Artemis is a professional and always has an air of control about him. Every move or word is calculated for a specific response. He never allows his emotions to master him, no matter how dire the situation. He tirelessly maintains himself in top condition, and constantly seeks to improve his
martial skills. He is also terribly cunning, able to outthink as well as outfight his opponents.
III. History
(as written in The Dark Elf Trilogy and Icewind Dale Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore)
Born and bred in Calimsham. He began his career at the tender age of nine, on the streets of Calimport. Basadoni Cabal, the head of a powerful guild, took notice of him, and so Artemis entered the guild. He ascended the ranks of the thieve's guild quickly. When he left some time later for other
employment, he found it under Pasha Pook. Pook sent him after Regis for his ruby pendant, and so Artemis entered the lives of the Companions of the Hall.
Then too, he discovered the mirror of himself in Drizzt Do'Urden with one difference: Artemis believed that emotions, and fighting with them, were weaknesses, and Drizzt disagreed. The end result after many years was with Drizzt the victor. It is unknown what outcome this has had on Artemis yet. Currently, Artemis is the head of the Basadoni Guild in Calimport, and is
working closely with the drow mercenary, Jarlaxle.
