He serves one of the series' main heroines, Rin Toosaka. Due to an incomplete summoning, he has no memory of his past life or identity. Archer is sarcastic and cynical—yet beneath his tough exterior lies a complex and dark personality that gradually emerges throughout the story. Despite his proficiency with ranged weapons, he can also handle himself in close combat. Archer views Shirou Emiya's idealism as weak and delusional, seeing Shirou's goal of "saving everyone" as naive and unachievable.
Archer is actually the future version of Shirou Emiya, who became a hero through Emiya's wish to save innocent lives. Archer excels in archery thanks to Shirou's innate talent, swordsmanship from rigorous physical training, and some magical skills from Shirou's own training. When Archer prayed for a miracle to save around 100 people, he became a Counter Guardian. However, he was betrayed by someone he saved and subsequently executed. Initially driven by his ideals, Archer eventually realizes the harsh truth that not everyone can be saved, leading him to make minimal sacrifices for the greatest number of lives saved. Feeling betrayed by the world, Archer prays to be summoned into the Holy Grail War so he can correct his mistake through a paradox and kill Shirou to prevent him from becoming a Counter Guardian.
