Lana Anthony Kane is a fictional character of the American adult animated sitcom Archer. Created by Adam Reed, she is voiced by Aisha Tyler and debuted in the series' pilot episode, "Mole Hunt", on September 17, 2009.
Lana is the top female special agent of the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), a fictional New York-based intelligence agency. She serves as the series' straight woman, particularly to her ex-boyfriend and co-worker, protagonist Sterling Archer, whom she typically provides a sensible albeit short-tempered foil to. Archer 's subsequent years see her take on different occupations and personae as the show experiments with new ideas, character arcs and self-contained narratives.
Lana has aspirations for advancement as a master spy and has considered positions offered by ODIN (Organization of Democratic Intelligence Networks), both at their international headquarters and as Regional Director for the Americas, although her strong views often cause friction between her and her job.
