This becomes clearer in the Epilogue, when readers know
Artemis better and he becomes a sympathetic character.
CHAPTER 1: The Book
Summary
At a cafe in Ho Chi Minh City in summertime, Artemis Fowl is waiting with Butler, his loyal butler and bodyguard, for a lead. Fowl is worried that, like Butler's tip to Cairo, this is a wild goose chase. Butler, however, insists the lead is good. They are approached by a waiter who Fowl immediately knows is Nguyen
