As a child, Eugene was on the school maths team. In 1992, after a poor performance in a quiz, he was shunned by his classmates. His teacher gave him a Dogon sixth eye. Upon returning home, Shaun had a row with Bronwen. That night, his father left and never returned. Eugene decided everything was all right so long as he had the eye. He theorised that the alien would have to return for the eye and so he waited. (TV: Random Shoes)
Later life
Eugene became interested in UFOs. He tried to show his findings to Torchwood, in particular Gwen Cooper, but he was dismissed. Eugene worked at Passmore Telesales with his friend Gary. He regularly visited a café for his lunch and frequently rented DVDs from a store where his friend Josh worked.
Eugene believed that his dad had gone to America after his failure as a child. However, when he was 28, he found out his dad was living a short way away in a garage. Unable to comprehend his father's failure, Eugene decided to sell the eye. Gary began boosting the bid and it sold for £15,005.50 in total. Eugene went to the Happy Cook café to make the transfer.
Eugene discovered that Gary and Josh were the buyers. They tried to take the eye from him and he swallowed it. Running from them, he was hit by a car. The eye shifted his consciousness from his body and he existed halfway between life and death. (TV: Random Shoes)
