* Butler's death in ''The Eternity Code''. His instinct is to throw himself between Artemis and the threat. The heartbreaking part is Artemis is so much more than just a job to him - as Butler dies, he tells Artemis his first name. The scene only gets sadder when you look at Artemis, who's crying and thinking about how they were supposed to die together.
