Lisa Hallett was an employee at Torchwood Tower in London at the time of the Battle of Canary Wharf. She was partially upgraded by the Cybermen and was hidden in the Basement of Torchwood 3 by Ianto Jones.

Profile

Torchwood One

Like many other Torchwood staff, Lisa was taken to be upgraded into a Cyberman. However, the Cyber-conversion process was not completed, leaving her mostly human, but with numerous cybernetic implants. Her boyfriend and fellow Torchwood employee, Ianto Jones, helped her escape the ruins of Torchwood One and transported her to Cardiff. (TW: Cyberwoman) There, he successfully talked Jack Harkness into hiring him at Torchwood Three. (TW: Fragments) Taking advantage of Torchwood's cavernous Hub headquarters in Cardiff Bay, Jones found a remote room where he kept Lisa while he surreptitiously worked to find a way to restore her full humanity. (TW: Cyberwoman)

As a Cyberwoman

Dr. Tanizaki, a cybernetics expert, was brought in by Ianto to attempt to help remove the Cyber-implants, but Hallett killed him and indicated to Ianto that her desire was to become superior, just like the Cybermen. Ultimately, she escaped her chamber in the Hub and Jack and the others learned of her existence. She killed a Jubilee Pizza delivery girl and transplanted her own brain into the girl's body in a last-ditch attempt at balancing humanity with Cyber-perfection. Soon after, she was killed by the other Torchwood Three personnel. (TW: Cyberwoman)

Post-Mortem Encounters

Lisa reappeared as a "spirit" which urged Ianto to open the Rift. Though, in truth this was merely an illusion projected to Ianto by Bilis Manger. (TW: End of Days) Later, Ianto had to endure another impersonation of Lisa during the incident at CERN in Switzerland. (BBCR: Lost Souls)

Abilities

Lisa was able to electrocute people with her hands and used a Wrist-Mounted Blaster, much like a fully converted Cyberman. She was also stronger than a normal human being.

Behind the Scenes

  • In Torchwood Magazine, it is suggested in an interview with Gareth David-Lloyd that Lisa is the reason why Ianto Jones wears suits rather than casual clothes as he once did the first time he met Jack. David-Lloyd states that Ianto wears his suits as a way of masking his true personalities, and his intentions to find a cure for Lisa. However, once the death of Lisa comes about, David-Lloyd explains that Ianto becomes much more comfortable in both his suits, and in his team.
  • Character Group released a Lisa Hallett figure as part of their line of Torchwood action figures.
