Fox Mulder/Abduction

===Abduction and Recovery===
In 2000, Mulder disregarded the advice of an FBI auditor, specifically to reduce the resources he used on investigating the X-Files, by choosing to work with Scully on a case involving recent disappearances of several multiple abductees from the Oregon town where the agents had investigated their first case together. It was only after he returned to Washington, D.C. with Scully that Mulder and his associates learned of a downed UFO hidden in the Oregon woods where the abductees had been taken by aliens intent on covering up evidence of the abductions. Characteristically curious, Mulder headed to the location of the crashed spacecraft with AD Skinner but was abducted himself, taken aboard the craft with the other abductees and at least six Alien Bounty Hunters. 
Aboard the ship, Mulder was bound to a metallic apparatus and endured painful medical procedures, including the drilling of his teeth and the cracking of his chest In less than a week after his abduction, Mulder traveled aboard the craft to the Arizona desert, where the aliens made an unsuccessful attempt to abduct Gibson Praise The following year, the ship carrying Mulder visited Helena, Montana, where the aliens disposed of at least two of the abductees, seemingly either dead or barely alive and with injuries similar to those Mulder sustained aboard the craft. Mulder's body was abandoned outside a farm compound where abductees had been taken and healed of their wounds; he was found by FBI agents searching for him there At the time his body was discovered, he seemed to have been dead for days.
Mulder was consequently buried in Raleigh, North Carolina, following a funeral held there in his honor. He was actually infected with an alien virus, however, that kept the body just alive enough to take it through a transformation into an alien. After - an abductee who had been taken aboard the same alien craft as Mulder - was found deceased and floating in the Atlantic Ocean but later regained consciousness, Mulder's grave was unearthed three days after his burial and he was hospitalized. Billy Miles' transformation into an alien super-soldier informed Mulder's treatment and he was soon nursed back to health, regaining consciousness without encountering the same development as Billy Miles. 
:During Mulder's abduction, he is shown in flashbacks in the episodes "The Gift" and "Per Manum" but these are not directly related to his abduction. In the last scene of "The Gift", Doggett also has a momentary vision of Mulder while in the X-Files office. Scully later has a similar vision in "This is Not Happening". Scenes of Mulder's abduction shown previously in the series appear in "Three Words", an episode set after his return.
===Exclusion===
After Mulder returned home to his apartment, an application was submitted to the FBI for his reinstatement to the X-Files but this was declined by Kersh, who had been promoted to Deputy Director in charge of the X-Files shortly after Mulder had been abducted Mulder learned that Agent had been assigned to the X-Files with Scully, but she was pregnant and was soon to go on maternity leave Subsequently, Mulder returned to his former basement office and continued to place himself in danger by investigating two X-Files that allowed him to use his knowledge of the aliens and their conspiracy. 
A case Mulder worked on between these two investigations involved the possibility that the unfortunate conclusion to a search for Doggett's son, conducted years ago, was connected to several recent murders. The case was brought to Mulder by Special Agent , who had witnessed the discovery of both his deceased body and that of Doggett's son. 
Mulder was soon dismissed from the FBI, however, and passed the responsibility of the X-Files office to Agent Doggett Shortly thereafter, Mulder unofficially aided a search for Doggett and Leyla Harrison, an agent Doggett was temporarily partnered with. Mulder alone succeeded in finding the agents and was indirectly responsible for the killing of a shape-changing creature that had imprisoned them. 
Near the end of this period, Mulder notified Doggett of a news report that related to Scully's pregnancy, events that had transpired during Mulder's absence, a group that had been attempting to create alien babies and the destructive alien super-soldier Billy Miles. Mulder was instrumental in helping Scully flee from Billy Miles and the threat of other alien super-soldiers After he came to the realization that the super-soldiers had infiltrated the FBI and knew where Scully was, he managed to bring both her and her newborn baby son, William, to a hospital. 
===Further Disappearances and Trial===
Mulder was persuaded to go into hiding after first Kersh and then Scully expressed concerns that he would be killed by the super-soldiers if he stayed The details of Mulder's return, including the place and mode of transport, were arranged before he left Two days after he brought Scully and baby William home, Mulder took a shower in Scully's apartment before leaving in secret; neither Doggett, Scully, AD Skinner nor Monica Reyes, who had recently been assigned to the X-Files, was informed of his destination and no record of his journey was logged with movers, airlines or car rental agencies. Mulder's apartment was completely emptied on or shortly before the same morning he left. 
Mulder traveled to New Mexico, where he continued his search for "the truth" and hid in the desert with Gibson Praise He still had access to e-mail but resisted using it until January 7, 2002, when he sent a personal e-mail in which he remarked, "Some unexpected dimensions of my new life are eating away at any resolve I have left." He also admitted that he was lonely, wanted to come home to Scully and baby William, and was uncertain of his ability to continue living the way in which he was. This mode of communication was being monitored by at least one super-soldier, however.
Soon after, Mulder boarded a train that was scheduled to arrive at a station where he was due to meet Scully, Doggett, and Reyes but, due to an incident in which two men - one of whom was the super-soldier who had been monitoring Mulder's e-mails - were shot and the super-soldier fell on the tracks, the train passed the station without stopping. It was believed that Mulder jumped off the train shortly after it passed the station. 
Later that year, Mulder crept into the Mount Weather Complex in Bluemont, Virginia where he managed to access a classified file that contained information regarding colonization, including the date set for that event - December 22, 2012. After he electrocuted super-soldier Knowle Rohrer in retaliation for Rohrer assaulting him, Mulder was captured, imprisoned and subjected to an unsuccessful brainwashing attempt in his cell. He was reunited with Scully, Skinner, Doggett, and Reyes while imprisoned and learned that baby William had been given up for adoption.
As he was falsely accused of having killed Knowle Rohrer, Mulder was placed on trial. The proceeding was held in a courtroom under the jurisdiction of the US Marine Corps, with Skinner acting as Mulder's defense, Special Agent Kallenbrunner as the prosecutor and judges who were also members of the FBI, including Kersh. Many of Mulder's associates each provided a testimony at the trial but Mulder refused to present a testimony himself. After irrefutable proof that Knowle Rohrer had not been killed was presented at the trial, the evidence was dismissed and Mulder was pronounced as guilty, sentenced to death by lethal injection. Skinner, Doggett, Reyes, and even Kersh helped Mulder escape with Scully and he fled back to New Mexico with his former FBI partner. 
===Post-Trial Activities===
For years after his trial, Mulder remained on the run with Scully. Sometime between the trial in 2002 and 2008, he and Scully purchased a home somewhere in Virginia. Whereas Scully got a job at Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital as a children's doctor, Mulder remained in their home, isolated, because he was wanted by the FBI. He spent his days cutting out newspaper articles about paranormal activity and tacking them onto the walls of an office he set up at home. In 2008, Scully was contacted by the FBI, who told her they would drop the charges against Mulder if he came to help them on a case. Mulder was at first reluctant but later agreed. Much to Scully's concern, Mulder became deeply obsessed with solving the case, which involved a series of missing women. Mulder told Scully that such obsessiveness was key to his personality and that he missed his old life. Ultimately, Mulder solved the case and he told Scully they would try to escape the darkness that had surrounded them for so long. Shortly after this, Mulder went on a cruise to the Bahamas with Scully.
