Special Agent Fox William Mulder, nicknamed "Spooky" Mulder is a Fictional character played by David Duchovny on the 1993 - 2002 He is named for the informant of the same name in the film JFK. JFK is a 1991 American film directed by Oliver Stone. The film was released on December 20 1991
X first appears at the beginning of season 2, after he contacts Mulder to tell him he "has a friend at the FBI. " X became Mulder's information source after Deep Throat, Mulder's first informant, was executed. Deep Throat is a Fictional character in the Television show The X-Files, played by Jerry Hardin. The Cigarette Smoking Man was X's superior. The Cigarette Smoking Man (also known as Cancer Man or CGB Spender) was a character played by William B
X was quite different from his predecessor. He was much more cautious, far less friendly, and being an MIB operative, rather ruthless. Often he would not respond to Mulder's signal for help/information (two strips of tape in the form of an X in Mulder's window) if X felt that the risk to his own life was too high. In his own words, he viewed Mulder as his tool, which he would go to when needed. These facts led to an unstable partnership between Mulder and X, and heated arguments with guns drawn were not uncommon.
While X's loyalties, or what his own agenda was, were often unclear, he has more than once proven that he at least does not want Mulder dead. It is likely that, while he wished certain information to be released for the common good as Deep Throat did, his own perspective was more hardened than Deep Throat's had been. There were at times indications that X cared more about Mulder than he wanted people to believe; he may have felt that it was inappropriate for a member of a group like the Men in Black to be seen as having any emotional attachments, or that said attachments were what led to the death of Deep Throat. His voluntary naming of Marita Covarrubias as his successor while dying (and his ghostly appearance to give Mulder her address in the final episode) strongly implied that he felt Mulder's work in exposing the conspiracy was of vital importance; however his precise motivations for this belief remained obscure. Marita Covarrubias is a Fictional character on the Television series The X-Files. His actions during the events leading to his own assassination also implied that, although his outward behaviour was at times ruthless, he was nevertheless possibly capable of a greater level of compassion than would customarily be expected from someone in his position.
In the episode "End Game", he goes to Mulder's apartment but finds Scully, who pleads that she needs to know where Mulder is, believing his life to be in danger. Special Agent Dana Katherine Scully MD is a Fictional character on the Fox Broadcasting Co Initially X refuses, and is subsequently confronted by Skinner, who seemed to recognize X. Walter Sergei Skinner is a Fictional character played by Mitch Pileggi on the Fox television series The X-Files. He relinquishes Mulder's location, though not until after a brief but intense scuffle with Skinner, in which X draws his firearm point blank and remarks that he has "killed men for far less. In External ballistics, point-blank range is the distance between a Firearm and a target of a given size such that the bullet in flight is expected to strike the target " (It is odd that he would go to Mulder's apartment and knock on the door even though he knows that Mulder has left the country. ) In the episode "731", X's loyalty to Mulder is further confirmed. Trapped on a train car equipped with a time bomb, Mulder, about to escape, is attacked brutally by an MIB assassin, the Red Haired Man. A time bomb (or timebomb time-bomb) is an Improvised explosive device with a Timer so that it can be set to Detonate any time In The X-Files television show The Men in Black ( MIB for short and singular Man in Black) refer unofficially to a group of enforcers As the Red Haired Man is about to step off, he is shot fatally by fellow Man In Black, X. X boards the car and with only time left to save either Mulder or the alien-human hybrid the car was transporting; he opts to save Mulder, and carries him off to safety just as the car explodes.
In the season 4 opener "Herrenvolk", X's position as an informant is discovered by the Syndicate. When suspicion arises after the finding of photographs that were taken of Cigarette Smoking Man (by X), false information is planted at the Elder's behest, in order to root out the leak. The First Elder is a character on The X-Files, played by Don S The information, in the Elder's words, was "That Mrs. Mulder's life is in danger. Elizabeth "Teena" Kuipers Mulder ( 1941 - 2000) is the mother of the fictional X-Files character Fox Mulder. . . that left unprotected. . . she may come to an unnatural end. " X, attempting to relay the information to Mulder, goes to his apartment, and is surprised by fellow MIB operative, the Gray Haired Man, who guns down X. In The X-Files television show The Men in Black ( MIB for short and singular Man in Black) refer unofficially to a group of enforcers With his last strength, X crawls to Mulder's doorstep and writes in his own blood "SRSG", meaning "Special Representative to the Secretary General" of the UN, one of whose assistants is Marita Covarrubias, who becomes Mulder's next informant.

After his death, X appears two more times: in the Lone Gunmen origin story "Unusual Suspects" (in which he inadvertently gives the Lone Gunmen their name, by commenting that he heard the JFK assassination was the work of a lone gunman), and as a ghost in the series finale. The Lone Gunmen are a trio of Fictional characters Richard "Ringo" Langly Melvin Frohike and John Fitzgerald Byers who had recurring roles on The X-Files The Lone Gunmen are a trio of Fictional characters Richard "Ringo" Langly Melvin Frohike and John Fitzgerald Byers who had recurring roles on The X-Files

This was carried out by X in order to secure his own safety, as Cigarette Smoking Man was having him watched closely.
