Archbishop is a hero found in the Scenario Editor in Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. He is based on a generic European bishop of higher rank or office within the realm of Christianity. The Archbishop is represented by a Monk but with better stats. As a hero, the Archbishop cannot be converted and can regenerate health (since The Conquerors).
Like other Monks, the Archbishop is affected by all upgrades that affect Monks as well as any other bonuses that affect them. He cannot pick up Relics: in prior versions, a glitch will turn him into a regular Monk on picking one up.
