'''Jonah Bevan''' (born [[15 February]] [[1993]]) was a teenage boy who was "taken" by the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|Cardiff rift]].


'''Jonah Bevan''' was 'taken' by the [[Cardiff rift]] around [[2008]], when he was 15 years old. The rift took him to a "Burning Planet" in a solar system about to be destroyed. He was rescued, but was was stuck for 40 years before he was returned by the rift to Earth. During that time he had stared into the heart of a [[Dark Star]] and what he had seen had driven him mad, resulting in him screaming continuously for a period of 20 hours each day.  
One night, while Jonah was walking home from [[football]] practice, he was transported by the Rift to a burning [[planet (Adrift)|planet]] in a [[solar system (Adrift)|solar system]] about to be destroyed. Sustaining severe burns, he was pulled out of the flames by a [[man (Adrift)|man]] who took him to a [[rescue craft]]. At some point afterwards, Jonah looked into the heart of a [[dark star]], which drove him mad and caused him to scream continuously for twenty hours every day.


On Earth he had been missing for 7 months when [[Gwen Cooper|Gwen]] started to investigate after seeing footage of [[Jack Harkness]] travelling to the place Jonah disappeared.  
After forty years, the Rift returned Jonah to [[Earth]], where he was kept and cared at a [[Torchwood]] facility on [[Flat Holm]]. [[Gwen Cooper]] tracked Jonah down and visited him, and afterwards told Jonah's mother [[Nikki Bevan|Nikki]] and took her to him.


Eventually with [[Ianto Jones]]'s help Gwen found Jonah on a Torchwood facility on [[Flat Holm]], 40 years older and deformed by the heat. She told Jonah's mother, [[Nikki Bevan]], and took her to him. Nikki thought it was a sick joke until Jonah started saying things only he would know. Nikki hugged him but was told they should leave by a staff member. A few seconds later Jonah started screaming, which made Gwen and Nikki back away. His mother agreed to come visit him again, but wished that she had never learned his fate. ([[TW]]: [[Adrift]])

==Behind the scenes==
{{NameSort}}
There is belief among fans that the burning planet that Jonah was saved from was Gallifrey, the man who pulled him from the flames was in fact, the Doctor, and the destruction of the entire solar system was part of the Last Great Time War. As it was shown that Dalek Caan was able to break the time lock, it seems probable that the Rift is able to bypass it also. However, there is no evidence to support this theory. A possibility could be that since the Rift might have existed during the Time War, so it could bypass the Time Lock as it was already there, much like the drumbeats in the Master's head [[The End of Time]].

Jonah Bevan (born 15 February 1993) was a teenage boy who was "taken" by the Cardiff rift.

One night, while Jonah was walking home from football practice, he was transported by the Rift to a burning planet in a solar system about to be destroyed. Sustaining severe burns, he was pulled out of the flames by a man who took him to a rescue craft. At some point afterwards, Jonah looked into the heart of a dark star, which drove him mad and caused him to scream continuously for twenty hours every day.

After forty years, the Rift returned Jonah to Earth, where he was kept and cared at a Torchwood facility on Flat Holm. Gwen Cooper tracked Jonah down and visited him, and afterwards told Jonah's mother Nikki and took her to him.

Nikki thought it was a sick joke until Jonah started saying things only he would know. Nikki hugged him but was told they should leave by a staff member. Jonah started screaming, which made Gwen and Nikki back away. His mother agreed to come visit him again, but wished that she had never learned his fate. (TV: Adrift)
