Is Alan Blunt connected to Arno Blunt from Artemis Fowl? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.55.156 (talk) 04:32, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

isnt the gentleman yassen gregorovitch? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.63.119.1 (talk) 04:14, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Possibly, it doesnt say thatin any of the books —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.246.4.68 (talk) 03:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't he die in Skeleton Key?

Jellyfish references

I noticed that, on several occasions, people stated that the Portuguese Man Of War would kill Alex and killed Nadia Vole by electrocution. This possibly stems from the movie. I would like to point out that this is just a piece of science fiction that the movie produced - the Portuguese Man Of War (or Bluebottle) does not kill its victims by electrocution, nor is it potentially dangerous to humans, unless they have an allergic reaction, in very rare circumstances.Grieferhate (talk) 16:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Conrad?

I don't know if I read it wrong, but wasn't Conrad killed by the impact of hitting the magnet, after being magnetised towards it? Can't recall reading anything about him being dropped in the ocean. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.56.120 (talk) 19:48, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

References

Is this a joke that I don't get? The 7 books are sources and they're all references about 30 times. Would it be better to just take all the reference links out and just list the books as general references for the whole article? Greg ^{(t • c)} 09:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes. It should be--Spongefrog (talk) 21:11, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Minor characters

Some of the characters here are pretty unimportant, like captain de wynter and the gentleman. I think they should be deleted. Its easier than adding every minor character that has ever appeared. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spongefrog (talk • contribs) 10:15, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Glen Carver/Tom Turner

Can everybody please stop changing Tom Turner to Glen Carver. The original version of the book is British, so it should stick with the British name. It was changed to Carver in the American version for some reason that I don't know--Spongefrog (talk) 13:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

It should be noted that the name "Glen Carver" is only in the American version of "Skeleton Key". All English versions of the other books refer to the character as "Tom Turner" (which I found confusing, since I didn't know that). Henjeng55155 (talk) 04:03, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, it sort of is. Do you mean in the whole article, and not just his particular section? Lord Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 12:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and thankyou, THANKYOU, for removing replica Alex. I've removed it in the past, but IPs keep putting it back in, saying the clone might have took Alex's place. Which I find rather implausible. It's not a big deal, and I don't really care, so I gave up eventually. You think perhaps the Gentleman should be removed too?

move

I think this article should be changed to "list of characters and organisations etc." or something similar. The link on the box at the bottom of the page goes to the wrong place and SCORPIA and Force Three have nowhere else to be. PLEASE ANSWER THIS!!--Spongefrog (talk) 20:47, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

I've changed my mind. I think it should be "List of characters in the Alex Rider series".--User:Spongefrog (talk) 13:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I've done it. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

SOMEBODY PLEASE READ THIS

I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to improve this article by giving it a huge clean-up (look how many edits I've done). I think we can remove the clean-up tag, but if no-one agrees I'll be too shy. Please just tell me your opinion.--Username (talk) 13:55, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge

If the article Eva Stellenbosch were to be merged to the section here, this would only result in redundant, badly-written information. The section here includes everything the article does. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 19:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC) The article got turned into a redirect, never mind, Lord Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 12:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Does anybody mind?

Does anybody mind if I start a new article for Jack Starbright? RTY1998 (talk) 15:03, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Lets rephase the title, DOES ANYONE GIVE A D@MN IF I MAKE AN ARTICLE FOR JACK STARBRIGHT!? If I don't get a reply by December the fith I'll make it. RTY1998 (talk) 15:40, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Will someone answer me? RTY1998 (talk) 19:54, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, all right - I'll answer: Disagree. She may be a (reasonably) major character, but she is also a background character who could quite easily disappear from the books and there would be no plot deviance. Alan Blunt & Sabina Pleasure are similar characters in importance - they don't warrant pages either.

In fact, if anything I think the current Starbright article is overly padded and could do with some of the more trivial bits taken out, not expanded on.

My tuppence. a_man_alone (talk) 20:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Fine. I'm glad I was answered. If there was anyone in need of an article, who would it be? RTY1998 (talk) 12:44, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't think any of the characters are worthy of their own pages yet. Depending on Crocodile Tears (and other potential films) I'll concede that Jack may qualify given her expanded role, and the previously mentioned Sabina Pleasure may in the future as well. If you're desperate to do something, you could always have a look at the Alex Rider page itself - it could do with an expert touch, of which I don't think I am. a_man_alone (talk) 15:07, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree with A man alone. Right now, none of the characters (with the exception of Alex Rider (character)) are really notable enough to warrant individual articles. The articles would likely be made merged and made into redirects, Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 17:38, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Can we?

Can we add all these characters from http://alexrider.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Allbooks onto this page? This doesn't inculde the recent Crocodile Tears. RTY1998 (talk) 19:54, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Nah - Either already added or too minor for consideration. a_man_alone (talk) 15:09, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch!

I was looking forward to the surprise in the last book, until I found out that Jack died. I am really angry at this. Could we leave it a certain amount of time before we reveal stuff like that, as you could ruin it for everyone, including me! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.117.56 (talk) 16:54, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Could someone add fiona friend to this list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.208.208.18 (talk) 13:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Not done: Apart from sounding like somebody from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? who is she? Chaheel Riens (talk) 14:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

She is the daughter of David? Friend in Point Blanc, who almost ruins Alex's mission before it begins. Alex's cover story is as a member of the Friend family, who own Friend Supermarkets.Ollieinc (talk) 09:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Fox, Snake and Eagle

Do they really belong under the protagonists section? I would think that their actions towards Alex (e.g. nickname of "Double O Nothing") makes them antagonists. Bilorv (talk) 14:29, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Dominic Royce - Nightshade - Suicide?

*** SPOILERS HERE ***

I love the Alex Rider novels. I have a question about the character Dominic Royce in the latest one, Nightshade.

The character Dominic Royce is introduced in chapter one of Nightshade as “the permanent undersecretary for Foreign Affairs.” In chapter 31 Mrs. Jones while about to reveal to Dominic that MI6 knows he was Nightshade’s “client” - referred to as “DR” - places a “little plastic box of peppermints” on Dominic’s desk, and there is a point made that the box only has “one left inside.” She then makes the reveal and Dominic basically confesses. Mrs. Jones tells Dominic that she has “reserved a room” for him in the top-secret prison Gibraltar, and that there is “a car waiting” for him outside.

Finally, in chapter 32, the principle members of Nightshade are discussing the failure of their operation - Leap of Faith - and indicate that “their client [Dominic Royce] was dead.” The way I read this is that Mrs. Jones gave Dominic a poison pill and a choice, and that he chose suicide. While this seems a little dark for these novels, that is the way I interpret this. Do others see this differently?

Nomenclature

Should Julius Grief be adjusted to Julius Greif for TV purposes, just as with Hugo? —C.Fred (talk) 15:19, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
