Archer: Different Character Analysis
Archer is an adventure of eight dysfunctional agents and their support staff at the International Secret Intelligence Service, a fictional intelligence agency based in New York.
The first character in Archer is the main lead Sterling Archer who is a narcissistic, womanizing protagonist. Second is Malory Archer, the retired agent-turned-ISIS director. Other than these two, there is Sterling’s snarky, emotionally distant mother.
Lana Kane, Sterling’s love interest and mother of his infant daughter, and by far the most professional field agent at ISIS; Ray Gillette, the agency’s openly gay bomb specialist; Pam Poovey, the head of the agency’s Human Resources department who her peers often ridicule;
Cyril Figgis, a mild-mannered accountant-turned-agent; Cheryl Tunt, Malory’s delusional, psychotic personal assistant; and Dr. Algernop Krieger, a bizarre, morally bankrupt scientist with little regard for the well-being of his test subjects.
Many of the supporting characters were given expanded roles in later episodes. New characters are also being introduced to improve the plot, like Slater, an arms dealer, and agent for the CIA. Katya Kazanova is Sterling’s ex-love interest. Barry Dylan is Sterling’s nemesis, who, after seeking redemption, becomes his friend.
What is Archer based on?
Inspired by Jason Fitzgerald, Archer’s title character isn’t based on anyone from real life. Only the face and the character model were inspired by Jason Fitzgerald.
