Ewan Sherman was the leader of the cannibal villagers. He was the most cruel and sadistic of them all, delighting in toying with his victims before killing them. When Gwen questions him after about why he did it, his cryptic answer is ‘Because it makes me happy’.

Owen Teale, born 20 May 1961 in Swansea trained at the Guildford School of Acting. His first paid work was as a dancer in the musical "Cabaret" in Plymouth, Devon. Subsequently he was approached by BBC-TV and landed a role in The Mimosa Boys (1984). Two years spent as a jobbing actor were followed by roles in the stage version of "The Fifteen Streets", "When She Danced" and "The Comedy of Errors". In 1990 he appeared in Robin Hood starring Patrick Bergin and immediately after finishing this film, he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford upon Avon. One of his earliest TV roles was in Doctor Who, making him one of the few crossover actors who came to Torchwood.
