Richard Langly

Background/History: Langly was born circa 1968/1969 and grew up on a farm in Saltville, Nebraska. He showed an aptitude for computers from an early age, which was frowned upon by his parents.

In 1989 he met Melvin Frohike and John Fitzgerald Byers at a consumer electronics show in Baltimore, and subsequently they formed a group publishing The Lone Gunman Newsletter.

Personality/Motivation: He is possibly the most paranoid of the Gunmen, taping all incoming phone calls, including those from Mulder, and on one occasion refusing to take part in a teleconference with Mulder, stating that he did not want his image bounced off a satellite. He is also the most sarcastic member of the team, always ready to offer a barbed comment.

Langly enjoyed playing Dungeons and Dragons before the formation of the group; his alias is "Lord Manhammer". He once hacked into MarylandÕs MVA mainframe in order to secure a handicapped parking permit.

Powers/Tactics: He is the Lone GunmenÕs expert in computers, hacking and programming.

Campaign Use: Lone Gunmen TV series. First appearance "E.B.E."

Appearance: Langly wears thick black-rimmed glasses, heavy metal and punk T-shirts (favouring The Ramones in particular) and jeans. He has long, blond hair (which sometimes leads to him being mistaken for a girl) and bears a striking resemblance to Garth Algar from Wayne's World.
