Now that Season 13 is happening, it's high time it's one-shots get documented, and with Season 14 unconfirmed, I didn't feel like making a page for Seasons 13 and 14, so I'm just gonna transform the 11 and 12 one to a 11-13 one. There's enough room for it.

!!Season 11
[[folder: Hands]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/DarcyCarden

A brilliant inventor who has created many useful products over the course of her life. Her exo-suit is targeted by Juno and [=ISIS=] both and they are racing to steal it from her trap-laden villa.
----

* ActionGirl: When wearing her exo-suit, she is extremely capable.
* CrazyPrepared: She naturally installed a failsafe into her suit to remotely disable it.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Defied. She flat out admits being disabled makes things very hard for her. Her inventions were created to counteract this.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: The stories of what could happen with her inventions and the people she's met could make a series all its own.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: She plans on selling her exo-suit to the highest bidder once she perfects it. Of course, she doesn't plan on selling it to Juno, since, like [=ISIS=], she thinks they're dicks.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: The group considers her destruction of Kreiger's van horrific.

[[folder: Aleister]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Creator/SimonPegg

The perfect valet hired by Malory due to Archer constantly firing all his previous valets for extremely trivial reasons. He turns out to be an assassin hired to kill the world's greatest spy, Cyril Figgis.
----

* AffablyEvil: Very polite and respectful towards Archer, not once dropping his professionalism even with Archer's abuse.[[note]]It helps that, compared to Woodhouse, Archer's abuse wasn't ''nearly'' as bad.[[/note]] He's also an assassin attempting to kill Cyril. He even tells Archer it was "a pleasure" to work for him as he lay dying following their duel.
* BattleButler: Hired to be at Archer's beck and call, and has the combat skills to keep up with Archer.
* CoolSword: Keeps one in his belt. Both Archer and Cyril were impressed by this.
* EvilBrit: Again, he's an assassin.
* TheJeeves: Polite, respectful, has a charming British accent, Aleister was deemed the perfect valet for [[ManChild Archer]]. Of course, it was all a cover to get close to Archer, and ISIS by extension, so he could kill Cyril.
* SuperiorSuccessor: To Woodhouse and all the previous valets Archer had. He’s younger, stronger, more attractive, and more competent than Woodhouse to the point Archer believed him to be perfect. He is also capable of predicting Archer’s demanding whims and was never punished by Archer, though his willingness to subject himself to Archer’s bizarre punishments just makes him more appealing to Archer. His charisma caused Malory to develop an attraction towards him and Archer himself told the man that he loved him and vowed to never get another valet since no one could replace him. Overall, he gets far more respect than Woodhouse ever got from Mallory and Archer despite his loyal services.

[[folder: Gabrielle]]
-> '''Voiced by''': Nicole Byer

Archer's one-time date that he uses to make Lana jealous.
----

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Archer gets his jollies pointing out to Lana that Gabrielle's basically a younger, better version of Lana. Her two [=PHDs=] being a noteworthy example.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: A gorgeous young woman in a figure-hugging evening dress who comes across as very likable. To her mild shock, Robert blatantly tries to persuade her and Lana into a threeway.
* NiceGirl: Gabrielle comes across as a very pleasant individual. Lana was ready to hate her just for being attached to Archer, but by the end of the night they're more or less friends. She doesn't even get noticeably angry when she gets Archer to admit he only dated her to piss off Lana, though she still refuses to sleep with him.
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Archer was using her as this, but it's gradually subverted as Gabrielle is only dating Archer to study his post-comatose psyche. She also shows increasing levels of character depth, culminating in her being one of the few women Archer ''doesn't'' get to sleep with.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: Explained. Gabrielle majored in psychology and she was dating Archer for analytical purposes.

A scientist who created a device that the IIA wants. He gets into a car crash and ends up in a coma.
----
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: InUniverse. Turns out to be just like Krieger, complete with a customized van and a holographic girlfriend. They become fast friends.
* DoNotCallMePaul: After he wakes up from the coma, he decides to call himself Colt. Cheryl points out his real name is Jeremy, but he decides he prefers Colt.
* IdentityAmnesia: After his coma, he can't remember who he is and needs help remembering.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Krieger forces him out of the coma, which apparently destroys 8% of his brain and makes it difficult for him to remember anything.
* MadScientist: Revealed to be this, much to Krieger's delight. The two immediately bond over this. [[spoiler: His DyingWish is for Krieger to keep doing science, "really weird, fucked up shit that even you're like, 'Man, I shouldn't have done that.'"]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: After he starts remembering who he is and how he built the IIA mainframe, he starts wondering if he's a bad person.

-> '''Voiced by''': Karen Fukuhara

* TheDreaded: For Archer, both for her skill and their history.
