Biography[]
Artemis first surfaced at an "Occupy Rally Reunion" where he met Stan. Shortly after meeting him, they tricked him into sampling ether and he passed out. They brought him to their home, unclothed him, tied him up, and prepared him for "reeducation". It was revealed that they knew he worked for the CIA once they saw his attire. After Stan passed out from the glare of the energy-conservative lights, he was reawakened by Artemis to listen to one of his companions do activist poetry. He was also forced to listen to some activist related podcasts and being locked in a room filled with activist-related media.
Stan later gives in and announces on the news that he is a member of the radical form of the "Occupy" movement. He reveals the groups plans to the camera while in his underpants. It turns out that Artemis's attempts were successful. Stan had returned home with the new beliefs that Artemis had instilled with his brainwashing. Artemis isn't seen for a while after this. It is soon revealed that he was planning to have the now brainwashed Stan use CIA technology to blow up Mount Rushmore. After knocking out Hayley, she wakes up to see Stan announcing his plans with Artemis and his accomplices.
Artemis is seen planning out the misses coordinates on his computer, and later explaining that with a precise blow he would turn the monument into history's greatest leftists. Hayley pretends to go along with their plan to try and call Avery, her brother Steve, and Roger. She is caught and tied up again. Artemis is seen continuing to calculate the missile's coordinates, and then he is brought inside by his friends to get high before the launch. He comes out of his trailer shortly after Stan was cured of his brainwashing, and having him refuse to do the launch. He tells his friends to seize him, but Stan beats them up. Artemis is finally defeated after Stan beats him with his wheelchair.
It was revealed after this that his colleagues were other CIA agents in disguise, using the missiles to test the lasers that had been put in the giant heads.
