Special Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder was on a
fast track in the FBI when he took a detour into
the paranormal. Convinced through hypnotic
regression that his sister was abducted by some
unknown power when they were children, he is
now obsessed with discovering the truths hidden
in the X-Files, a repository for the extraordinary,
the unexplained and the supernatural.

Recruited into the Bureau after studying
psychology at Oxford, Mulder showed an
inclination toward the off beat from the
beginning of his career. His early monograph on
serial killers and the occult led to the capture of
a notorious murderer. But far from pursuing
what could have been a stellar career within the
Bureau, Mulder chose "the basement office with
no heat" where the FBI hides the X-Files. Only
his network of contacts in Congress and other
halls of power has allowed him to continue his
investigations in the face of official indifference
and covert opposition. Opposed by enemies
within the Bureau itself and beyond, the only
person he can trust absolutely is his partner,
Dana Scully.
