History:
Owen was born on Valentine's day in 1980. His mother and him were never very close (the nicest thing she ever did for him was pack his lunch one day, and she didn't particularly like her son much). Not much is known about his father. By his early twenties, Owen had made himself a nice little career as a doctor, and was engaged to the love of his pre-Torchwood life, Katie Russell. Unfortunately, Katie had what doctors considered to be early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Owen attempted everything to help Katie, believing the other doctors to basically be wrong, as she was insanely young to have Alzheimer's; after countless tests, a brain scan seemed to indicate that she had a brain tumor.

During what was supposed to be a relatively normal surgery, however, that brain tumor was revealed to be an alien parasite. At this moment, Jack Harkness appeared, rushing in to try and save the day - unfortunately for Jack and Owen, the parasite killed the surgical team and Katie once it had been revealed. After trying to deal with the death of his fiancé, Owen was approached by Jack for the second time; this time, Jack came with an offer for him to join Torchwood.

After joining Torchwood, Owen led the classic one-man-wolfpack life of sex, booze and being a medic in a secret government agency. Owen seemed to get along pretty well with the female members of the crew - meaning, he had an affair with Suzie, later Gwen, and Toshiko always had a thing for him. He spent the first part of his life with Torchwood flirting with women, patching up his workmates whenever they got themselves shot or otherwise hurt, and making disparaging remarks whenever he felt like it.

Then came Diane Holmes, a woman who came through the Rift from the 1950's. Owen and Diane became involved during the short time she was in Cardiff; this was probably the first serious relationship Owen had been in since Katie. However, Diane left, unable to stay in one place for long, flying off in hopes of finding an opening in the Rift. Owen was left devastated. He spent most of his time sulking, getting into fights, and eventually his anger and remorse led him to a "Fight Club" styled underground group, where he was put into a cage with a Weevil. Instead of letting out his aggression on the alien, he simply stared it down, without fear. After that, it seemed as though Owen had come back to himself a bit, though he would swear off one-night stands. (Theoretically.) However, when Bilis Manger and Abaddon used the image of Diane in an attempt to convince Owen to open the Rift, he immediately went for it. His mutiny against Jack culminated in the rest of the team siding with him; when Jack tried to regain control, Owen shot him. Of course, that only delayed Jack from gaining control again, once the Rift was open. He was summarily fired from his post. (It didn't last long.)
