 * This page is about the character from the animated series. For the Campaign One character, see Archibald Desnay.

Archibald Desnay was a childhood friend of Percival de Rolo and the leader of the rebellion in Whitestone during the reign of the Briarwoods. In The Legend of Vox Machina, he is voiced by Dominic Monaghan.

Appearance
Archibald was a young dwarf with red hair. After his left ear was torn off by Goran Vedmire, he wore a bloody bandage on his head.

Personality
Archibald was a very determined individual who did not hesitate to put himself in harm's way to help his friends and liberate Whitestone. He demonstrated great leadership skills and liked to lighten the mood through jokes, even in the heat of battle.

Background
Archibald grew up alongside Percy in Whitestone Castle, where his father worked as a cook. He and Percival de Rolo were good friends and often got in trouble together. At some point after the Lord Sylas and Lady Delilah Briarwood took control of Whitestone, Archibald became the leader of the resistance.

Shortly before Vox Machina arrived in town, Archibald was captured by Kerrion Stonefell and taken to the local prison, where Goran Vedmire tortured and questioned him. He was rescued by Vox Machina and they went to a safehouse while they rescued Percival's sister, Cassandra de Rolo. He later met up with them and tried to convince Percy to take over his role as leader of the resistance. As they were facing Delilah Briarwood's army of undead, Archie jumped in to protect Scanlan Shorthalt from Vedmire, and was killed.

Behind the scenes
On Critical Role, Archibald Desnay was originally an old man who acted as chancellor to the de Rolos. For The Legend of Vox Machina, he was reimagined as a young rebel leader.
