Charming, bold and a born explorer, Archer is guided by a core of human decency and intuition, even when they contravene direct orders. He sis independent, yet has a strong sense of duty. Archer holds a grudge against the Vulcans, whom he blames for keeping humanity stuck on Earth, but must learn to cope with a Vulan science officer. As a captain of a starship he has helped to build, Archer is eager to make history and to see what's out there.
