Marita Covarrubias is a fictional character on the television series The X-Files. Played by actress Laurie Holden, Marita first appears as Agent Fox Mulder's third informant in the 1996 season four premiere "Herrenvolk".
Marita becomes an informant to Mulder after the death of his former source, X. Assistant to one of the Special Representatives of the UN Secretary General, she is a mysterious character with little known background, though it is known Cigarette Smoking Man was her direct superior. She lived for a time in New York City, and later moved to Annapolis, Maryland. In later episodes her partnership and relationship with co-conspirator Alex Krycek becomes apparent, a hotly contested relationship among fans[citation needed].
During the fifth season, The Syndicate discovered that Marita had betrayed them, and was providing information to Mulder. As a result, she was used as a guinea pig for the vaccination that The Syndicate had been developing to fight the black oil. The tests, having been conducted on Marita for about a year, disfigured her. Later in season 7, she returns, having been restored to normal, presumably in exchange for helping the Cigarette Smoking Man. However, she returns again at the end of the seventh season to help Alex Krycek attempt to murder the Cigarette Smoking Man. They do this by pushing him and his wheelchair down a flight of stairs.
In the series finale, she is called as a witness to testify on Mulder's behalf during his murder trial. However, Mulder soon pushed for her to be dismissed from the witness chair, fearing that if Marita was to divulge certain information, she would be killed because of it.
