Lewis Cole

Lewis Cole is a character in QIA. He appears in the episode "Redemption".
== Biography ==
Born in Huddersfield, Lewis had a brief history of drink-driving at age 19. 
He married Shannon on 24th August 2002.
=== The Accident ===
To celebrate the New Year, Lewis and Shannon, who was pregnant with their son and five weeks from her due date, drove to a remote cabin near Elphin in the Scottish highlands in late December 2005. After a night of drinking and celebrating, Shannon seemingly went into labour and, with help being three hours away, convinced Lewis to drive her to hospital despite being intoxicated. As a result, Lewis crashed the car, killing both Shannon and their unborn child.
After his trial, during which Shannon's father Donal Cullen - who already disliked Lewis - pushed for the maximum penalty, Lewis was jailed for fourteen years. During this time, due to the combined efforts of Cullen and Lewis himself, who - feeling tremendous guilt - did not want to be released, he served the full sentence.
=== Release and Redemption ===
In September 2020, upon his eventual release from prison, Lewis was approached by Jarrad Foley, who offered him a chance for redemption. Jarrad convinced Lewis to Jump back to New Year's Eve 2005 and kill his own past self, thereby saving the lives of his wife and unborn child.
The resulting infraction was classed as a Level 10, the first of its kind, due to the overwhelming amount of Paradox that would would be caused should Lewis have succeeded. However, the London Field Team were easily able to apprehend Lewis before he managed to cause any changes to the timeline, and he was brought back to 2020.
=== Fate ===
Anxious to learn the identity of whoever had helped Lewis - and also, presumably, Paul Northwood - the team gave him a choice - face an eternity of punishment in the Void, or help their investigation. However, Lewis, wanting only to be punished for his past actions, preferred the sentence. It wasn't until he was instead offered a modified Void sentence, one in which - using fragments from the datastream generated in the wake of his potential success - he could spend eternity with a fictional version of Shannon and his son, gradually growing old together until his physical body died, that he agreed to the deal and named Jarrad as the one who had helped him.
Lewis is currently serving his specialised sentence in the Void. The plan to modify his experience would later be used again for Sarah Cunnington and Ethan Taylor.
