In what seems to be a direct response to the new sci-fi series Dark Skies (or maybe it's the other way round!), the truth is uncovered a bit more on the Cancer Man and it also pieces him together with several key events in the history of the world.

In the Lone Gunmen's secret office, Mulder and Scully listen as Frohike uncovers what he believes to be the truth behind the Cancer Man. Little do they know, that hidden away in a high-rise building is the Cancer Man listening in on his conversation armed and ready.

Frohike first believes that the Cancer Man was orphaned as a baby, his mother dying of lung cancer and his father, a Communist spy being electrocuted. In 1963, he became an Army Captain which proved his abilities to a secret shadowy organization within the government. This prompted him to be recruited where is first assignment was none other than the assassination of JFK. It was then that the Cancer Man lighted his first ever cigarette and earned his nickname.

By 1968, the Cigarette-Smoking Man has become so powerful that even J.Edgar Hoover himself is taking orders from him. He was also involved in the operation against Martin Luther King. By Christmas 1991, he has now been involved in rigging world elections, assassinating political leaders as well as swaying the Oscars and the Olympics to his own selfish gain. Despite the enormity of his power though, he still remains a lonely man living on his own with no wife and family. He doesn't even have any enemies with the Soviet Union gone.

Then the incident that will change his life forever occurs, the UFO crash at Roswell. The once young Deep Throat was involved in exterminating the living E.B.E recovered from the site and now he has a purpose in life. The X-Files division in the FBI headquarters is opened and Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are brought to investigate cases that will bring more information about extra-terrestrials and the unexplained to him without him even lifting a finger.

Suddenly this year his dream was accomplished, as a talented writer, one of his stories was finally published in a magazine. Ready to resign he declines when he realizes the magazine is nothing more than a cheap girlie one. Disappointed he sits on a park bench alone with no hope. The story is over.

As Frohike leaves the office our hearts are in our mouths as to whether the Cancer Man will shoot and kill him. Suddenly he realizes that he can kill Frohike any time he wants and that he doesn't have to do it right now. He just sits there looking over the extent of his power.
