Section Eight (Artemis Fowl)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Section Eight in the Artemis Fowl fiction book series is a secret branch of the Lower Elements Police , similar to the role of the CIA or MI6. It is a covert intelligence-gathering division. Their foremost purpose is intelligence on the location, rehabilitation, and general welfare of all demons that materialize from Limbo. It is first introduced to mean crazy, as Holly in the first book says she's gone, "Section 8" risking her life for a human fighting a troll. By the time of Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony (where Section Eight is introduced), Wing Commander Vinyáya is the Council's chairwoman to Section Eight and its technical director position has just been filled by the centaur Foaly. Holly Short is recruited as a Captain into the organisation after leaving her own small private investigation firm. Vinyáya reveals the Section's original founder to be the late Council Chairwoman Nan Burdeh who left her enormous fortune to Section Eight after her death, allowing the organisation to purchase state of the art equipment.
