Fan Casting Reasonable Authority Figure

Role added by user_53973 on August 17, 2022

Description of Reasonable Authority Figure:

Fully aware that Machiavelli Was Wrong, they'll listen to those "crazy kids" when they say there's a fugitive nearby, and logically consider their arguments instead of dismissing them outright. However, their openness to the heroes' ideas doesn't mean they'll follow Agent Mulder's crazy ideas blindly. Often, they'll ask for proof and facts rather than follow baseless accusations, but even then, they'll usually humor the heroes and go check out their theories; whether it pans out or turns into a dead end depends on how far along the story is.
