In "Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception," Argon tends to Opal Koboi, a prominent patient in a self-induced coma, whose presence ensures financial support for the clinic. Despite Koboi's manipulative influence, Argon demonstrates reluctance to release her due to the financial benefits.
In subsequent installments, such as "Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex" and "Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian," Argon continues to play a significant role, overseeing the treatment of key characters. His interactions with the Brill brothers, his pixie custodians, reveal a disdain for the nickname "Jerry," underscoring his desire for greater respect from clinic employees, albeit unvoiced due to the rarity of competent staff.

Arno Blunt serves as a secondary antagonist in '' Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code''. Employed as a bodyguard by Jon Spiro, an American businessman, Blunt's appearance is characterized by bleached-blond hair, tattoos, and distinctive attire, including pirate earrings and a cut-off T-shirt. Notably, he harbors a strong aversion to being disregarded or overlooked.
Throughout the narrative, Blunt undergoes significant dental modifications, with all his teeth being replaced by multiple sets of customized dentures, each serving distinct purposes. His reckless and aggressive demeanor is exemplified by his attempt to assassinate Artemis Fowl II, which results in the severe injury of Domovoi Butler, Artemis's bodyguard.
In a climactic confrontation, Blunt's plans to ambush Artemis are thwarted by Butler, who assumes a deceptive guise, prompting Blunt to confess his actions. Contrasted with Butler's composed and discreet nature, Blunt epitomizes a brash and conspicuous counterpart, despite sharing the same professional role and physical stature.

, the Brill brothers serve as her loyal agents, showcasing competence and unwavering dedication. Initially tasked with janitorial duties at the J. Argon clinic, they execute a power disruption to facilitate Koboi's escape, replacing her with a clone. Throughout the narrative, they fulfill various roles for Koboi, including piloting her shuttle, providing security, and culinary responsibilities.
However, Koboi's demeanor shifts drastically following her rescue, exhibiting paranoia and a dictatorial attitude towards the brothers. Imposing stringent rules upon them, she demands obedience, prohibits certain behaviors, and claims psychic abilities, fostering resentment among the Brill brothers. Despite their disillusionment, fear and promises of freedom deter them from disloyalty.
Ultimately, Koboi's betrayal culminates in ejecting the brothers from her shuttle, leaving them stranded. Though presumed dead, they survive and provide critical information to Foaly about Koboi's schemes after being rescued.
In "Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox," the brothers reappear in a younger form, aiding a past version of Opal Koboi in enhancing her magical powers. However, their involvement leads to a confrontation with Koboi, resulting in a narrow escape from her wrath, underscoring the precariousness of their allegiance to her.

of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaissance) during the time Artemis Fowl first discovered the fairy world. Before his promotion to Major, Root was the most successful field operative in LEPrecon history, with numerous exploits involving the criminal dwarf Mulch Diggums. Root arrested Mulch on eight occasions, one of which nearly resulted in Mulch beheading him with a diamond cutter. Mulch was ultimately caught after a successful break-in and robbery of Koboi Labs when he attempted to sell an experimental alchemy vat to one of Root's informants. This led to Mulch becoming overly familiar with Root, often addressing him by his first name, Julius, to annoy him.
Commander Root was known for his fearsome temper, but he was also universally recognized as the best LEP commander of modern times. His reputation stemmed from his extensive experience, his willingness to get personally involved in missions, and his innovative thinking, such as his idea to recruit Mulch Diggums for the Fowl Manor siege. Root had absolute faith in the abilities of his trusted officers and was determined to see them succeed. Although Captain Holly Short initially believed Root disliked her because she was the first female officer in recon, he actually had a strong belief in her abilities and was committed to helping her realize her potential. Their relationship grew into a close bond, with some officers likening it to a father-daughter relationship.
Root's support for Holly was unwavering. He threatened to resign when her career was jeopardized after the Artemis Fowl incident and was responsible for recommending her for the position of Major. Tragically, Root was killed in "Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception" by a trick orchestrated by

Throughout the narrative, Sool exhibits a narrow-minded focus on implicating Holly Short as the sole suspect in Commander Julius Root's murder, disregarding alternative possibilities and manipulating evidence to fit his preconceived notions. Despite Short's eventual exoneration, Sool remains vigilant, vowing to monitor her closely for any transgressions. His subsequent promotion to LEPrecon commander prompts Short's resignation, while also leading to Foaly's temporary departure from the LEP in ''Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony.''
Sool's leadership decisions, including a lockdown of forces during a demon abduction crisis, result in Holly being left without fairy support in the field. However, his tenure is marred by controversy when it is revealed that he harbors intentions to allow the extinction of the eighth fairy family, the demons. This revelation leads to his ousting from his position as head of the LEP, with Trouble Kelp assuming his role.
In ''Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex'', Sool aligns himself with Captain Turnball Root, serving as one of Root's henchmen until Root's escape from prison.
