LANGLY

FULL NAME: Ringo Langly

APPEARENCE: black-rimmed glasses, long  blond hair and T-shirts from a dozen hard-rock bands (like "The Romones")

EXPERT ON: Communications expert; computer hacker

PERSONALITY: seems like doesn't take life too seriously; the one  most likely to joke with Mulder or invite him to "hop on the Internet to nitpick the scientific  inaccuracies" of a new science-fiction show. But he's also a little bent

INTERESTING FACT: Langly once bragged that he had breakfast with the "guy who shot John Kennedy," saying that he was dressed as a police officer on  the grassy knoll.

HOW HE BECAME A LGM: After meeting John Byers, along with rival cable TV salesman Melvin Frohike, Langly also met with Suzanne Modeski, a woman who claimed that the government was eXperimenting with chemicals on the people of Boston.

HISTORY WITH MULDER AND SCULLY:
Although the paranoid conspiracy theorist has a lot of respect for Mulder, nevertheless, when Mulder insists that Langly turn off the recording device in "E.B.E.," Langly does not hesitate to lie to him. In exchange for  a photo of an E.B.E. (EXtraterrestrial Biological Enity), Langly supplied Mulder and Scully with computer-hacked IDs to gain access to a secret goverment facility.  Among the Lone Gunmen, truth is as rare as trust.

When Mulder teleconferenced with the Lone Gunmen from Idaho, in "Fearful Symmetry," Byers, explains Langly's absence in a meeting as a philosophical aversion to having his  image bounced off a satellite. He automatically records every incoming phone call, and is evidently as  conversant with current conspiracy theory as his two compadres. But he is ready with a laugh any time Mulder's theories get a little "out there," such as the idea that UFOs started the Gulf War.

Although the Lone Gunmen stive to keep a low profile, an ice-skating Langly joined his colleagues in  a clandestine package retrieval mission for Mulder at a Washington, D.C.-area rink and in the high-tech infiltration of a research facility via a subterranean tunnel.
