Profession(s)	Antiquities Dealer
Allegiance(s)	Indiana Jones Suzie Tan Charles Kingston

Archie Tan was a Chinese-American antiques dealer, who ran his own business, Tan's Exotic Imports, from San Francisco's Chinatown. He had connections in both the United States and in Asia. He was the grandfather of Suzie Tan, and a friend to Indiana Jones and Charles Kingston.

In 1939, he had a possible lead on where Kingston was, and contacted Jones. The Tong leader, Blind Duck, under orders from Magnus Völler, kidnapped him and searched his office for information that would help lead back to finding Kingston. Eventually, Jones was able to rescue Tan, who helped point his friend towards Panama as the place to pick up Kingston's trail.

[edit] Different adventures with Archie Tan

• Wii/PS2 version of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings: Captured by the Tongs, Tan was transferred over the custody of Magnus Völler. As Völler learned that Jones had been sighted at Tan's office, searching for the Jade Sphere, the German archaeologist waited outside the office with his men and Tan as a hostage. When Jones emerged from the shop, with a wrapped round bundle, Völler arranged to trade Tan for the Sphere. Tan read Jones' furtive glances and prepared for action. As Jones tossed the wrapped bundle in the air, Tan broke free and jumped onto a passing cable car. Jones also climbed aboard, and the two rode downhill, leaving Völler behind with a worthless jade Buddha statue. Tan took cover on board the cable car while Jones shot out with Völler's gunmen chasing behind them in cars. Finally escaping from their pursuers, Tan got a chance to tell Jones what he knew about Kingston's whereabouts in Panama.
