'''A description of the character goes here.'''
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: To Juliet, as well as Artemis.
* [[Anti-Villain]] / [[Punch Clock Villain]]: In the first book. He really wasn't kidnapping fairies [[For the Evulz]]; he was just doing his duty in serving Artemis, even [[What the Hell, Hero?|calling him out]] on various occasions.
Line 75 ⟶ 85:
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Juilet's safety is his highest priority. It overrides his training and Artemis' orders.
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Oh yeah. Taught Juliet judo when she was six.
* [[Bodyguard]]: To Artemis. Being a character in a children's book series, he tends to the cinematic side of the spectrum.
* [[Brother-Sister Team]]: With matching black designer suits.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: His response to being mesmered by {{spoiler|a magically empowered Opal Koboi}} and ordered to kill Artemis? {{spoiler|Go to Hell!}}

*

* [[Badass Moustache]]
* [[Da Chief]]: Of Recon and is always quick to reprimand his officers for breaking rules.
Line 123 ⟶ 138:
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: With Mulch apparently. He's testified against him "15 times" and calls him 'convict' but when {{spoiler|Mulch fakes his death}} Root is immediately sad and called him "One of the constants of his life." Mulch for his part calls him by his first name and doesn't much of a grudge for the '15 times' thing.

* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: Perfectly summed up in this line "I'm right there with you, darling. Unless you trigger a land mine, in which case I'm in the Operation Room." Most of his 'field' time is this: talking through a headset to people in the field and supplying them with info.
