About the author

Sterling Malory Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin), codename: Duchess, is 184 lb, 6'2", 36 years old (computer screen readout in the show's first episode), and is considered the world's most dangerous secret agent. Though he shows proficiency in stereotypical spy skills—weapons, driving, martial arts—his only real interest in the job is the opportunity to enjoy a jet-setting lifestyle full of sex, alcohol, thrills, lacrosse, fast cars and spy toys (in that order). Egotistical and self-serving, Archer generally lacks empathy towards anyone. He was largely reared by his valet Woodhouse, whom he constantly belittles. He is almost always seen with an alcoholic drink and also refuses to wear anything other than "tactical" turtlenecks during operations (he will take the time to change into one rather than immediately disarming a bomb). He claims he was the first to recognize the garment's tactical potential (referring to it as a "tactile-neck") and becomes enraged when his style is copied. He appears to carry the classic James Bond Walther PPK as a personal sidearm, despite being consistently insulted as to the gun's diminutive stature by his co-workers.
