John Doggett
Agent John Doggett (played by Robert Patrick) joined the FBI from the New York City Police Department, where he served as a Detective in the Fugitive Division's Warrant section. Approaching all of his investigations like a doubting cop, he believes that everything can be explained with standard police techniques. So it is no surprise that after only five years at the Bureau, he is assigned by Deputy Director Kersh to run the task force looking for Mulder. Although he may be set up to fail, Doggett has resigned himself to solve the case.
Masters and doctoral degrees in Public Administration from Syracuse University prove Doggett's willingness to conform to the government's blueprint. He is the consummate insider on the fast track to success.
Previous to his police work, Doggett held the rank of Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps' Amphibious Unit and played a role in the Multi-National Peacekeeping Force for Lebanon Development. With six years in the military, he retired with commendations after being wounded in the line of duty.
Unlike Scully, who has Science as her argument, Doggett is a sort of knee-jerk skeptic. He needs to see it, touch it, taste it & smell it to believe it. Although, distrusted by Scully and Skinner in the beginning, Doggett is made to realise by Skinner that he is a pawn in a rigged game in "Without". He is told that he is being set to fail, because if he puts anything about UFOs, aliens or bounty hunters in his report on searching for Mulder, Kersh would ruin him. Never the less, according to Kersh, Doggett's report at the end of "Without" sounded like science fiction, and by the end of the episode, he is assigned with Scully to investigate The X-Files
