Artemis Fowl II
Artemis Fowl II is a title character and the antihero of the ''Artemis Fowl'' series by Eoin Colfer.
==Origins==
Colfer has said that he based Artemis on his younger brother Donal, who as a child was "a mischievous mastermind who could get out of any trouble he got into". A childhood picture of his brother in his first communion suit caused Colfer to think of how much Colfer's brother resembled "a little ''James Bond'' villain" and "how funny...a twelve-year-old ''James Bond'' villain" would be, inspiring Colfer's creation of Artemis.〔(Eoin Colfer interview on NBC's ''The Today Show'' on MSN Video )(HTML) Retrieved 2 August 2008.〕
Colfer planned for Artemis to have been called Archimedes but changed the name due to an interest in using a "classic Greek name" and trepidation that "people would think (series ) was about (historical figure ) Archimedes". Artemis is a notable choice for a name because while it is traditionally a female name, it "was () sometimes…given to boys as a kind of honorific if their fathers were great hunters". Fowl was derived from the Irish name Fowler as a play on words to convey the characterisation that Artemis was a nasty or foul individual at the beginning of the series.〔(Karen Springen.
