Well-Manicured Man

The Well-Manicured Man is a fictional character played by John Neville on the 1990s television series The X-Files. The Well-Manicured Man is a member of the Consortium, a shadow organization within the United States government that exists to hide from the public the fact that aliens are visiting Earth. At times he appears to be the leader of the consortium, while other times he appears to submit to their will.

The Well-Manicured Man prefers subtlety to brute force, and will attempt to manipulate those in his way before using physical violence. Although the Consortium's goals are opposed to that of Mulder and Scully's, the Well-Manicured Man will, at times, aid them with clues or information.

No one knows the real name of the Well-Manicured Man: His nickname comes from the fact that he is so well-groomed, with a clean-shaven face and neatly-made hair.

In The X-Files: Fight the Future, the Well-Manicured Man is assassinated with a carbomb, after telling Mulder where he could find the missing Scully.
