 In [[1918]], Torchwood Three, under the command of [[Gerald Kneale]], already had access to sophisticated [[cryogenic]] suspension technology. Kneale and another operative, [[Harriet Derbyshire]], investigated supposed hauntings (in fact [[time shift]]s from the future) at [[St Teilo's Hospital]]. Following instructions from Torchwood from the future, they took shellshocked soldier [[Tommy Brockless]] away from the hospital and put him in cryogenic suspension. Tommy was awoken annually for a single day to check his health.
-In [[1919]], Harriet was killed in action. ([[TV]]: ''[[To the Last Man (TV story)|To the Last Man]]'') Kneale held himself responsible her death and stepped down as Torchwood leader. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Rift War! (comic story)|Rift War!]]'')

 In [[1941]], Torchwood Three was led by [[Tilda Brennan]]. She heavily distrusted Jack who was still serving as a freelance agent. In August, Jack brought an alien child, “A. Neil”, to the Hub and then took a few days off. During this time Tilda was manipulated by [[Bilis Manger]], exploiting her hatred of Harkness, into following the instructions in File TW3/87/BM . She vivisected "A. Neil", overpowering the rest of the team when they objected. When he returned Jack confronted her in the Vaults and she held a gun to the head of teammate [[Greg Bishop]], who was Jack’s lover. [[The Light (The Twilight Streets)|The Light]] briefly possessed her, enabling Jack to shoot her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Twilight Streets (novel)|The Twilight Streets]]'')

-On [[31 December|New Year's Eve]] [[1999]], Alex was approached by the [[Little girl (Dead Man Walking)|little girl]] in [[Newport]] after hunting an alien.

 [[UNIT]] medical officer Dr [[Martha Jones]] came in briefly at Jack’s request in order to provide support during an investigation of a series of unusual murders, which they connected to experiments with [[Reset]] at [[the Pharm]]. Owen died after being shot by the [[Aaron Copley|Pharm’s Director]] during the shut down of the organisation. ([[TV]]: ''[[Reset (TV story)|Reset]]'') He was resurrected but without signs of life via a second Resurrection gauntlet, which Jack had assumed would be temporary. This led to a personification of [[Death (Dead Man Walking)|Death]] manifesting through Owen, which he eventually defeated. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dead Man Walking (TV story)|Dead Man Walking]]'') This lead to Dr Jones staying with Torchwood somewhat longer than anticipated whilst Owen recovered from his undeath. Owen returned to duty as the only one who could infiltrate alien collector [[Henry Parker|Henry Parker’s]] residence, due to him being undead and expelling no heat, to investigate a mysterious energy surge. It transpired the energy surge was simply a harmless alien artefact which was delivering a message. Content Owen was ready to return to work, Martha departed.

-The Rift started returning more and more humans who had previously been taken away in negative rift spikes. In the words of Jack Harkness, "it is almost as if the rift is trying to correct its mistakes". Victims continued to be transferred to the Flat Holm facility. During this period, Gwen discovered the facility’s existence when searching for a missing boy who it turned out had been taken and then retuned, decades older, by the Rift.

+After the Rift started returning more and more humans who had previously been taken away in negative rift spikes, Jack arranged for the victims to continue to be transferred to the Flat Holm facility without telling the rest of the team. With the help of Tosh and discrete tip-off from Ianto, Gwen discovered the facility’s existence whilst searching for a [[Jonah Bevan|missing boy]] who it turned out had been taken and then returned, decades older, by the Rift. Jack reluctantly let Gwen take the boy’s mother to meet him however she was horrified by the experience and told Gwen not to do it to anyone else. ([[TV]]: ''[[Adrift (TV story)|Adrift]]'')

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Hope (audio story)|The Hope]], [[The Three Monkeys (audio story)|The Three Monkeys]]'') [[Caite]], an alien of the [[Threshold (species)|Threshold]], became Andy’s girlfriend in an attempt to infiltrate Torchwood to let her people invade through the Rift and ingratiated herself with Owen using her abilities to drain life from other people to revive him briefly, however they pushed it too far and killed an old woman. Owen tried to use Torchwood’s resources to cover it up however Andy continued to be suspicious. Eventually Caite convinced Owen to let her connect her transport device to the Rift Manipulator so she could go back in time and prevent the death, however Owen realised what she was truly doing. Andy, who had followed them into the Hub, used her  device to send Caite away and ended his friendship with Owen.

 Torchwood Three lost two members of the team during [[Gray (Fragments)|Gray’s]] vengeful crusade against his brother, Jack. Owen was trapped in a room containing a nuclear meltdown, which decomposed his already dead body, and Tosh died of a shot to the stomach by Gray, who was attempting to stop her guiding Owen in containing the meltdown. Jack finally imprisoned Gray in cryogenic suspension in the Hub. ([[TV]]: ''[[Fragments (TV story)|Fragments]]'', ''[[Exit Wounds (TV story)|Exit Wounds]]'')
