Special Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder was on a fast track in th FBI when he took a detour into the paranormal. Convinced through hypnotic regression that his sister was abducted by some unknown power whe they were children, he is now obsessed with discovering th truths hidden in the X-files, a repristory for the extraordinary, the unexplained and the supernatural. Recruited into the bureau after studying psychology at Oxford, Mulder showed an inclamation 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 choose "the basement office with no heat" where the FBI hides th X-files. Only his network of contacts in Congres 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.
