He is undeniably an intuitively good operative with an extremely high degree of personal bravery, never once having begged for his life with a gun to his head, and rarely shows fear in the face of life-threatening situations (unless it involves toothy reptiles or brain aneurysms).Īrcher is quite notorious for his promiscuity, having slept with all three of his female ISIS co-workers and possibly others that work in the environment. He has a vast and diverse knowledge of obscure trivia, and shows fair to advanced proficiency in at least seven languages. Despite often being considered foolish, he is actually rather intelligent when not letting his ego get in the way. While Archer does insist on compensating anyone from whom he commandeers equipment or goods, he often puts his own spin on what is an "even" trade. He also has a tendency to piggyback on people's comments, and take credit for others' successes. He hates being told what to do, and is obsessed with being a team-leader of any given group situation (unless the situation goes downhill, in which case he is quick to blame others), calling "dibs" on roles that should be assigned on merit, and insisting on piloting any vehicle, regardless of his actual ability to do so. He constantly tries to justify his actions with absurd reasoning. Though he never explicitly breaks the fourth wall, he often exhibits signs of being aware of his status as the lead character in a television show, and it is strongly hinted at that his lack of concern for his own mortality is a direct result of his awareness of his inherent plot immunity. He has frequently alluded to believing he is immortal. Possibly as a result of his lonely and friendless childhood, Archer seems trapped in perpetual adolescence, never taking anything seriously until it personally affects him, arrogantly assuming that things will ultimately work out in his favor. He is presented as being very physically attractive and is shown to possess near superhuman skills when he is committed to a task. Lana cites this among the reasons she chose him as the father of their child.
Despite his high opinion of himself, it is not without some basis, as he is in many ways above average. His juvenile sense of humor includes shouting "phrasing" whenever a statement has any sexual double entendre. Like his mother, he is a high-functioning alcoholic, often requiring alcohol to perform at maximum efficiency. He is suave and debonair when it suits him but often drops this veneer quickly once he has gotten what he wants. He is superficial and materialistic, often to the point of amorality, refusing to accept anything less than the finest option available, and regularly spends others' money on completely unnecessary luxuries. He is also often misogynistic, though he occasionally espouses progressive attitudes if it means showing superiority over others. He is willing to put his allies in danger. He can also be very hypocritical, and any actions that seem to help others are almost certainly for his own benefit. Thus, Archer selfishly refuses to admit when he is proven wrong and will go to extreme lengths to cover up his mistakes, particularly when they may incur his mother's scorn.
He arrogantly believes himself to understand any situation better than his colleagues. "Has anyone ever told you you are profoundly self-centered?!" - Barry Dylan Īrcher is an extremely narcissistic, arrogant, selfish, insensitive, self-absorbed, and sex-crazed man who is constantly focused on himself and his own needs and desires. He is usually seen wearing a dark grey tailored business suit at the office, and a black turtleneck when on a mission. 4.5.13 "Archer Vice: Arrival/Departure"Īrcher is a very handsome tan-skinned man with thick dark-black hair that is slick on the right side, light blue eyes, visible cheekbones, a dimple in the middle of his chin and almost bushy-like eyebrows.4.5.11 "Archer Vice: Palace Intrigue, Part II".4.5.10 "Archer Vice: Palace Intrigue, Part I".
