Pendrell
From X-Files Wiki
Pendrell (played by Brendan Beiser) was a Special Agent at the FBI strongly attracted to Agent Scully. Pendrell is one of the FBI's 'tech heads' and helps the agents with technological and scientific information pertaining to their cases. In this function, his role is similar to that of the Lone Gunmen, as becomes clear in Season 3's Wetwired (Pendrell is only alluded to by name in this episode.)
In 1997, Pendrell is shot in the chest and dies shortly after in a Washington Hospital, after he has run into Scully at a bar frequented by FBI agents. Scully was accompanied by a key witness to the investigation of the downing of flight 549, who was targeted by a Syndicate agent. As the assassin turns his gun on Corporal Frish, Pendrell gets in the line of fire, returning to Scully's table with drinks to celebrate her birthday.
Pendrell's attraction to Scully is referred to from the beginning, though it appeared unrequitted during the entire series. However, Sharon Graffia refers to Pendrell as being 'someone close' to Scully.

[edit] Background Information
- Pendrell's first name was never revealed, which Scully sadly realized after his death.
- The Inkworks Season 4/5 trading card set incorrectly names Agent Pendrell as "Danny." They may have associated him with the Danny whom Mulder frequently mentions. However, Danny is also mentioned after Pendrell's death.
