Artemis Fowl Senior is Artemis's father. Artemis's father was once an organized crime boss, but has since become a legitimate business man committed to saving the world. However, when Artemis was ten, his father disappeared and Artemis became the man of the house, leaving him to govern his mother's spending and to begin making his own criminal deals. This led to the selling of the lemur. Artemis, the younger, was trying to save his father, but by doing so he was stopping the older Artemis from saving his mother.
