Geocache Description:

WELCOME TO THE X-FILES:

This is what I like to call a ‘Power Cluster’. This is not meant to be an easy run. The puzzles and the hides range from moderately hard to down right evil. Please keep in mind of our slithery friends and other hazards of nature. Make sure to have your accompaniment of TOTT’s. They will be needed. I hope you enjoy this run!


ALEX KRYCEK

Cache is not at the posted coordinates. To figure out where the cache is located, you must first solve the puzzle below. As always, enjoy.

Alex Krycek is a fictional character in the Fox science fiction television series The X-Files. Alex Krycek is played by Nicholas Lea. He is initially introduced in the second season as a partner for FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder in the absence of his previous partner, Dana Scully. As it progresses, Krycek grew to become one of the show's primary antagonists, appearing subsequently in every season. Krycek's machinations frequently pitted him against Mulder, with whom he shared a complicated relationship. He was variously seen as either a henchman or enemy of the show's primary antagonist, The Smoking Man, changing his allegiance when the situation suited him best.

Krycek is a Russian-American, the son of Cold War immigrants, who makes his first appearance in the season two episode "Sleepless", where Krycek, a young FBI Special Agent is assigned as a temporary investigation partner to Fox Mulder. Krycek proceeds to work with Mulder and attempts to gain his trust. However, it later becomes evident that Krycek is actually an undercover agent working for the Smoking Man.

Originally, the role of Krycek was offered to Callum Keith Rennie, who rejected it, but later made two guest appearances on the show. Krycek does not appear in the first season, but Nicholas Lea did have a small part in the Monster-of-the-Week episode, "Gender Bender". In the episode, he played a club goer named "Michael". When Lea appeared as Krycek, the producers felt that they could kill him off if the portraying actor didn't do a good enough job. Krycek, who was initially created by writer Howard Gordon to temporarily replace Scully as Mulder's partner for three episodes, eventually grew into a character that lasted eight seasons on the show.
