Brian Green was the British Prime Minister during the 456 incident.
Biography
He succeeded Aubrey Fairchild in 2009 and was still the PM at the time of the 456 Incident. He had a meeting with John Frobisher and left control of the 456 Crisis to Frobisher so Green could deny if anything went wrong. (TW: Children of Earth: Day One)
The next day, he met with Frobisher to discuss the crisis and made it clear to Frobisher that he would be blamed if the crisis went wrong. Afterwards he went to look at the Gas Tank being made for the 456 on Floor 13 of the MI5 building. The tank was built so the 456 could breathe when they visited the next day. (TW: Children of Earth: Day Two)
Green made an address to the nation, promising calm and stability the next morning. Green did not have a high profile on Day Three. Only being seen observing the 456 landing at Thames House from his office in Downing Street. He witnessed the negotiation between Frobisher and the 456. Green was reprimanded by General Pierce of the American military for attempting to cover up the British government's prior involvement with the 456. (TW: Children of Earth: Day Three)
On Day Four, Green held a meeting of COBRA to discuss how to meet the 456's demands of 10% of Britain's children, Green made a decision to exempt any COBRA members children and grandchildren, including his own. After hearing ideas from COBRA, he agreed with Denise Riley's plan to select the bottom 10% of children in the school league tables; Green had John Frobisher arrange transport for this, however the meeting was spied on by Lois Habiba. (TW: Children of Earth: Day Four)
On the Day he agreed to give the children to the 456, Green had full control of the crisis taken from him and given to General Pierce who over saw the taking of the 10% of the children. During the day, he had John Frobisher do a media stunt to encourage the cover story for the taking of the children; innoculations. However, Green later told Frobisher that his children would be taken and given to the 456 for deniability so that the government would be seen to have suffered. As Green later found out, Frobisher killed himself and his family to spare them this fate. At the end of the day, Green was having a meeting in the Cabinet room with Denise Riley and Frobisher's PA, Bridget Spears. Green commented on how the situation turned out "lucky" for him; Spears however blackmailed Green she told him she used the Torchwood contact lenses to record the day's events in the Cabinet room; including Green's comment about being lucky. Green threatened to have Spears arrested but Riley let Spears go and implied that she would be taking over from him (possibly behind the scenes). (TW: Children of Earth: Day Five)
Shortly after the crisis, Green was still Prime Minister. (IDW: Don't Step on the Grass)
