Once upon a time, there was a battle that raged on for exactly one year. The Toclafane were lead by an insane newly regenerated alien genius with an ego almost as ostentatious as his self proclaimed title. He called himself the Master and he plunged the Earth into chaos to the beat of catchy pop songs. The inhabitants of our little blue planet were either enslaved or in hiding. Though there was hope. There was the legend of the Doctor, an alien come to save them all, who sent out his faithful servant Martha with the secret to bring down the beast. She traveled world and shared her hope with millions but after a very long year she had to come home. The first person to greet her when her boat came ashore was Tom.

Before the Master's reign, Dr. Thomas Milligan was a pediatrician. He wasn't extraordinary though he was smart. Raised in Congleton by his father and grandmother, they lived paycheck to paycheck but his childhood had been a good one. He didn't have every luxury but he had plenty of love. The abundance of affection Tom had in his home life couldn't help but overflow to those around him. He especially loved kids because of how open they were to laugh. While still in secondary school, he helped coach football (soccer) for the pee wee team. It was tending the injures on the field that sparked his interest in medicine. Before he even applied to his first university he knew he wanted to go into pediatrics.

When the Master ordered the Toclafane to destroy 10% of the Earth's population, the children's hospital where Tom worked was one of the first hit. The losses were devastating. The laughter left of Dr. Milliagan as he made it his own personal quest to take down Prime Minister Saxon no matter what it took. He volunteered to work as a physician for Saxon's camps so that he could be granted access to more locations and help build the resistance. When he heard of Martha Jone's return, Tom practically begged to be the one to meet her. With so many stories, he wanted see for himself what was true. She surpassed every one of his hopes. Suddenly, the world didn't look so bleak and he honestly thought that there may be an end to the reign of terror. But there wouldn't be a happy ending for him. In a moment of heroic desperation, Tom fired on the Master to save Martha's life. His life was take instead.

Of course none of this really happened. When the world came together and brought back the Doctor, he was able to destroy the paradox machine and time was resent so that the year of the Master never took place. In fact, it wasn't until he received a very odd phone call from a very peculiar woman, that he even suspected something might not be right. With a little digging, he was able to turn up the name the Doctor. It meant nothing but there was something about that name that stayed with him. Through a somewhat unreliable contact, he was told about an organization called Torchwood but there was virtually no information that he could find. It was as though it didn't exist. The only useful bit of information he received was Cardiff.

Weeks passed and he did nothing. It was all so cloak and dagger and Tom had a responsibility to the hospital. He couldn't just go gallivanting off to to Wales chasing a company that didn't exist searching for a man without a name. But everyday he would wonder until finally he requested some time off and hopped a train to Cardiff. Funny that the first person he should meet would be none other than Miss Martha Jones.
