The Brill brothers are twin pixies from the Artemis Fowl series, and appear in the book Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception. There actual names are Mervall and Descant Brill, or normally just "Merv" and "Scant". Mervall is the older and considered smarter. Mervall and Descant each finish each other's sentences repeatedly. They have appeared on numerous fairy television shows, and have attained somewhat of a celebrity status in the Lower Elements, as fairy twins are extremely rare.
The Brill brothers are agents of Opal Koboi, and being perhaps the most competent and faithful of her henchmen, she placed them as janitors in the J. Argon clininc as part of her backup plan. They orchastrated a power failure and rescued her from the clinic, replacing her with a clone. They continue to serve Opal through out the rest of the book, such as piloting and maintaining her shuttle, escorting, cooking, etc.
However, Opal's personality changed greatly after her rescue, and she became intolerably paranoid and obsessive, taking out her anger on them. She even went as far to write a list of rules for them, such as no looking at her directly, bowing before her, no passing wind, slang and not thinking too loudly near her. Naturally, the Brill brothers became resentful of this, and only fear and the promise of Barbados kept them loyal.
Opal betrays them in the end by ejecting them from her shuttle against the chute wall, leaving them stranded in impact gel. Foaly later says they are picked up and were quick to betray her.
