(feature)"], The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (novelisation)"]) in 1972. (PROSE: British Rocket Group [+]Loading...["British Rocket Group (tie-in website)"]) He studied at Swansea University, graduating with a Masters in Areology.
From 1998 to 2001, he worked at NASA. He was invited to join the British Rocket Group the same year.
Also in 2001, Llewellyn's daughter, Sian, was born.
As part of the British Rocket Group, Llewellyn established the Guinevere One project in 2003, which commenced work on 1 August that year.
In 2005, Llewellyn appeared on The Sky At Night, where he explained the reasoning for the name "Guinevere", stating that he was fascinated by the "old Arthurian legends". He remarked that the original Guinevere had it easy compared to the modern bureaucracy he had to deal with. (PROSE: What Will Guinevere Find on Mars? [+]Loading...["What Will Guinevere Find on Mars?

During the general election in 2006, Llewellyn voted for Harriet Jones. (PROSE: The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (novelisation)"])
He was unaware of the existence of alien life. Following the Sycorax hijack of the Guinevere One probe on 24 December 2006, Llewellyn was called to the UNIT base in the Tower of London. After meeting Prime Minister Harriet Jones, Llewellyn was left shaken upon learning that alien life does exist and that the British government were aware of this.
A message was sent to Earth from the Sycorax, where they claimed planet Earth as their own. Using A-positive blood stored on the Guinevere One probe, the Sycorax used blood control in an attempt to scare humanity into submission. Llewellyn felt immense guilt as a result.
When Llewellyn, Harriet Jones, Major Blake, and Alex Klein were teleported aboard the Sycorax spaceship, (TV: The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (TV story)"]) the Fire Trap, (PROSE: The Visual Dictionary [+]Loading...{"page":"82","1":"The Visual Dictionary (2010 reference book)"}) Llewellyn attempted to reason with the Sycorax leader, begging him to show compassion. However, the Sycorax leader murdered him with his death whip, disregarding his plea. (TV: The Christmas Invasion [+]Loading...["The Christmas Invasion (TV story)"])
