The Well-Manicured Man prefers subtlety to brute force, and will attempt to manipulate those in his way before using physical violence.
In the 1998 feature film The X-Files, when Scully is infected with the black oil and taken to Antarctica, it is the Well-Manicured Man who, having grown disillusioned with the Syndicate, gives Mulder the coordinates needed to find her and a sample of the vaccine needed to cure Scully.
