Archer was born in Tangier, Morocco as the first and only child of Malory Archer, a retired special agent and the CEO of the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS). As an adult he became a blue eyed, black haired Caucasian male, who weighs 184 pounds and is 6'2" in height. He is named for the sterling silver baby rattle then-barman (later valet) Woodhouse gave his mother shortly after giving birth to him, explaining that "a clapped out Arab whore traded it for a pint" at his bar. For most of his life, Archer believed that his biological father passed away when he was three years old; however, Malory reveals that John Fitzgerald Archer was a fake identity she created, and the true identity of Archer's father is the subject of more than one episode. Russian colonel Nikolai Jakov receives the most screen time, but it could also be O.D.I.N. director Len Trexler, American jazz drummers Bernard "Buddy" Rich or Gene Krupa. In one episode, Malory also mentions a black-haired, blue-eyed Italian activist with whom she had been in love. In the season 4 episode "Once Bitten" Archer remembers a suppressed memory during a cobra venom induced hallucination of his father visiting him in secret on his birthday as a child. The unknown man gives Archer a stuffed crocodile (hinting at a connection with his fear of them). The man's face is never seen and the reliability of this memory cannot be verified, though the flashback does indicate the man doesn't have a foreign accent, likely ruling out Jakov as a possible father. Archer is brought out of his delirious state before he can see the man's face. Archer spent all of his primary and secondary educational years at a boarding school for over fifteen years, where he tried out and participated in the school's lacrosse team. Although not explicitly stated, it appears Archer graduated from Georgetown University.
