Biography
In her original timeline, Lena was known to have conceived a child with journalist Phil Dethton, a bloodline that eventually led to Jack Deth. As of December 1985, she worked at a Los Angeles mall as an assistant to a mall Santa Claus.

When Deth was sent to 1985 from the year 2247, he inhabited the body of Phil Dethton, now altering Lena's life from that point. Deth, assigned to protect the ancestors of the Council, recruited the reluctant Lena's help. She assisted him in finding Chris Lavery, and after escaping from Deth's nemesis Martin Whistler, they stayed in Chinatown. With Lena's help, Jack managed to save Hap Ashby and 'singe' Whistler, but had to remain with Lena in 1985 when the vial he required to return to 2247 Angel City was broken.

By 1988, the pair's relationship had become strained, with Lena walking out one night after an argument. However, unknown to Lena, Jack later managed to travel back three hours before the fight, in order to repair their relationship.

Jack and Lena were happily married by 1991 and lived with Ashby in his estate, until they came under threat from Whistler's brother Dr. E.D. Wardo. Jack's first wife Alice Stillwell was brought back from just before her death in order help Jack stop Wardo and persuade Jack to return to the future. At first, Lena and Alice didn't get along, but they eventually put their differences aside in order to stop Wardo.

After Jack mysteriously went AWOL, Lena gave birth to their daughter, Josephine and divorced Jack, later remarrying. By 2005, Lena established a career as a journalist and provided vital information that helped Jack learn of a government-sponsored trancer program. Also at this time, Lena hid recruit escapee R.J. from the same operatives who signed her up.
