==Biography==
===Early life===
Newt grew up during the Great Depression. His family was wealthy and did not feel the effects of the financial hardship. He discovered his power to jump through time at the age of seven, but mostly used it for small, selfish reasons, avoiding things he disliked and pouring more time into those he enjoyed. He never got along well with other people his age and preferred to spend his time reading and studying instead.Traveller
===War===
In his late teens, Newt enlisted in the army during World War II to try to become the tough "man's man" his parents wanted him to be. He was sent to Hürtgen Forest, where he fell in love with one of his fellow soldiers, Jack Willard, instead. The two developed a close, sometimes sexual, relationship.
Jack made a habit of looking out for Newt, who in turn nicknamed him "Daddy Long Legs."Abuelito
Newt's unit was plagued by heavy losses and desertions,quipquipquip: "Things To Know About Jack Willard" but he swore to use his powers to get himself and Jack out of the war alive and in one piece. Every time one of them was injured, Newt jumped back to a point where he could change the chain of events to keep them both safe. Jack was never aware of the many second chances he got at life. During one such redo attempt on Thanksgiving 1944, Newt lost his leg to a landmine, and, panicked, jumped himself and Jack forward a year and out of the war entirely.
===After the war===
The two landed at the Maillardet Foundation on November 24, 1945. Newt enjoyed being among other posthumans and men of science, and gradually acclimated to life as an amputee. However, Jack slowly became more and more depressed, especially after learning about his own posterpower. Determined to help him, Newt jumped through time with him again and again until he could find a place and time where Jack could heal.
Newt has been meddling in a lot of things for a very long time.quipquipquip: "The time traveler in Traveller is Newt..."
===Later life===
At some point, Newt returned to Maillardet's, and stayed there long enough to consider Foundation his true home.He eventually married Aubrey Montgomery and settled in London with him, taking his last name. He trained Amira bint Balqis when she was a teenager. At Rosario Galán-Grant's quinceañera, he meets Jack again, this time as an old man.
==Personality==
Newt is well-educated, but he is not very good with other people his own age. Before he met Jack, Newt preferred the company of books to people. Jack describes him as extremely smart, but lacking in common sense: "The damn fool would walk straight into the line of fire if he didn't have someone yanking on his collar."
Newt is extremely determined and methodical, jumping through time again and again and trying different small changes each time until he is able to reach his desired outcome. He thinks of it as making educated guesses to figure out the combination of a lock; if it refuses to budge, he steps back and tries again.
==Physical appearance==
Newt has always been chunky. He lost his left leg to a mine in Hürtgen Forest; as an old man, he walks with a slight limp.
==Powers and abilities==
Newt is an incredibly powerful blue-band Alpha with the ability to "twist time into a pretzel." He is able to remember everything from his jumps through time and the various timelines he visits. The only side effect from the use of his powers is a few seconds of vertigo-induced nausea after each jump.
==Relationships==
===Jack Willard===
Newt fell in love with Jack Willard when they were both stationed in Hürtgen Forest during World War II. Although the two had a sometimes sexual relationship, Newt knew that Jack could not reciprocate his true feelings. Even so, he was determined to do everything in his considerable power to see Jack safely through the war.
===Amira bint Balqis===
Newt trained Amira bint Balqis when she was a teenager. The two remained close; Amira keeps his pictures in her office and often asks Newt to visit her at Maillardet's.
