From XPOSE #14 (August 1997)

                        The Sex Files --  Alex Krycek
                        Played by Nicholas Lea

This renegade FBI agent was attached to Mulder after the X-Files
were temporarily closed down and our two heroes reassigned. Alex
Krycek first came to our attention in the season two story, "Sleepless,"
where initially at least he appeared as an eager new agent, still wet
behind the ears. He certainly seemed open to the extreme possibilities that
he encountered with Mulder as they tracked down Augustus Cole, the war
veteran with a terrible secret. However, Cole was not the only one who was
not all that he seemed. At the end of the episode we learn that the young
agent's eagerness to please was a front as he was in the pay of the
Cigarette Smoking Man all the time.

Hot Points

Alex Krycek is certainly one of the most handsome men to have appeared on
the show. In his first story, his inexperience and enthusiasm are as
appealing as his clean cut looks and stunning green eyes. But he is no
pushover, when Mulder tries to take the case from him, Krycek fights his
ground. Krycek is fast becoming the world's most lovable rogue. Despite all
the terrible things he does, you can't help feeling a bit of sympathy for
him.

Dating Drawbacks

But let's not mince words: This boy has problems with commitment  
and loyalty. Not least that he is entirely amoral and would shoot
your grandmother if there was the least advantage in it for him.  You could 
never   trust a word he says and actually going out on a
date would be difficult as he is constantly hunted by the agents of 
several governments.

The Last Word

However, despite all these shortcomings, he has a devilish charm and smile
that could make you question whether you really loved your grandma anyway.
And check him out in "Piper Maru" and "Apocrypha" when his silky black hair is
a little longer and he's wearing that battered leather jacket. Hot.
