History Characters / ArcherMainCharacters

--> '''Krieger:''' [[ArgentinaIsNaziland I grew up in Braz]]--istol County, Rhode Island. ''(Beat)'' Lots of Portuguese in Rhode Island.

** In the series finale [[spoiler: when Archer goes on the run as a ploy so that Lana and other members of the Agency can carry on spying, Pam goes with him.

-->''"My god, a black...ops field agent?"''
** Malory tries to avert this by hiring [[TwoferTokenMinority Conway Stern]], but given her open lust for him it's pretty easy to make comparisons with ''Film/GetOut''.

** She immensely evolves from this in Season 13, becoming the group's DemolitionsExpert after spending time practicing her craft offscreen.

* IdenticalStranger: Looks ''exactly'' like the current pope, enough so that he is able to be used in a TwinSwitch plan.

* BoobsOfSteel: She has big breasts and is one of the physically strongest characters.

* PlayingTheVictimCard: She does this throughout the series. She pulls TheBabyTrap in order to force Archer to focus more on her, to the extent that she is enraged that he does not immediately accept responsibility for a child which she conceived using stolen frozen sperm, and which she did not even tell him was his until ''after'' the baby was born! And even during the pregnancy, when Archer proposed thinking he wasn't the father, she claimed she would "rather lose the baby than marry [him]" while (unknowingly) pointing a gun at her belly. She has also waterboarded Archer using the excuse that he had skipped out on the training when she really just wanted him to admit he was attracted to Veronica Deane. She also repeatedly tried to manipulate Archer using OperationJealousy because her jealousy of Veronica only to get mad when it backfires.

* NeverMessWithGranny: Despite her age, she's still a crack shot and a stone-cold badass. After breaking free from a remote prison, Mallory scores a ride from a trucker that wants a sexual favour in return. Mallory konocks him out of the truck and drives it back home.

* CatchPhrase:

* JerkassBall: Lana usually gets a pass from fans because she is fairly competent, professional, and more noticeable morals than some of the other characters, but she also totally has her moments of being, for lack of a better word, a bit of a bitch.

** May have. There's still Len Trexler and Buddy Rich (and an assassinated Italian anti-fascist activist) as possible candidates.

* {{Greed}}: Probably Malory's defining trait, even ahead of her abusive parenting and sexual licentiousness. Malory is ruthlessly materialistic, bratty and self-absorbed woman who is obsessed with making money, living an elite lifestyle and showing up others (especially neighbor Trudy Beekman). There is literally ''nothing'' she will not stoop to if it stands to profit her enough.

* NeverMessWithGranny: Despite her age, she's still a crack shot and a stone-cold badass.

** In "Liquid Lunch", she beats down Krieger, down to craving her heel in his shoulder, casually mentioning she has already killed seven Germans with nothing but a shovel and she'll gladly kill another one. The sight of it makes Ray quiver in fear.

* AmbiguouslyBi: While Cheryl hasn't overtly hit on any woman, her fetish for being strangled and murdered seems to apply even when women do it. She enjoys being slapped by Malory, orgasms during a beating from Lana, and solicits a choking from Pam. She later comments that she is "digging the Queen Kong vibe" Pam has in one episode. Later it is revealed that she and Pam participated in Malory and Ron's open marriage. When pressed if that means they had sex with Ron, they both look and reply, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial "Don't worry about it.]]

** "Sorry. Ignore me. My whole thing is I just crave attention"

%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Pam's Tomboy.

* BadassBookworm: He ''is'' a badass accountant.

** In Season 7, Cyril runs the private detective agency because California law requires a legal degree. As such, all of the employees work for him, allowing him to get revenge for the terrible things Archer and Lana have done to him. *** For example, he threatened to dock Lana's pay if she left early, even if it's to pick up AJ. In Archer's words, he made her "his giant bitch".

* TheEeyore: Cyril's pretty much the sad-sack of the main cast because of how much of an emotional wreck he is, which makes sense as he gets no respect from his father, his boss or his co-workers throughout his life. He starts feel more confident and respected when Archer spent 3 years in a coma but every since Archer woke up, he bullied Cyril relentlessly and Cyril ended up reverting to being a pathetic and insecure wuss.

* ExtremeLibido: Cyril is apparently actually diagnosed with sex addiction between seasons 1 and 2, after a few... well, several incidents of cheating on Lana. Everyone tells him it's not a real thing.

* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Cyril's meek and nerdy Feminine Boy and Lana's aggressive and violent Masculine Girl

* NoBadassToHisValet: In the three years that Archer was in a coma he seriously bulked up and surpassed Archer [[TookALevelInBadass becoming known as the world's greatest spy]], Archer still refused to show him any kind of respect and constantly undermined him, [[BadassDecay causing him to revert back to his nebbish, cowardly ways and lose his physique]]. Though any time people try to claim this as Archer's fault he's quick to point out [[JerkassHasAPoint that Cyril practically jumped at the chance to get out of the field]] and really he's just using him as an excuse to not self-improve.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: The noble guy while Archer is the roguish guy. In fact, the main reason Lana dated Cyril was because he seemed too gentlemanly to be like Archer but Cyril is not as noble as he seemed and while Archer may be more roguish in comparison, he still has a sense of nobility.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The sensitive guy to Archer's manly man.

* TheSmartGuy: By this outfit's standards, at least due to how analytical, tactical and strategic he is.

* NoBadassToHisValet: In the three years that Archer was in a coma he seriously bulked up and surpassed Archer [[TookALevelInBadass becoming known as the worlds greatest spy]], Archer still refused to show him any kind of respect and constantly undermined him, [[BadassDecay causing him to revert back to his nebbish, cowardly ways and lose his physique]]. Though any time people try to claim this as Archer's fault he's quick to point out [[JerkassHasAPoint that Cyril practically jumped at the chance to get out of the field]] and really he's just using him as an excuse not to self-improve.

* NoBadassToHisVelet: In the three years that Archer was in a coma he seriously bulked up and surpassed Archer [[TookALevelInBadass becoming known as the worlds greatest spy]], Archer still refused to show him any kind of respect and constantly undermined him, [[BadassDecay causing him to revert back to his nebbish, cowardly ways and lose his physique]]. Though any time people try to claim this as Archer's fault he's quick to point out [[JerkassHasAPoint that Cyril practically jumped at the chance to get out of the field]] and really he's just using him as an excuse not to self-improve.
