Lana Kane (voiced by Aisha Tyler) is a star agent at ISIS as well as Sterling's former girlfriend. Lana has aspirations for advancement as a master spy and has considered positions offered by ODIN both at their international headquarters ("Job Offer") and as Regional Director for the Americas ("A Going Concern"). Lana is known to have very strong hands of Johnny Bench-ian proportions which are a source of constant ridicule by her coworkers.

Background
Edit
Lana got her job as an ISIS agent during a protest at a local furrier. She was about to throw red paint on Malory Archer's new fur, when Malory pointed her gun at Lana's forehead. The rest of the protestors fled, including Joshua Gray, but Lana was not intimidated. Malory then offered Lana a job. Three weeks later she was on her first mission in Tunisia "killing a different man", referencing that Malorys' first mission was in the same country.
Lana ended a long term relationship with Sterling, due mostly to his cheating on her. Although, his very demanding relationship with his mother did not help either. However it is shown that both Sterling and Lana have lingering feelings for each other and still care for each other, although they often bicker. In the episode "Stage Two," Archer thought he was going to die of breast cancer, he convinced Lana (out of pity) into a one night stand. During the affair, he appeared to want to tell Lana his true feelings, however, that was interrupted. In "Sea Tunt: Part II," Archer tells Lana he loves her.
Lana also dated ISIS comptroller Cyril Figgis for a time, to the mystification of her colleagues. That relationship ended when she walked in on him cheating on her with Framboise. Her relationship with Cyril may have been due to the fact that he was perceived as a more stable partner compared to her earlier relationship with Sterling. She was much more comfortable with him since his mother had "died in a fire". She eventually got back together with Cyril in "Viscous Coupling".
Lana also has a strong maternal desire to have a baby. In "Blood Test," she propositions both Sterling and Ray Gillette to have a child (albeit while drunk). In "Sea Tunt: Part ll," Lana tells everyone she is pregnant and confirms Cyril is not the father, much to his chagrin.
Trivia
Edit
- She was formerly a radical environmentalist. - Pipeline Fever
- When she started at ISIS Lana had an afro, which is large enough for Joshua Gray to pull a joint and a pencil out of. Archer said made her look like the love child of Angela Davis and "Sweet" Lou Dunbar.
- She has $420,675 in her ISIS 401(k) - "Jeu Monégasque"
- Lana's sidearm of choice is a fully automatic TEC-9, of which she carries two (they appear nickel plated in Doulbe Trouble when she, Malory, and Ray engage in a shootout at Archer's flat in attempt to capture Katya, whom they believe is a double agent).



Knickel 9s, Malory's scoped .44 Magnum, Liza + Barbra
Added by Phrasing...BOOM! - Often uses the word "Yup!" with a hearty, back-of-the-throat emphasis on the "u", and "Nope!" with a similar emphasis on the "o."
- She is often seen drinking bottled orange soda from the ISIS vending machines which she can open without a bottle opener - and they aren't twist offs (Drift Problem).
- Fantasized about Alex Karras while having pity sex with Pam in the episode Dial M for Mother
- Her blood type is A-negative.
- Lana's name is a play on Lanacane (a trade name of benzocaine), a brand of itch-reliever.
- Archer is the reason for her getting crabs twice (Heart of Archness: Part II)
- Her aim is reported as not having been very good during her ISIS training, earning her the nickname "Spray and Pray" (The Wind Cries Mary). However it appears to have since improved since she is a certified counter sniper and can make cursive 'L's on targets (Movie Star)
