One of his earliest assignments was helping [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood Cardiff]] with the [[Centurian Incident]] on [[31st December]] 1899 and its subsequent clean-up. During this time, he both grew attached to the city and became an early supporter of [[Cardiff rift|the Rift]] Theory, whose other supporters included Captain [[Jack Harkness]]. Upon his return to [[London]] he began lobbying 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. However, the fear was unfounded as under his command, the team made great strides. | One of his earliest assignments was helping [[Torchwood Three|Torchwood Cardiff]] with the [[Centurian Incident]] on [[31st December]] 1899 and its subsequent clean-up.
