Fictional character biography Origins Colfer has said that he based Artemis on his younger brother Donal, who as a child was "a mischievous mastermind who could get out of any trouble he got into." A childhood picture of his brother in his first communion suit (clothing), suit caused Colfer to think of how much Colfer's brother resembled "a little ''James Bond'' villain" and "how funny...a twelve-year-old ''James Bond'' villain" would be, inspiring Colfer's creation of Artemis. Colfer planned for Artemis to have been called Archimedes but changed the name due to an interest in using a "classic Greek name" and trepidation that "people would think [the series] was about [the historical figure] Archimedes".
