Born on November 22, 1963 and named after the thirty-fifth president who was killed on that day, John Fitzgerald Byers looks like a professor who has wandered into a CIA rendezvous by mistake. His background as a public affairs officer for the Federal Communications Commission explains his current look. But while his neat beard and dapper suits seem out of place among his grungier colleagues in the Lone Gunmen, his sharp mind and no-nonsense demeanor attest to an encyclopedic knowledge of conspiracy theory and current speculation on everything from the Kennedy assassination to the latest in DNA research. The military and information systems expert of the Lone Gunmen cabal, Byers has an on-going crush on Suzanne Modeski, a scientist whose life is perpetually in danger. He becomes involved in saving her from a secret shadow group, which opens up Byers' eyes to the real conspiracies in the government. The Gunmen join forces trying to protect her, meeting Mulder for the first time. Byers occasionally indulges in a wit as sardonic as the FBI agent, as when he tells him, "That's why we like you, Mulder: Your ideas are weirder than ours." In "One Breath" (2X08) Byers unerringly recognizes and describes the bizarre recombinant chemistry that lies at the heart of Scully's disease, and quietly expresses sympathy to Mulder. Unlike co-conspirators Langly and Frohike, he is the least liable to crack a joke or even a smile, but his calm intelligence lends authority and believability to the unlikely trio's offices.
