Norton Folgate

Norton Folgate was a member of the Torchwood Institute in the 1950s. He spied on his teammates on behalf of the Committee, and later worked with Jeremiah Bash Henderson to restore them to life after their defeat by the Enemy.

Biography
Norton's father was a vicar, which meant that he grew up in a church in London. His mother would sew hassocks for the church, spending most of her time during World War II doing so, but the church was bombed and her hard work was destroyed. She had been snobbish and not fond of the cockneys, and the couple moved to a parish in the Cotswolds.

Norton did not visit his parents, as they disapproved of his work with Torchwood and his being gay. He had often felt the spare child as his parents preferred his elder brother Gerald.

After the war, Norton and his team had to deal with a large amount of black market trading in alien artefacts as a result of the number of spacecraft shot down. However, they were mostly called out to the sites of unexploded bombs. At some point, he began spying on the team for the Committee.

Norton was brought from 1953 to 2016 using soft-light projection in order to find Object One, which he claimed was needed in the fifties. He approached Andy Davidson in 2016 claiming to be an assessor for Torchwood. Norton and Andy investigated a spillage of a green liquid which killed a man, and found a clone factory in an abandoned set of flats. Norton found Object One, which gave him a body whilst he wore it, and was congratulated by the Committee. (AUDIO: Ghost Mission)

Personality
Norton was camp, flamboyant and sarcastic. Andy remarked that he very rarely said anything helpful, preferring to make flippant comments.

Behind the scenes
Given that Norton lived in London, it is most likely that he was a member of Torchwood One.
