- About Us
Foaly is the centaur who is the LEPs head technological advisor. He is well known for his strong friendship with Holly Short and his run-ins with Commander Root He also likes to irritate Root. Foaly is extremely proud of his inventions (having registered more patents than any living fairy) and codes them all in the ancient language Centaurian.
Unusually, Foaly is working for LEP, although he does not have any magic. LEP does not recruit non-magical fairies.
Foaly has a bad case of paranoia, wearing a tinfoil hat to prevent brain-probing rays (although he disposed of it when he met a female centaur, Caballine) wherever he goes, and even has a hat decorator.
He is often offended when other people take his inventions for granted, or refer to them in layman's terms. At these moments, he generally tries to explain the genius of these inventions, to no avail. He is generally extremely sarcastic and delights in teasing and mocking just about everyone, including his superiors, knowing he can get away with it because he is irreplaceable to LEP. Another trait of his is his love for soap operas, as it is implied and inferred throughout the series. One probably won't notice this trait except when he shows interest in Holly and Artemis's love life together and separate.
When under extreme stress, he has a habit of talking a lot and singing Riverbend, (the fairy equivalent of human Country and Western).
His greatest weakness is his overconfidence in his intelligence, which have left him defeated and manipulated several times. He underestimated humans as a whole rather than individuals, which lead to his initial defeat at the hands of Artemis Fowl. In the Atlantis Complex it was implied that Foaly might not be as smart as he makes himself out to be. Having traded his nephew to hack into secure files and fax them to him in under ten minutes for an extra large ice cream cone.
