Rittenhouse Sketch - Which character? Rai?

See this Rittenhouse sketch here?

Which character is this? It looks like Rai to me, but I don't think that's right, as these were made in 2013 (presumably, unreleased chaser art cards for the unreleased comic card packs), and "goatee/long hair don't care" Rai didn't come out until later. Is this correct?

The face looks more like Rai… but the clothing (either Roman or Egyptian vibe) hints at one of the Anni-Padda Brothers (possibly immortal or time traveler).

I agree, it looks like Armstrong in the Boon timeframe clothing.

It looks like the image is based on a scene from the very beginning of Archer & Armstrong #1 (2012) where Armstrong is trying to "STOP" Ivar from activating the Boon; just from a different angle.
