Contents

[edit] Role

Butler is a member of the Butler family, a family in the Artemis Fowl series best known for its relationship with the Fowls. The Butlers have been serving the Fowls as bodyguards since the Norman conquest.[citation needed]

His "principal" (employer) is Artemis Fowl II[citation needed], the main character of the Artemis Fowl series.

[edit] Description and Life

He is described as almost seven feet tall[citation needed] and weighing 90 kilograms (200 lbs)[citation needed], with deep blue eyes[citation needed].

[edit] Family

Little is known about Butler's family, besides his younger sister Juliet. It is revealed in Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident that Butler's uncle (the Major) was Artemis Fowl I's bodyguard. However, in the explosion of the Fowl Star, the Major was killed and his body turned up in a morgue.[citation needed]

[edit] Events

Butler is involved in many significant events during the series.

In the first book, during the siege of Fowl Manor, Butler disarms the elite squadron of the LEPretrieval fairy police force[citation needed], and becomes the first known human to fight a troll and survive.[citation needed]

In Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code, Butler takes a bullet to the chest during an ambush by Jon Spiro and his colleagues. He is cryogenically cooled for several hours before being healed by Holly Short of the Lower Elements Police. The healing uses up some of his own life-force, making him appear and feel about fifteen years older.[citation needed] Afterward, he is subjected to a "selective mind wipe" by the Lower Elements Police to erase all fairy-related memories, as they viewed him and Artemis as a threat to fairy civilization[citation needed] (however, his memories are restored in Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception[citation needed]).

It is mentioned in the last few pages of Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony that twelve year old Minerva Paradizo gets Butler started reading fiction. Artemis notices classics including Moby Dick, Gormenghast, The Art of War, and Gone with the Wind [1] on the book shelf of Butler's residence in the fictional village of Duncade, Ireland [2], where he was awaiting Artemis's return.
