History: A deeply placed
operative known only as "Deep Throat," this man had been in contact with
Agt. Mulder, supplying him with information for an extended period beginning
when Agt. Mulder assumed the X-Files. Deep Throat provided leads, diverted
Agts. Mulder and Scully from dead ends, and yet, at times led them into
dead ends. Agt. Scully has expressed to Agt. Mulder her distrust of Deep
Throat as a source of accurate information. As an Agency operative assigned
to Vietnam in the 1960s, Deep Throat claimed to have killed an alien life-form
whose craft had been shot down or had crash-landed. He was rumored to have
terminated an EBE in the United States, though no independent confirmation
of this event exists. His work was largely unknown even within the intelligence
community, except by those with a need to know. An associate, the Cigarette-Smoking
Man, was rumored to be behind Deep Throat’s assassination in 1994.
Deep Throat is believed to have been an associate of Agt. Mulder's father,
William Mulder; in his mother's house, Agt. Mulder once discovered a photograph
of a group of men which included both his father and Deep Throat. However,
nothing else is known of Deep Throat’s life outside of his association with
Agt. Mulder. |
