The bounty hunters have green blood that contains a retrovirus which, when exposed to humans, is lethal. Although all Colonist aliens are shape-shifters, the Alien Bounty Hunters readily take the shape of humans and are tasked with policing their plans and tracking down and eliminating any threats. The Bounty Hunters are a distinct group from the Colonist aliens. Īlien factions Alien Bounty Hunters Character arc Alien Bounty Hunter The Colonists pretended that mass infection of humanity by the black oil would make them a controlled slave race, but in reality the oil would give birth to new alien beings within the human hosts resulting in re-population rather than recolonization. The human conspirators would attempt to develop a vaccine for the alien virus in an effort to save all of humanity.

In exchange for the Syndicate's cooperation, the Colonists handed over alien embryos as a source of genetic material for the hybrid experiments, as well as allowing limited military use of their technology and resources (such as the Alien Bounty Hunters), and promising that the heirs of the Syndicate members, who were turned over to the Colonists as an act of good faith, would survive the takeover. These hybrids, if successful, would serve as a slave race for the Colonists - the Syndicate and other chosen humans would receive the hybrid genes and be spared.

The date for recolonization was firmly established in 2012 so that both sides could work on creating an alien-human hybrid before the arrival of the Colonist fleet. In 1973, an alliance was created and an agreement was reached that a small group of humans would be allowed by the Colonists to survive by becoming alien-human hybrids. As such, humanity was spared immediate invasion, and The Syndicate began negotiations with the Colonists. The Syndicate threatened to use nuclear weapons to render the Earth uninhabitable to the Colonists due to extreme cold. These men eventually formed the Syndicate they included the Well-Manicured Man ( John Neville), The Smoking Man, and Bill Mulder ( Peter Donat), among others. Shortly after this event, a select few power brokers, mainly in the United States and the Soviet Union (though some also came from other nations), first learned of the Colonist plot to retake the planet. The Colonists eventually returned to Earth in 1947 when one of their ships crashed in New Mexico due to exposure to magnetite in the surrounding rocks. Davis) later remarks to Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny) that the ancient Mayans were so terrified that they stopped their calendar on the exact date of colonization: December 22, 2012. Purportedly, the Colonists planned on returning to Earth in the year 2012, as The Smoking Man ( William B. While away from Earth, the Colonists evidently sought out life throughout the universe in an effort to subdue other species and take over the universe. The virus apparently contains the aliens' genetic blueprints, awaiting reconstitution when the master species returns to Earth. Upon their departure, they left behind underground deposits of the black oil virus, in preparation for their return. The aliens were forced to abandon the planet during the last ice age as their viral form is deactivated by extreme cold. The immature form resembles that of a reptilian extraterrestrial and is referred to as the "long-clawed" form.

This outer skin is eventually shed when the alien develops into its mature form. This immature form is a protective stage, able to viciously defend itself from birth. In their immature stage, they are more yellowish colored, tall, and very aggressive, possessing fangs, claws and scale-like texture of their skin. They highly resemble the well-known " grey aliens" in their mature form.
