Consisting of Melvin Frohike, John Fitzgerald Byers and Richard Langly, the Lone Gunmen were the publishers of a magazine called "The Lone Gunman" (originally called "The Magic Bullet"). The trio originally took their name and the title of their publication from X who, in May 1989, said, "I heard it was a lone gunman", in reference to the Kennedy assassination. Although Frohike and Langly knew each other beforehand, it was not until this time that the trio first joined forces and also met FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder.

While separately attending the same convention, the three initially worked together, after Susanne Modeski asked Byers for help with finding her daughter. Byers then recruited Frohike and Langly in the search. Together, they discovered that they were being used by Modeski to uncover information of a government conspiracy. It was this event that led to their and Mulder's distrust of the government. (TXF: "Unusual Suspects")

After deciding to work together, they also remained close associates of Mulder and often provided him with information and technical assistance, after he discovered the X-files. (TXF: "Unusual Suspects, "E.B.E.", et al.)

In 2000, the trio reluctantly allowed Jimmy Bond to begin working with them, in exchange for him funding their endeavors, as he believed that they were "fighting the good fight". (TLG: "Bond, Jimmy Bond")

The Lone Gunmen died in 2002, sacrificing themselves to stop a bio-terrorist. They were subsequently buried at Arlington National Cemetary, where their coffins were visited by Jimmy Bond, Yves Adele Harlow, Monica Reyes, John Doggett, Dana Scully and Walter Skinner. (TXF: "Jump the Shark")

The Gunmen briefly reappeared several months later, as ghosts with whom Mulder seemed to be able to communicate. The trio appeared to him alone, at the side of a road on the Texas-New Mexico border at approximately 5:07 a.m., while Mulder was urinating, having stopped off on the way to New Mexico. Apparently, the apparitions of the Lone Gunmen tried to dissuade Mulder from proceeding to New Mexico with Scully and continuing to search for the truth of colonization once there, but Mulder ignored their warnings and continued on his way. (TXF: "The Truth")
