Damon Kronski is the leader of the Extinctionists. Damon dislikes animals because he was once attacked by an animal as a child. Damon and his Extinctionists believe that animals who are not helpful to mankind should be destroyed. In this belief, the Extinctionists believe they have ended many animal species by destroying the last of their kind. This is why Damon wants to buy the lemur, but loses it when older Artemis and Holly cause a distraction in the souk where Damon makes the exchange. Later, Damon buys Holly to replace the lemur in the hopes of impressing his members and encourage more donations. Instead, it leads to Damon's downfall when Holly is exposed as a fraud by a trick performed by Artemis.
