Hands
Voiced by: D'Arcy Carden
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.
- Action Girl: When wearing her exo-suit, she is extremely capable.
- Crazy-Prepared: She naturally installed a failsafe into her suit to remotely disable it.
- Disability Superpower: Defied. She flat out admits being disabled makes things very hard for her. Her inventions were created to counteract this.
- Hero of Another Story: The stories of what could happen with her inventions and the people she's met could make a series all its own.
- Only in It for the Money: 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.
- What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?: The group considers her destruction of Kreiger's van horrific.
Aleister
Voiced by: Simon Pegg
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.
- Affably Evil: Very polite and respectful towards Archer, not once dropping his professionalism even with Archer's abuse.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.
- Battle Butler: Hired to be at Archer's beck and call, and has the combat skills to keep up with Archer.
- Cool Sword: Keeps one in his belt. Both Archer and Cyril were impressed by this.
- Evil Brit: Again, he's an assassin.
- The Jeeves: Polite, respectful, has a charming British accent, Aleister was deemed the perfect valet for Archer. Of course, it was all a cover to get close to Archer, and ISIS by extension, so he could kill Cyril.
- Superior Successor: 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.
Gabrielle
Voiced by: Nicole Byer
Archer's one-time date that he uses to make Lana jealous.
- Always Someone Better: 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.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: 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.
- Nice Girl: 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.
- Satellite Love Interest: 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.
- What Does She See in Him?: Explained. Gabrielle majored in psychology and she was dating Archer for analytical purposes.
