History
After many failed attempts by Malory to replace Woodhouse as Archer's new permanent valet, Pam and Cheryl find Aleister and introduce him to Archer as a possible new candidate. Archer quickly hires him and bonds with him. Aleister gains Archer's trust and hatches his plan to assassinate Cyril. After Archer foils his plans and stabs him, he offers him a valet recommendation to replace him. Not much is known about Aleister, but it can be assumed that he's probably a spy in addition to being an assassin since he was seen discussing details of his progress to assassinating Cyril over the phone. It can be assumed he was also an actual valet with his parting words pertaining to actually caring about Archer having a valet.
