ALEC BICEP
Bicep was once the former partner of Agent Sculder. However, tiring of his fellow
agents' obsessions with aliens and finding a love for casual violence, he double
crossed him to become the
Pipe Smoking Man's head assassin and general dogsbody. Having got a taste of
betrayal, Bicep decided to dabble a little more in the finer arts of espionage. He has
become a double dealing rogue agent, betraying to Posh Club to go freelance and
further his own aims. Bicep is also believed to wear womans underwear.
His work in the Posh Club involved the assassination of Sculder's father (Exodus
Res Dana) which has fuelled a long running hatred between the former partners
(well, it would really wouldn't it?) However, the Pipe Smoking Man tried to
assassinate him after he bungled up the attempt on Mully's life (Sins of the
Fathers). Bicep survived and, after telling
his boss he no longer took orders from him, went undercover, vowing revenge.
Bicep formed an alliance with the Russians for reasons he, nor the scriptwriters, ever
bothered to explain. Using his lover Marita Unablonder to secure his re-entry to the
USA, Bicep returned a year later to blackmail the Posh Club with information he stole
a year earlier. However, after being persued by Sculder and losing an arm to some
mad Russian farmers (Tungaga), Bicep reluctantly made a deal with the
Nicely Waxed Man and rejoined the Posh Club.
He went back to Russia briefly to do the Posh Club's dirty work
and destroy Russian research into the alien virus and briefly he attempted to betray
them again (Prophecy Woman) but was undone by Marita Unablonder. The
Nicely Waxed Man decided that Bicep was worth more alive than dead, and sent
him to retrieve Pipe Smoking Man from Canada and then accost Sculder with the
truth about the rebel attacks. (The End of the Beginning)
With the death of the Nicely Waxed Man, Bicep inherited his place in the Posh Club
and became the Pipe Smoking Man's aide. (Tomorrow's End) Bicep's aim,
however, remains self-preservation and when an alien Rebel race wiped out the Posh
Club, Bicep escaped to once again become a freelance.
Bicep tried to obtain evidence of the Posh Club's experiments to sell to the highest bidder. First by attempting to, once again, kidnap Bart Simpson. At which he failed. And then by stealing the research of the man who had succeeded in the job, Dr. Kevin Llewellyn. (Everything) At this he succeeded, killing the doctor in the process. But he mistakinly chose to deal with Marita Unablonder. Whom, having rejoined the Pipe Smoking Man, betrayed her former lover to his mortal enemy. After being incarcerated in Tunisia for three months, Bicep's release was arranged by
the same man who put him there. (Invasion Earth) With the Colonist threat at
its most critical, Bicep was charged with finding out their plans and looking for a
means of attack. He realised, however, that the Pipe Smoking Man's agenda was to
find a way for his own survival to be assured. Betraying his former boss for the last
time, he and Marita joined forces with Agents Sculder and Mully to lead an assault on
the Colonists. (Nothing Like the Truth) Confronted by multiple Bounty
Hunters, Bicep offered to fight them off so that Sculder and Mully could get to the
truth, a decision which cost him his life. The rogue agent came full circle back to
partner to the agents, sacrificing himself for the truth and dying is a hero. Abliet, as an
immensely flat and messy one. X-File Equivalent: Alex Krycek
