Doggett

Thank you to CrowbytheCoast and the Stock the Pond for giving me this guy

And thank you to Skydust for all his genes including his breedchange scroll ;v;(the achievements there for you)

If I had a nickel for every Robert Patrick fandragon ive had to buy a WC scroll for I'd have two nickels
Which is coincidentally the number of Robert Patrick fandergs i have

My two Robert Patrick fandergs are literally Good Cop and Bad Cop



His fam is in reference to the Soul eater creature from the episode The Gift
Doggett tried to save the soul eater by bundling it in the back of his car
The Soul eater ate Agent Doggett and brought him back to life after he got shot
It was a good episode

Doggett is the best g*damn character in the series he did not get enough time on the screen ugghghhg
Am i biased? yes
Do i care? no
Went in expecting just eye candy. Ended up falling in love with his whole character

Edit: met Robert Patrick at a con- he's such a genuine guy. Really sweet and funny

Behind the scenes: First appearance: "Within" (November 5, 2000) Last appearance: "The Truth (Part II)" (May 19, 2002) Portrayed by: Robert Patrick In-universe information: Full name: John Jay Doggett Gender: Male Occupation: FBI Special Agent City: Washington, D.C. Family: Barbara Doggett, Luke Doggett Agent Partners: Dana Scully, Monica Reyes Affiliations: Fox Mulder, Walter Skinner, The Lone Gunmen FBI Special Agent John Jay Doggett is a fictional character in the Fox science fiction-supernatural television series The X-Files. With his FBI partners Dana Scully (season 8) and Monica Reyes (season 9), they work on the X-Files together, which is concerned with cases with particularly mysterious or possibly supernatural circumstances that were left unsolved and shelved by the FBI. John Doggett is played by Robert Patrick. Doggett was a main character from the eighth to ninth seasons (2000–2002), replacing David Duchovny's character Fox Mulder. Doggett appeared in the opening credits and every episode from the season eight premiere to the final episode of season 9. Doggett made his first appearance in the 2000 episode "Within". Doggett served in the United States Marine Corps from the 1970s to the 1980s. Later he started working for the New York Police Department, he was eventually promoted to detective. After his son's death, he got a job in the FBI. He started to work for the Criminal Investigations Division. In 2000, he was assigned to the X-Files office, after the disappearance of Mulder. The introduction of Doggett was met with mostly positive reaction by critics, while getting more mixed response from longtime fans of the series. Character Arc: Doggett served in the United States Marine Corps in the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit from 1977 to 1983. His final rank was Sergeant (E-5). While serving in the military, he became good friends with fellow Marine Knowle Rohrer. From 1982 to 1983, Doggett played a role in the Multi-National Peacekeeping Force in Lebanon. He served during the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings. Doggett retired from the U.S. Marine Corps with commendations after being wounded in the line of duty. After gaining a Juris Doctor and a Master's degree in Public Administration from Syracuse University, Doggett went on to work for the New York Police Department from 1987 to 1995, eventually becoming a detective in the Fugitive Division's Warrant section. While he was working for the NYPD, his son, Luke Doggett (played in flashbacks by Jake Fritz), was abducted and murdered. Doggett teamed up with Special Agent Monica Reyes, who was working out of the New York FBI field office at the time, to search for his son's killer. After his son's death, Doggett's marriage to Barbara Doggett (played by Patrick's real-life wife Barbara) ended in divorce.

In 1995, Doggett graduated from the FBI Academy and assumed the position of FBI Special Agent in the Criminal Investigations Division. In 2000, Agent Doggett was assigned by Deputy Director Alvin Kersh to head up the manhunt to find Special Agent Fox Mulder. The manhunt was unsuccessful and Doggett was demoted to work on the X-Files with Special Agent Dana Scully. During this time, Doggett and Kersh developed a bitter enmity, similar to the early relationship between Mulder and Walter Skinner.

Initially, Scully and Doggett were not very trusting of each other. After years of investigating several X-Files cases with Mulder, Scully had slowly grown to believe in the existence of the paranormal. Doggett, however, is a no-nonsense agent, who frequently utilizes his down-to-earth sensibilities he learned as a Marine and a cop. Doggett therefore functioned as "the skeptic", while Scully somewhat served in Mulder's old position of "the believer". Gradually, Doggett and Scully came to trust one another to some degree, although he and Mulder, who later returned and recovered from his abduction, remained untrusting of each other for some time. Doggett and his new partner, Reyes, took charge of the X-Files after Mulder was fired from the FBI and Scully left active duty to teach at the FBI Academy and to care for her son, Baby William. In the series finale, Doggett testified on Mulder's behalf when Mulder was charged with murder. Later, he and Reyes narrowly escaped from Knowle Rohrer, who Doggett had discovered about a year prior was working for the conspiracy. At the end of the series, Doggett is likely a regular agent, as it appears that Kersh was forced to close down the X-Files division.

Doggett does not appear, nor is he mentioned, in the 2008 X-Files feature film. He similarly does not appear or is mentioned in the 2016 television revival of The X-Files.
