In the 1980s, Mr Garret found a Dogon sixth eye while golfing. In 1992, he gave it to Eugene Jones as a consolation prize for a failure at a maths competition.

When Eugene was 28, he decided to sell his Dogon eye on eBay. His friends Gary and Josh bid on it to cheer him up. However they accidentally won. They planned to buy the eye and resell it at a higher price. When they tried to take the eye by force, Eugene swallowed it and ran away. Though he was later killed, the eye brought him back as a ghost-like being, allowing him to help Gwen Cooper investigate his death. He remained halfway between life and death even when the eye was removed from him. Torchwood Three retrieved the eye. (TV: Random Shoes)
