Jonah Bevan


 * You may be looking for one of several other Jonahs.

Jonah Bevan was 'taken' by the Cardiff rift around 2008, when he was 15 years old.

Biography
The rift took Jonah to a "Burning Planet" in a solar system about to be destroyed. He was rescued, but was was stuck for 40 years before he was returned by the rift to Earth. During that time he had stared into the heart of a Dark Star and what he had seen had driven him mad, resulting in him screaming continuously for a period of 20 hours each day.

On Earth he had been missing for 7 months when Gwen started to investigate after seeing footage of Jack Harkness travelling to the place Jonah disappeared.

Eventually with Ianto Jones's help Gwen found Jonah on a Torchwood facility on Flat Holm, 40 years older and deformed by the heat. She told Jonah's mother, Nikki Bevan, and took her to him. Nikki thought it was a sick joke until Jonah started saying things only he would know. Nikki hugged him but was told they should leave by a staff member. A few seconds later Jonah started screaming, which made Gwen and Nikki back away. His mother agreed to come visit him again, but wished that she had never learned his fate. (TW: Adrift)
