Biography
Early life
As a child, Eugene was on the schools maths team. After a poor performance in a quiz, he was shunned by his classmates. His teacher gave him a Dogon eye. Eugene's father, Shaun had a row with his mother, Bronwen. That night his father left and never returned. Eugene decided everything was alright so long as he had the eye. He theorised that the alien would have to return for the eye, and so he waited. Eugene had a younger brother called Terry.
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 cafe 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. However, he found out he was living a short way away. Unable to comprehend his father's failure, he decided to see the eye. Gary began boosting the bid and it sold for £15'005.50 in total. Eugene went to a cafe to make the transfer.
Eugene discovered that Gary and Josh were the buyers. They tried to take the eye from him and so he swallowed it. Running from them he was hit by a car. The eye shifted his consciousness from his body and so he existed halfway between life and death.
He followed the Torchwood team from the scene of his death and accompanied Gwen in her investigation of his death. He had no memory of the days before his death but they gradually returned. Gwen had the eye removed from his corpse but still he remained halfway. After the funeral he witnessed his father return to his family. Gwen was also watching as a car sped towards her. Eugene pushed her out of the way, saving her life.
Suddenly he was visible to Gwen, Torchwood and the funeral-goers.. Gwen kissed him and he retrieved the eye she had dropped. With that he passed over, despite Gwen's pleas for him to stay. (TW: Random Shoes)
