Personnel File
Macfie was part of an experiment conducted by Herbert Whyte, the then Director of Torchwood London, in 1905. (See The Ace of Swords). She worked beside him until his death in 1915.

Prior to her promotion as Director, MacFie spent five years at Torchwood Four. It is unknown whether she was working in the facility, or an inmate. Before her posting at the facility, she had been prone to sudden violence, cruel acts and an odd coldness that could not be explained. When she emerged from Four, she was quieter, approachable and calm. She rarely displayed the utter disregard for life again.

During the events of Hidden Depths, it became known that she had been an inmate at Torchwood Four, and that her rehabilitation had relied greatly on the intervention of John Smith, an enigmatic man who directly shaped her ability to deal with the effects of the artifact she bore.

MacFie served as Director from 1915 until her retirement in 1997. In 1997, an event closed Torchwood Ten. It's doors were locked, and the surviving personnel were immediately sent elsewhere. Derowen chose to stay in Tintagel, where she bought a small cottage close to the sea.

She remained in Tintagel, venturing away rarely, for ten years. During this time, she met Punkin Thomas, a local woman. The two co-habitated for a number of years.

Then it all changed again, in the shape of a man wearing an army greatcoat. Jack Harkness showed up on her doorstep and convinced her to journey with him to Cardiff. When she returned, it was to pack a bag and head to London. Punkin Thomas remained in Tintagel.

This was 2007, and Torchwood was in dire shape. The events of Canary Wharf had crippled the insitute. MacFie had returned to open the doors of Torchwood Ten.

Personality
'Prior to seclusion in Torchwoood Four'

Derowen shows a remarkable lack of concern for injuries, either her own or anyone whom she knows. She is prone to sudden extreme acts of violence. Though it should be noted that the targets are always criminals, or aliens who are threats to the security of the British Empire. She is extremely adept at this.

'After seclusion in Torchwood Four'

The woman who emerged from Four is a very different one. Derowen now had deep affection and caring for her team. She will throw herself into danger in order to save them whenever she can. Her temper is still a bit iffy on occasion, but she works through it by ripping boxing bags to shreds. She had a quick wit and an easy smile.

Wen prefers to remain close to the members of her team. They have become her family in more ways than she can ever explain.
