The year that never was
note- U.N.I.T. (United Nations Intelligence Taskforce) has been neutralized by the Master- most of the resistance is coordinated through S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage, and Logistics Directorate) (Both are answerable to the the UN Security Council- U.N.I.T investigate and combat paranormal and extraterrestrial threats, while S.H.I.E.L.D. investigate and combat terrestrial threats. Because Colonel Nicholas Fury has total control of the running of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Master is unable to gain control of the organization. U.N.I.T.'s Zen division, run by General Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (post "Happy Endings") also remains free of the Master's influence, and coordinates with S.H.I.E.L.D. during the year that never was.)

Background information-


Torchwood
Captain Jack Harkness-
Is found and hired by Torchwood Three around 1899. Works as a freelance agent throughout the 20th century. Becomes leader of Torchwood Three on January 1, 2000. He cuts all ties to Torchwood One and recreates Torchwood Three (with a little help from Nick Fury) so that it can run independently from the rest of the Torchwood offices.

Alex Hopkins- Leader of Torchwood Three before Jack.

Sgt. Fury/Nick Fury
Nicholas Fury
b.1918 Hell's Kitchen, New York
WWII- (Sections from the Nick Fury profile page.) Early in the war, separated from the Howlers during a mission in France, Fury was gravely injured by a land mine. Discovered by French partisans, Fury was taken to a nearby doctor, Professor Berthold Sternberg. Unknown to Fury, Sternberg not only treated Fury's injuries to a full recovery, but also surgically altered Fury so that Fury could withstand inoculation with Sterberg's so-called "Infinity Formula," intended to slow or even halt the human aging process. Fury returned to his unit a week later, unaware of Sternberg's experiment.

In 1943, Fury and Dugan rescued Pam Hawley. Fury later decided to propose marriage to Hawley, but she perished tragically during a London air raid, killed by the raid's final bomb as she was helping the wounded. Months later, when Fury was home on leave, his brother Jake, jealous of Nick's fame, was abducted. Nick freed Jake but was captured himself, and Jake helped the Howlers rescue Nick. Following these events, Jake enlisted in the Army; but he soon regretted his choice, and his resentment of Nick grew.

In April 1944, the Howling Commandos are sent on a mission to France to find a Captain Jack Harkness and bring him back, dead or alive.

S.H.I.E.L.D.
S.H.I.E.L.D. timeline in "A Touch of Smith and Jones"-
Originally created by Fury just after WWII, but he abandoned the project thinking that the US government wouldn't approve of such an organization. The project was picked up in the early 60's by the US government and put into operation in 1972 as Supreme Headquarters International Espionage Law-enforcement Division-- a counterterrorism and intelligence agency. After an internal power struggle, Fury dismantled S.H.I.E.L.D. and retired from public service in 1992 and moved to Nova Scotia, Canada. In 1995, Fury returned to service at the request of the United Nation and rebuilt S.H.I.E.L.D. (now called Strategic Hazard Intervention, Espionage Logistics Directorate) and placed it under the direction of the U.N. security council as a balance to U.N.I.T. (United Nation Intelligence Taskforce), which was often tied up with situations involving extraterrestrial incursions. Smaller and more mobile than the original version, the new version now has several active bases, regional offices, and safe houses across the world. Fury retains complete control over the new S.H.I.E.L.D..

Operating Headquarters- S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
Main Headquarters- S.H.I.E.L.D. Central in New York City.

Phil Coulson- Field agent. New S.H.I.E.L.D.
