Artemis Fowl II is a member of the Fowls, an infamous Irish crime family. He is the first of their members who attempts to turn the family's efforts toward the legitimate.
[edit] Disappearance
Some time before the start of the first book, he decides to turn all of the family's businesses legitimate. Soon after the fall of the Soviet Union, he attempts to strike a trade deal with Russia. He takes the family ship, the Fowl Star, loaded with 250 thousand cans of cola, from his home in Ireland to Russia. When he passes the Gulf of Kola in Murmansk, Russia, however, the Russian Mafiya destroy the ship with a stolen missile and take him captive.[1] He also loses a leg in the process.
