One of his first assignments was helping [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood Cardiff]] with the [[Centurian Incident]] on [[31 December]] 1899 and its clean-up. He grew attached to the city and was an early supporter of [[Cardiff rift|the Rift]] Theory, whose other supporters included Captain [[Jack Harkness]]. On his return to [[London]], he lobbied for a transfer to [[Cardiff]] but it wouldn't be until [[1907]], when a schism occurred at Torchwood Cardiff, that he would get his wish granted. The disharmony that transpired resulted in the controversial appointment of Kneale as the new leader of Torchwood Three. The fear was unfounded; under his command, the team made great strides.
