THE WELL FED MAN
The extremely well rounded and enigmatic Well Fed Man is the presiding figure over
the Posh Club. Little is known about him, except that he lives alone in Florida with a
walk-in fridge. However, his power and influence over the conspirators is immense,
and at his word even the Pipe Smoking Man and Nicely Waxed Man have suffered for
failing the greater purpose. It is this unshakeable belief in the conspiracy, though,
which will prove to be his undoing...
Unlike many others in the Posh Club, the Well Fed Man has no fondness for Sculder's
investigations and has asked for his death on many occasions. Indeed, much to the
Nicely Waxed Man's disgust, his response to the crisis over the missing Exodus file
was to order hits on both Sculder and Mully (Exodus Res Dana) However,
when Pipe Smoking Man went ahead with a hit on Assistant Director Spinner
without his authorisation (Cabrit Sans Cord) he came down heavy on his
colleague, especially when it resulted in a crisis involving a missing test
subject. It is clear that he played a key role in administering Mully's cancer,
rejecting the Nicely Waxed Man’s criticisms over whether she should be allowed to
survive. (Tungaga)
When the Pipe Smoking
Man appeared to be making deals with Sculder which threatened to expose the
Project, he ordered his assassination. (Redox Too) The reappearance of the
man he tried to kill
proved embarrassing, but the Posh Club were too preoccupied with the new threat of
the alien Rebels. A power struggle emerged over a course of action to take: the Nicely
Waxed Man expressed a desire to betray the Colonists and side with the Rebels, but
the Well Fed Man over-ruled him, stating the Project would move on to completion as
agreed whatever the threat. (The End of the Beginning)
After the death of his rival, the course of the Posh Club was assured. And when,
suddenly, the Project was completed through the success of Cassandra Spencer as an
alien/human hybrid, he immediately ordered the start of Colonisation.
(Tomorrow's End) However, he had underestimated the threat of the Rebels
and whilst the Posh Club were gathering to await the arrival of the Colonists, the
Rebels attacked and slaughtered everyone present. The Well Fed Man died as he had
lived: trying to protect the Project regardless of the cost... X-Files Equivalent: First Elder
