"If that's the lovely Agent Scully, tell her I've been working out. I'm buff."
- Melvin Frohike (Blood)

Melvin Frohike

Short, unshaven, and clad in combat boots, Melvin Frohike is the Frog Prince of the Lone Gunmen editorial board. Next to Langly and Byers, he looks like the proverbial dirty old man. From his first leering appearance in "E.B.E." (1x16), he has made no secret of his attraction to Agent Scully. He once loaned Mulder a pair of night-vision goggles only after extracting Scully's phone number. Yet he has shown a tender side as well, being the only person to bring Scully flowers when she lay dying in "One Breath" (2X08).

Frohike is the photographic and surveillance specialist in the group and he formerly made money selling illegal cable descramblers under the Frohike Electronics Corporation name. In many of the Gunmen's sting operations, he has been known to ironically single out those suspects being observed as "men of distinction." The possessor of small quips such as "She's tasty," Frohike becomes more loquacious only when Mulder teases him. He succinctly summarized the atmosphere of suspicion and paranoia in Mulder's apartment during "Anasazi" (2X25) with one bon mot: "weirdness."
