Sean Harris, better known as Bernie Harris, was a nineteen year old petty thief from Splott.
Biography
Bernie was born in July 1988. Bernie got thrown out of his house and bought a flat on Evelyn Street. He got his nickname Bernie at the age of twelve when he burned down his neighbour's shed with cigarettes. Bernie was unpopular in his neighbourhood. Even his own mum wouldn't allow him home until he gave her the fifty pounds he owed her.
At some point Bernie stole a quantum transducer. He thought about selling it at Antiques Roadshow. With it he saw a woman placing her dead baby into a waterway. He visited her and she gave him money not to tell anyone. Using it again, he saw the murder of Lizzie Lewis and tried to blackmail Ed Morgan, her killer. Morgan refused to give him anything.
Bernie used the other part of the transducer only once. He saw himself dead on the road outside his house, still young and covered in blood. He decided never to use that half again.
In 2007, Torchwood Three detected the transducer and sent Gwen Cooper, Owen Harper and Jack Harkness to capture Bernie. Gwen managed to snatch his hoodie from him, but Bernie escaped. While passing through Splott at a later date, Owen saw Bernie and pursued him. After a long chase through the gardens of several residents, Owen caught him.
They went to a pub together and Bernie told Owen and the rest of the Torchwood team how he had come to own the piece. To stop them leaving, he told them he had the second half. They went to Bernie's flat and he gave them the second piece. They also took a tin he had stolen from the same man, containing alien money and rocks.
Bernie told Gwen about having seen his death and she told Jack. To boost his confidence, Gwen visited him again and told him it was only one of many possible futures. Bernie went outside after this to confront Morgan, who was threatening to kill him. Scared, Bernie told him he would keep his secret and the Torchwood team managed to disarm Morgan, saving Bernie's life. (TW: Ghost Machine)
