AGENT DANGER COWLEY
Cowley was once Sculder's partner at the FBI. However, when he discovered the Hex
Files they split up and she took an assignment in Europe. Returning five years later,
she has taken up a key role in the Agent's life, much to the disgust of Mully, by
becoming re-involved with the Hex Files. A firm believer, Cowley appeared to be a
valuable ally for Sculder. Little did he know that she was hiding a dark allegiance
with his nemesis, the Pipe Smoking Man...
Cowley's return came after the massacre on the Ruskan Dam. (The End of the
Beginning) Instantly trusting his former partner, Sculder set her the task of
investigating the Posh Club test subject, Bart Simpson. However, as a part of the Pipe
Smoking Man's plot against the Hex Files, the boy was abducted from her custody and
she was shot by the kidnappers.
Cowley recovered, and returned months later to take a place on the newly re-opened
Hex Files. (The Beginning of the End) She explained to Sculder that she was
there to serve his interests and protect the work, even helping him infiltrate a
restricted nuclear facility to follow a Teletubby Colonist and try to prove the
conspiracy.
However, Mully's instant dis-trust of Cowley only grew, especially when her reports
appeared to implicate Sculder and Mully's actions. Following Cowley's suspicious
removal of Cassandra Spencer from Sculder's apartment, (Tomorrow's End)
Mully carried out an investigation with the Tone Deaf Swordsmen which suggested
she was working with the Posh Club. Sculder refused to believe her, despite
discovering the Pipe Smoking Man in her apartment. Unbeknownst to Sculder,
though, Mully's fears were correct and, having worked with him to secure
Colonisation, Cowley aided the Pipe Smoking Man's escape when the Rebels attacked
and killed the Posh Club. She then attempted to help him rebuild the Project by capturing an alien assassin in Ohiyurung (Life) but after being wounded and having her duplicity exposed to Sculder, she realised her true love was to him and betrayed the Pipe Smoking Man to give Sculder the information which could lead him to his hamster. As a result, the Pipe Smoking Man murdered her in her hospital bed. X-Files Equivalent: Agent Diana Fowley
