In the Pokémon Special manga
In the Pokémon Special manga, Archie is one of the devious villains of Hoenn. His identity is a secret, and he works as the head of Hoenn TV, which made him the boss of Gabby & Ty.Using his position as the master of the region's media, Archie was able to cover up Team Aqua's actions and air anti-Team Magma propaganda.
He ensures that Team Aqua's missions are carried out in top secret, and eliminates any evidence of their attacks. The only major feat they have accomplished is stealing the prototype engine for the Submarine Explorer 1; however, this was the only thing really essential to their plans. When Maxie obtained the Blue Orb, Amber's Volbeat stole it from them and gave it to him.
After Rayquaza interrupted the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, Archie and Maxie went insane and attempted to destroy those who interferred with their plans. Archie used his Tentacruel to pull Courtney into the Cave Of Origin, suffocate Ruby and hold Winona hostage when Wallace tried to save Ruby. Archie stomped on Ruby's Feebas, Mimi and mocked it for being weak and ugly.
In recent chapters of the Emerald chapter he was under an alias known as Guille Hideout. According to what has happened in the chapters, he wanted and successfully caught Jirachi so that way he can use up the wishes to create his utopia by summoning with one wish a fake Kyogre.

Trivia
- In the coding of Ruby and Sapphire, there is an unused Team Aqua sprite. The sprite bears a strong resemblance to Archie and some fans speculate it may be his beta sprite.
