Section Eight (Artemis Fowl)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Section Eight is a secret branch of the Lower Elements Police in the Artemis Fowl book series. It is a covert intelligence-gathering division and receives the most funding and the most advanced technology. Their foremost purpose is intelligence on the location, rehabilitation, and general welfare of all demons that materialize from their other-dimension. By the time of Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony (where Section Eight is introduced), Wing Commander Vinyáya is the Council's chairwoman to Section Eight and its technical director position has just been filled by the centaur Foaly. Holly Short is recruited as captain into the organisation after leaving her own small private investigation company. Vinyáya reveals the Section's original founder to be the late Council Chairwoman Nan Burdeh who left her enormous fortune to Section Eight after her death, allowing Foaly to go all out with state of the art equipment and security systems.
