Of course, Mulder and Scully are our favorite TheXFiles duo, but robertpatrickT2's John Doggett was a real stand-up guy.

Do you remember those two strange years in the early 2000s when The X-Files tried to softly reboot itself after David Duchovny left the show? Fox Mulder had effectively been written off the show , and Dana Scully was left to pick up the pieces.

From the get-go, we're meant to feel uneasy about Doggett, but not because he's a bad guy. Rather, like Scully, we're meant to know more than he does, to have a semi-firm grasp on the truth, while Doggett is still bumbling around in the dark. Upon their first meeting in the Season 8 premiere "Within," Scully throws water in Doggett's face after he insinuates that Scully didn't really know Mulder as well as she thought he did.

That said, although Doggett often opted to follow orders, that didn't mean he'd follow them blindly. Sure, if an order was good, he'd waste no time obeying it, especially if he trusted the person behind said command - cutting into Scully's neck to save her from an alien parasite in "Roadrunners" maybe be the best example here, though it's not the only one - but that doesn't mean he wouldn't question authority if need be.

Of all the characters to come and go throughout The X-Files, John Doggett is among the most loyal, if not the most loyal of all. At first, this seems like a bold statement, especially compared to the love and loyalty that exists between Mulder and Scully, but when examining Doggett's history and career, it's clear that his sense of loyalty knows very few bounds.
