Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Eliza and her colleague Robert Lewis had been working for the Torchwood Institute for almost a decade by the late 1890s.
In 1889, Eliza and Robert traced the chronal signature left by the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS. The signature was notably the same as detected in 1983 at Krakatoa and during the Gabriel Chase affair in Perivale. They worked out that the TARDIS had been dragged away by horse and cart and deduced that it meant the machine wasn't currently operational and the Doctor was stranded in London. It wasn't long before they encountered the Doctor, H. G. Wells and Jonathan Smith, and gave chase ordering them to stop in the name of the Torchwood Institute. The pair captured H. G. Wells and took him back to their base of operations at the West India Docks for interrogation.
In order to buy himself more time H. G. Wells pretended to assist Torchwood in capturing the Doctor. He took them to the site of the TARDIS, but the Doctor instead made it so that they would capture Jonathan instead (who he had discovered was in fact a member of the Supreme Alliance from the 51st century intent on revenge for the death of Magnus Greel). Believing him to be the Doctor, Torchwood took Jonathan hostage and thanked H. G. Wells for his service. (COMIC: The Time Machination)
In 1906, Eliza and Robert went through a time machine. They were transported to a different planet thousands of years in the future. There they encountered the Doctor. They tried to arrest him. Eliza however, soon realised that they needed the Doctor to return home. She was ready to trust him, having seen his heroics in their files and heard Jack Harkness speak about him.
Eliza decided to stay on the planet and help its inhabitants rebuild their world. (COMIC: Final Sacrifice)
