Perhaps the Archon and Abbot Vidian are one and the same person. But at the moment there is no conclusive evidence of this.
The Archon simultaneously uses both Sanguimancy and Necromancy - a crazy cocktail of forbidden knowledge.
The appearance of the Ascended Archon is suspiciously similar to how demons are depicted in the eschatological stories of the Aldorian clergy.
