Name: Skinner, Walter Sergei

D.O.B: Unknown.

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Brown

Details: When he was eighteen years old Walter Skinner volunteered for service in the marines in Vietnam. There, in Vietnam he had an out of body/near death experience and says he is afraid to explore further extreme possibilities.

After Vietnam he became Assistant Director in the FBI and paid close attention to work of Agent Mulder and his partner, Dana Scully, who were gradually exposing a government conspiracy. He respects Mulder as a FBI agent and admires him for being able to explore the unexplained, which he, himself, was too afraid to do. He may also have feelings for Agent Scully as during her struggle with cancer he made a deal with the Cancer Man to save Scully's life if he performs the 'dirty work' for the conspiracy.

His wife's name is Sharon and they have not been together for 8 months (at the time of 'Avatar'). Skinner is trying to get a divorce and now only has to sign the final paper but he has elected not to divorce her after she was involved in a road accident.

Since 'Avatar' he has moved apartments. He drinks Whisky and took drugs (probably marijuana) in Vietnam.
