[edit] Appearances in Book
In the third book, Artemis Fowl II invites Spiro to a business meeting, where Jon steals the C Cube, has Butler shot by his bodyguard, Arno Blunt, and commands Blunt to kill Artemis as well.
[edit] Physical Appearance
It is said that Spiro wears enough gold on his wrists and fingers to "Gold leaf the Taj Mahal". He is small, barely taller than Artemis himself, tanned and is as "thin as a javelin". Artemis compares his eyes to a rat's: small, dark, beady, and always moving. He apparently has "gut problems", and has to take several types of vitamin supplements a day to replace food.
[edit] Accomplices
Jon Spiro has his major bodyguard, Arno Blunt, who travels with him in all of his business ventures. At Spiro Industries, his two major guards are Pex and Chips, compared to shaved gorillas and rottweilers that could balance on two legs. Pex and Chips are described as "the ones who break things and ask questions later".
Spiro has also several employers at his disposal, Dr. Pearson was the head of the technical staff and the one who tried to break the Eternity Code on the C-cube.
[edit] End of Appearances
Artemis Fowl II tricks Spiro into breaking into Phonetix, where he and Foaly made it so they were caught. Holly Short then rescues Artemis, and a Chicago SWAT Team apprehend Blunt, Pex, Chips, and Spiro. Jon Spiro is currently serving time in prison. After that Artemis, Butler, and Juliet are mind wiped by Foaly.
