'''Angelo Colasanto''' was an [[Italy|Italian]] man who immigrated to the [[United States of America|United States]] in [[1927]]. Since [[birth]], he had a bloodshot right eye. He was also one of [[Jack Harkness]]' many lovers, but was considered by Jack to be his companion (in homage to [[the Doctor]]) after revealing much of his mysterious past to him. But circumstances separated them. He eventually married a woman, whom he loved dearly, but retained lingering feelings for Jack, taking photos of him throughout the [[20th century]].

'''Angelo Colasanto''' was a man who went to [[New York]] through [[Ellis Island]] in [[1927]]. Once at Ellis Island, he tried to steal [[Jack Harkness]]' visa. Jack managed to catch him before he left, and he was locked up to be deported. Jack visited Angelo in his cell, and used his [[vortex manipulator|Time Agency wrist strap]] to change the name on his visa to Angelo's, stopping him from being deported back to [[Italy]]. Jack and Angelo then rented a room together, where the two had [[sex]].

They then decided to make money by selling [[sacramental wine]], as [[alcohol]] was illegal in [[America]] at the time due to [[prohibition]]. Almost immediately after they obtained the alcohol, however, they were kidnapped. Instead of being killed, however, Jack was able to convince their kidnappers to allow them to work for them, and were asked to move a box from one warehouse to another warehouse. Jack packed Angelo's bags for him and told him to run away. Angelo didn't want to leave Jack, so Jack decided to make him his [[companion]]. When they arrived at the warehouse, Jack opened the box despite the fact that they were ordered not to do so. Jack revealed that the contents of the box was a [[brain parasite]] that the [[Trickster's Brigade]] were planning to use on future [[President]] [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt|Roosevelt]], and that Jack was on a mission from [[Torchwood Institute|Torchwood]] to destroy it.
