History
Gwen Cooper is a former police officer. She is also Welsh. Very Welsh. Oh, and she's a member of a top secret organisation called Torchwood, led by the immortal Captain Jack Harkness, which was set up by Queen Victoria in order to deal with alien threats, most notably that which the Queen believed was posed by the annoying and impudent Time Lord known as The Doctor.
Gwen, not being noticeably elderly, was not around for Torchwood's founding. She has, however, been around long enough to see it totally destroyed and then revived again at least twice. Her husband Rhys doesn't much like her being in Torchwood, but being Welsh, Gwen is exceptionally bloody-minded... er, I mean 'stubborn'... so he doesn't really get a vote.
