Leon Abbot

Leon Abbot is the main antagonist of Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony. He is a demon who opposed the time-spell at the battle of Taillte, and broke the circle of warlocks as they were performing the spell. In the aftermath, he and Qweffor, an apprentice warlock, merge by lava and magic, and the hybrid is catapulted to the "near past" in France. Abbot retains control of the body, stealing Qweffor's magic. On Earth, Abbot learns how far humans have advanced from Minerva Paradizo. Realizing that any attempt to resume war with the humans would lead to certain extinction, Abbot steals a book and a crossbow and resolves to return to Hybras to spend what time the island has left as ruler.

Abbot travels back through time to Hybras at the exact moment that the time-spell is put into effect and takes out the book and the crossbow, claiming to be the demons' savior. He uses the magic stolen from Qweffor to mesmerize anyone who challenges him for the throne. When he learns that No1 is a warlock, he mesmerizes him into jumping into Hybras' volcano, hoping that he would be burnt to death, perish during the time-travel, or be killed by humans. At the end of the book, he kills Holly, while she was with №1, and Qwan as they are preparing to perform the time-spell. However, Artemis's quick-thinking and manipulation of the disintegrating time-spell allows him to resurrect her. At the end of the book, Qweffor takes over Abbot's body. Abbot's consciousness is subsequently transferred to a guinea pig to stop him from hurting anybody.
