The new ISIS requisitions officer in Season 4 who appeared in the episode The Wind Cries Mary when Lana and Cyril were chasing after Sterling who was meeting Lucas Troy.
Personality
Rodney Whosits is the new requisitions officer, and as such, is in charge of keeping track of all the weapons in ISIS's armory. He is very by-the-book, and insists that weapon requisitions be done in writing, preferably in triplicate, to the ire of the employees of ISIS.
Once this policy was instituted, all missions have a designated list of equipment approved by Malory. Rodney assists her with creating this list as, according to him, she "goes by [his] personal, professional recommendations." Any change has to be approved in writing by Malory. ("Legs")
Rodney is always seen behind his glass window, which can withstand the force of a rocket launcher, as seen in Legs. He can also seal off his room with steel curtains.
Rodney reports directly to Malory Archer and has no obligation to anyone else. ("The Wind Cries Mary")
Usually he completely follows the rules and seems to enjoy doing so. He really fits in the role of a bureaucrat. But in "Live and Let Dine," he agrees to help Pam and Cheryl find the secret phone number for reservations at Lance Casteau's restaurant and make a reservation for Malory in return for a handjob from Cheryl. Cheryl only agrees because Malory has threatened to kill Pam's fish otherwise, which would lead to Pam being killed by underground fish fighting gangs, and she would then have to change her Sunday routine. She uses a rubber glove and says "But I am not going to spit in your face." When she finishes, she does however scream like a monkey and spit in his face. Rodney's reaction, in addition to the expected enjoyment, is to say "I think I'm in love with you." He has previously been more friendly to Cheryl than the others.
Following ISIS' dissolution as a spy agency, Rodney personally confiscated the entire ISIS armory, using the munitions supply to establish himself as an immensely successful and very dangerous arms dealer. As such, he did not return to the agency after its re-establishment.
Trivia
- He has many common signs seen around bureaucrat's offices, such as the ubiquitous "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part."
