Trouble Kelp is a character from the Artemis Fowl series of books. He is not a major character in the first book, but becomes more prominent throughout the series. He has a whiny younger brother known as Grub Kelp. Trouble is famous for choosing the name 'Trouble' at his manhood ceremony, having just been accepted into the Lower Elements Police Academy. In the first book he is ranked a captain, but by the fourth book he has been promoted to a major.
In the first book, Artemis Fowl, Trouble's main role is to lead a LEPretrieval team into Fowl Manor, but they are brought down by Butler. Trouble was the first casualty. Grub Kelp is the only fairy left conscious, as Butler uses him as a messenger.
In the second book, Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, Trouble and his brother are stuck in a phone booth, during the B'wa Kell uprising. Trouble uses his own body, protected by a sandwich board, to shield his brother as they race for cover.
In the third book, Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code, Grub is on patrol with Holly Short when Haven is placed into lockdown. When Holly goes back to Police Plaza, she sits next to Trouble at Police Plaza at the Captains table, and they briefly discuss Grub.
In the fourth book, Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception, Trouble is sent in a supersonic attack shuttle to apprehend Holly Short. He is given orders to shoot her down, but refuses. He is a Major in this book, as opposed to his previous rank of Captain.
Trouble Kelp does not appear in the fifth book, Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony.
Eoin Colfer has stated Trouble will play a much larger role in book 6, in a romantic sense to Holly Short.[citation needed]
