Best Answer

His father's disappearance and mother's illness are meant to shape who Artemis is; it's not plot development so much as allowing character development initially. The fact that neither of his parents can supervise his activities also has a large effect on his activities, namely his involvement with the fairies as well as providing a main plot point for the second book where Artemis Senior is rescued.

What is the climax of Artemis Fowl The Arctic incident?

Angeline Fowl contracts a debilitating disease, which Artemis can not heal with magic. Artemis desperately contacts Captain Holly Short and N˚1, in hopes that they will be able to shed some new light on his mother's condition. They determine Angeline is suffering from Spelltropy, a fairy disease that is spread through the use of magic, and can only be cured by the brain fluid of the silky sifaka lemur of Madagascar. Unfortunately, the lemur is extinct, due to a ruthless deal Artemis made 8 years ago with a group called the Extinctionists. Foaly tells him that his mother will die without the cure. Artemis pleads for N˚1 to open up the time stream, allowing him to save the lemur, and thus his mother. Foaly argues against the idea, saying that meddling with the past is far too risky, and could have drastic consequences for the present. Artemis however counters that if his mother's Spelltropy is not cured, then it may spread back to the fairies, and even humans. Also, Artemis argues for the theory that he supports, that if you go back into the past, then you have already been back in the past. He lies to Holly, by making her believe that she was the one who gave the illness to Angeline, which would make her honor bound to help him. With the threat of a Spelltropy outbreak threatening to not only affect fairies, but humans too, Foaly agrees that traveling back in time may be the only way save both the fairies and the humans. Artemis convinces N˚1 to use his magic to send him and Holly back in time so that he can rescue the lemur from himself. N˚1 warns them that after three days in the past, his magic may not be able to pull them back into the present. US cover, first edition.They arrive eight years earlier in Angeline's bedroom. Artemis assures Holly that Butler will quietly slip the lemur into the room (to avoid Angeline seeing it) and that they will simply be able to leave. Butler however, does not act according to Artemis' predictions. He overhears their conversation and tranquilizes them with a dart gun. The younger Artemis Fowl is fascinated by the arrival of the two, especially Holly. He orders Butler to lock them in the trunk of the Fowl Bentley, where they will be secure so that he can further examine them once his deal with the Extinctionists is complete. Artemis and Holly manage to escape due to the timely arrival of a future friend, Mulch Diggums, and break into the compound housing the lemur. Artemis is injured and Holly rescues him and kisses him (though regrets it later when she finds out Artemis lied to her). Artemis manages to get the lemur, but is forced to release it. His younger self then sells the lemur to The Extinctionists". Artemis and Holly manage to get the lemur, but Holly is captured, and sold in place of the lemur by the younger Artemis. When plans are made to kill Holly at the annual Extinctionist banquet, Artemis manages to save her, but in the chaos he is thrown into a pit. Holly, escaping, realizes that the head of the Extinctionists has been mesmerized. Artemis is captured by Opal Koboi. She says that she has mesmerized the Extinctionists to bring her the lemur which will give her the ability to control time. Artemis manages to escape. Holly and Artemis fly to Fowl Manor, but are followed by Koboi. Upon being intercepted by his younger counterpart, Artemis reveals his identity. Holly and Artemis return to the present with the lemur. He is about to administer the cure to his mother when he finds that Koboi has possessed his mother and also caused the sickness in the first place (soon after a mesmerised Butler appears, and captures Holly and N˚1 in a vat of animal fat). As Koboi gloats, Artemis reveals that he is in fact the Artemis from the past. The older Artemis does battle with the real Opal and tranquilises her. Opal recovers quickly and flees; however, realising that Artemis and his forces have been significantly weakened in the battle, she returns. Artemis takes Jayjay and flies away from the Manor grounds in a plane, luring Opal away. In the ensuing chase, Opal exhibits astonishing strength, pulverising entire sections of the plane with her fists, eventually forcing Artemis to crash land on the coastline which results in his collarbone being broken. Artemis escapes from the wreckage of the plane and runs to the shore, ascending a rope bridge and crossing over two large boulders. Opal relentlessly pursues him, eventually obtaining Jayjay, only to discover that it's not actually Jayjay, but Artemis' little brother's play-thing, Professor Primate. Artemis shoots the boulder which Opal is standing on and which is revealed to be the shell of a kraken. The shell explodes and Opal is buried beneath the rubble. When a Lower Elements Police team search for her, they find she has disappeared. Artemis debriefs the others and finds that his mother knows everything that happened to her. The 10-year-old Artemis has his mind wiped and is sent back in time by N˚1(10-year-old Artemis has a spell in his eyes that will erase Butler's memory), but begins to think about fairies, creating a circular timeline.

How are the disappearance of the senior Artemis Fowl andillness angeline fowl essential for plot devolopment of the story?

little arty has no adult supervision (exept for butler and he's on the payroll) so he can do pretty much whatever he wants. also, it maks it so arty comes from a broken household. Artemis has the freedom to do what he wishes, and also as stated (not int he graphic novel, but epilogue of the actual novel itself) "it was only a matter of time before he was put into care", the reason of him using his wish to cure his mother, because social securities were watching him already.

How long had the Butlers been serving Fowls?

Since the day of Artemis Fowl Junior's birth. He spent his first night on the job guarding the maternity ward Angeline and the baby Artemis were in. So basically however old Artemis physically is in whatever book you want to know this for (but add three years for anything after the Lost Colony because of the time travel.).Hope this helps!! :D
