**The Archer** is a major character in the Agent 12 series, serving as the main antagonist of the original novel and the fifth book, The Last Hope. Considered the original nemesis of Agent 12, he was killed in an alternate universe of 2025. However, he returned via his younger self and brought multiple villains against Agent 12, Big Guino, and Edward York to 1972, while they planned to defeat them. Once again, he was defeated and sent to the Realm of the Forgotten.

In 2018, The Professor brought him back from that realm in order to attempt to defeat Perceverous, however he was promptly sent back. He made a brief reappearance in an amalgamation form located in the Citadel during Realms Collide.

## Appearance

The Archer looks old for a 47 year old man, with wrinkles all over his face and slitted eyes. He wears a blue jumpsuit and has a quiver slung across his back. He doesn't carry his bow in many of the illustrations he is in.

## Personality and Skills

The Archer is a master with the bow, as given by his criminal name and that he trained with it for 20 years, and is probably good with science and tech, as evidenced by the computers and other machinery in his lab. He appears to only care about himself and usually does his work alone.

## Biography

### Early Life

The Archer had a history with Agent 12 and appears to have been stopped by him many times, this could be evidenced why he classifies Agent 12 as his archnemisis. Other than that, nothing is known about his early life.

### Agent 12 series

The Archer secretly brought monsters into 2017 by starting a company called Monster Corp., and this forced Agent 12 to go into the future to stop him. After he captured Agent 12, he was about to start interrogating him, but Agent 12 broke free from the ropes and knocked a pit of acid on The Archer, killing him. After that, that future became an alternate. Later, a patch of Dark Matter spawned in his future, and The Archer harnessed it, and he traveled back in time to 1972 and recruited numerous villains, including his younger self. When Agent 12 and Jake Watson went to face The Archer, Agent 12 sacrificed himself for his friends, and The Archer shot his younger self, committing suicide and killing himself because a bomb was in the younger Archer’s chest.

### Resurrection

One year later, The Professor brought back The Archer to help him and Moff take down Perceverous, then in his mask form. After trapping Perceverous in the Dark Orb, The Archer accidentally slipped in a portal to the Realm of the Forgotten and was once again trapped there.

### Realms Collide

As punishment for his antics against him, Perceverous brought The Archer to the Shadowverse Realm, where he stored him in the basement of The Citadel. The Archer, now an amalgamation of his former self, encountered Agent 12 in the basement. The Archer offered Agent 12 a chance to destroy The Citadel, but it would mean sacrificing himself. Agent 12 agreed, and in the wake of The Citadel’s destruction, The Archer’s fate remains unknown.
