The only archetype I can identify from The Landing is the shapeshifter. Ben is a bit of a shapeshifter in that he will work very hard and focus and be a no fun phisical worker, then on the next page he will be a nervous performer playing violin for a bunch of rich New Yorkers, while drinking beer. Or he could be a very loving person, while trying to save his uncle from drowning. The fact that he changes his personality so often gives him a slight similarity to the shapeshifter.
"...Henry. I'm so sorry. Forgive me. It was easier, for a while." -John Ibbitson, The Landing. pg. 147
