"Operating out of a private
club on 46th Street in New York City, this mysterious international group
of unnamed powerful men is behind a vast number of global conspiracies.
Their focus appears to be on
The Project, an agenda involving alien-human hybrid clones and extra-terrestrial
colonization. The reach of their influence stretches far, including many
connections within the US government.
It is the Syndicate that pulls
the Cigarette-smoking man's strings & intends to keep Mulder and Scully
from uncovering the truth."
Most of the syndicate appeared to be annihilated by the faceless rebels in "One Son"£ although the cigarette-smoking man, Krycek, Diana Fowley and Strughold are still alive.
