Who is Artemis Fowl?

Well here’s how he describes himself:

Arrogant as it may seem, I believe that I was always destined for greatness. Not in the conventional sense of the word - the Fowls have never succumbed to convention, nor will they ever. For I, Artemis Fowl, am the greatest criminal mastermind that has ever lived. Some may ridicule this claim, particularly in light of my teenage status, but who are they to doubt someone who has discovered parallel worlds, deciphered ancient languages, adapted technology light years ahead of our own, to mention but a few of my accomplishments. In spite of my, so called, tender age, my achievements far outweigh those of any other human.

And now he has an exciting new book out called Artemis Fowl and the Atlantis Complex!
