Foaly

Foaly is the technical consultant to the Lower Elements Police (LEP}, the fairy police in the Artemis Fowl series written by Eoin Colfer. He is a centaur, and is the inventor of most of the advanced technology possessed by the fairy world. He has a terrible case of paranoia and even wears a tinfoil hat, to avoid being mesmerised (controlled by any other magical being) He is extremely clever and admires Artemis Fowl, as he is the only one who ever understands his technological rants or, as he might put it, "explanations". These "explanations" usually end up with the person he is talking to more confused about the device in question then they were before he explained it, which, of course, was his intention the whole time.

He is impressed with Artemis's invention of the C Cube in Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code, and knows good software when he sees it.

He loves to annoy Commander Julius Root and is quite close to Holly Short whom he realises is his best friend. So, usually after some melodramatic procrastination, he always helps her out when she gets entangled in another Artemis Fowl web.

Foaly plays a very important role in the third and fourth books. Because not every one has read them, I have hidden them away. Click here. foalyroleinthirdandfourthbooks.
