## Background

Born into the Pup family, Archibald is the eldest son of Eddie and Angel and the oldest brother of Artie, Stella and Brodi. In addition to being the nephew of Robert, Giselle, Bloodmoon, Luna, Wolfgang, Burnskin, Blacktail, Dalila and Blackmane, Archibald is also the cousin of Sebastian, Adam, Karen, Timmy, Ace, Runt, Abigail, Martin, Dwayne, Sierra, Charles and Hansel. As a child, Archibald was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Living with ADHD was struggling for Archibald as he did poorly in his classes due to his inability to focus or do what he is told.

During a parent-teacher conference, Eddie made the decision to pull Archibald from his classes as the school was less concerned with helping Archibald and more concerned with protecting its reputation. To support his son, Eddie decided to send his son to a school that helps children with ADHD. Thanks to the patient and kind teachers, Archibald started to excel in his classes. He was even put a healthy drug regimen to help regulate his emotions. On Archibald's eighth birthday, Eddie believed that his son should be blessed with magic like he was. Woolsville's king, Sensei was able to bless Archibald with magic in the same way, Zeus blesses the Pup children. Archibald was blessed with superhuman strength and flight. Having been given a superpower that can be used to protect Woolsville. Eddie taught his son how to control his strength and to use it for heroic purposes.

Throughout Archibald's childhood, he became an older brother to Artie, Stella and Brodi. He looked out for them and always babysat them when their parents were absent. Sometime during the Mastiffs' childhood, their mother, Angel died in a tragic accident. As the citizens were distracted by music and not to the incoming danger, Eddie banned music and decided to train his children so that they can protect Woolsville and themselves.

### Personality

Archibald is known for heroic, fearless, powerful and strong, both physically and mentally. Before the birth of his younger siblings, Archibald was the protector of Woolsville and had many responsibilities placed on his shoulders as a child. Archibald cares strongly for his home, people and family and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect them. His pure good complex, care for others and love for training are traits that he inherited from his father.

Archibald is shown to have laid-back demeanor despite being entrusted with countless responsibilities. He enjoys using his powers to entertain the people of Woolsville. Archibald is agile and loves to go to the gym. By the birth of his younger brother, Artie, Archibald immediately became fast friends with his little brother. However, Archibald's enthusiastic attitude coupled with his ADHD can make somewhat inconsiderate. There were times where Archibald's loud training made Artie uncomfortable due to his sensitive hearing. Another example was with Brodi. Archibald would often dismiss his brother whenever he was busy with duties, completely unaware of his feelings. However, Archibald isn't cold nor cruel, he truly cares for his siblings' emotional well-being but finds it complicating to read on their social cues. When Archibald learns about Brodi's suffering from Hansel, he immediately feels remorse and make amends with his brother, telling him that he never wanted to hurt him.

Despite Archibald's confident demeanor, he often has doubts in his abilities. When he was diagnosed with ADHD, he believed that he wouldn't be able to succeed in his academical and personal goals. Archibald faced discrimination and emotional abuse from the school officials and peers. This led Archibald to have a low-self esteem. His father's kindness and the patience of the school allowed Archibald to develop confidence and work to succeed. Since his experiences have made him a stronger person, he passed that wisdom down to his younger siblings in the form of words that are filled with love.

Archibald's adventure and near-death experience changed his personality. After learning how he unintentionally hurting his brother, Archibald decided to develop a sense of emotional awareness so that he wouldn't hurt Brodi ever again. Archibald also made amends with his father and siblings. Since he wasn't affectionate with them after his mother's death, he became somewhat distant with them. However, following the events of the film, Archibald became close to them again and always shows them love and affection whenever he is with them.

## Appearances

### The Black Lion 2

Long after his mother's tragic death, Archibald along with Artie and Stella began to help their father, Eddie by protecting Woolsville from the villainous Howard A. Wolfsbane. He vowed to defeat Wolfsbane and restore peace, happiness and music back to Woolsville.

Archibald was seen along with Artie and Stella when Brodi got home from school. Brodi asked Archibald if he could spend the afternoon with him, only for the latter to say he couldn't because he had to help Sensei with the celebration party.

Later at the party, Archibald was seen dancing with some sheep. When the party dialed down for the night, Sensei gave some medals to Archibald, Artie and Stella. Archibald was so happy to get his medal. Before the party could continue, Wolfsbane showed up at the party in his giant golden robotic suit and he took Archibald along with Artie, Stella, Ruby, Calvin and Nelson. Wolfsbane was going to take them to his lair so he can kill them. Which will lure Eddie and Brodi to his lair, so he can kill them too. So, Eddie and Brodi had to rescue Archibald and the others before it was too late.

The next day, Matthew, Brodi and Eddie began their journey to rescue Archibald and the others from Wolfsbane and his men. The trio could get into his lair without being spotted by Wolfsbane or his minions. After Wolfsbane's song, "Gold," Matthew tried to free Archibald and the others when he had the chance but Wolfsbane caught Matthew, Brodi and Eddie and he ordered his men to attack them. Matthew, Brodi and Eddie could escape but they would be back with a plan. Archibald and the others hoped that they would save them because they all had a bad feeling about Wolfsbane.

Matthew, Brodi and Eddie later got help from Prince Carlos and his new chef, Buster tagged along with the trio. And Sensei gave Matthew and Brodi some wisdom and confidence for the rest of the journey. During the night, Matthew, Brodi, Eddie and Buster went back to Wolf Town to free Archibald and the others. And this time, Matthew, Brodi, Eddie and Buster could free them without being spotted by Wolfsbane or his minions. Matthew and Brodi could get Archibald and Artie out of the lair but it took Buster a long time to get the others out. Then Wolfsbane spotted them and put them in a stronger and larger cage.

After Eddie had his outburst with Buster and Brodi, Archibald decided not to talk to Eddie because of his bad temper. Eddie then told his backstory to Matthew, Archibald and the others. Ever since his wife, Angel died, he and Brodi has been a distance. It was the same reason why Archibald, Artie and Stella had a distance relationship with Brodi. Archibald was smiling over Brodi and Eddie's reconciliation.

Wolfsbane revealed to Matthew and the others that they're on a boat that was heading straight for a waterfall. Before Wolfsbane left the boat, his last lines were, “It’ll be too bad, you won’t be here on the 13th which will be my lucky number but not everyone’s lucky number.” He then left the boat in his hovercraft. Matthew and the others could get off the boat before they fell down the waterfall. Matthew and the others then took the next train to Columbia. Once they got there, Brodi and the others met Charles, Rebecca and the others. Archibald liked all of Matthew's friends. He especially liked Adam. Brodi then bid a farewell to Matthew. He was going to miss Matthew along with Archibald and the others.

Somehow as Brodi and the others got back to Woolsville, they got kidnapped by Wolfsbane and his men. Then they were taken as prisoners where they were going to sentenced to their painful death. Luckily, Matthew could free them. When they were about to fly to the Wolf Castle to warn Prince Carlos, Wolfsbane caught them in his magnetic ray. Then he revealed his evil plan to them to usurp the throne and rule Wolf Town.

Matthew manage to talk Wolfsbane's butler, Anthony out of his boss' evil plan. With a change of heart, Anthony threw the Aconitum in Wolfsbane's eye, painfully blinding him. Anthony was then punched off of the platform by Wolfsbane. Luckily, Charles and the others showed up to fight Wolfsbane and his men. Archibald was seen fighting Wolfsbane's men along with the others.

After Wolfsbane's death, Archibald was proud of Brodi and Matthew along with the others. He was even happier that Brodi finally got his medal for his heroism and bravery. He was glad that sheep and wolves could live in peace and harmony again. Best of all, with Wolfsbane gone, Archibald could spend more time with Brodi and his family. Before Matthew left Woolsville, he gave Brodi a big hug along with Eddie, Archibald, Artie and Stella. Before Matthew got aboard the X-15, Brodi quickly told Matthew how he felt about him. He told Matthew that ever since he met him, he felt like he could be himself around him. He felt like that he could never have this opportunity again. Brodi offered to let Matthew and his siblings being adopted into the Mastiff family.

With a tear in his eye, Matthew accepted. The Wootens-Mastiffs moved tot the Woodland Castle and celebrating over their new bond with each other.
