demons) to die off. His successor is as yet unknown.

Spoilers end here.
