| History: Referred to only
as "X," this individual grudgingly became Agt, Mulder's confidential source
out of loyalty to his murdered mentor, the man referred to as Deep Throat.
Considering Agt. Mulder less of a colleague than a tool to use for his own
ends, X provided information and assistance only when it served his own
purposes and always on his own terms. Apparently associated with the Cigarette-Smoking
Man, X at times seemed to betray that relationship. Ultimately, that betrayal
cost X his life, when he was murdered inside Agt. Mulder's apartment building
after passing along misinformation deliberately constructed to trace a suspected
security breach. Before he died, X managed to leave a message in blood,
pointing Agt. Mulder to a new source, Marita Covarrubias, Assistant to the
Special Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations. |
