Rebecca Fogg is a character played by actress Francesca Hunt on The Sci Fi Channel's 2001 series The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne.. Of the four main characters that appear in every episode of the series, Rebecca is the only original character created by series creator Gavin Scott in that she is not based on the person or works of French writer Jules Verne.

In the series, Rebecca is Phileas Fogg's second cousin.

Rebecca is a beautiful, athletic, fearless and high-minded woman in her late 20s, she was the first female field agent ever employed by the British Secret Service, a quite extraordinary achievement in the Victorian Era.

As somewhat of an anachronism in Victorian England, Rebecca hugely enjoyed her unique role. In the field, she'd adopt any costume necessary to get the job done, but when portrayed on her home turf she was very different. In the charming manor house made of golden Cotswold stone which is the family home she shares with Phileas, Rebecca behaves like a true Victorian gentlewoman, inviting the local gentry in for tea, and doing good work among the poor.

Rebecca thoroughly enjoyed this kind of double life and performed the role well, but only because she knew that at any moment the heliograph on the hilltop above the house could start flashing with a message from London, and she'll be hurrying into that high-ceilinged office in Whitehall from where she'll be dispatched across the world to tackle the forces of evil.

Rebecca's parents were killed when she was a child, and she was brought up by Sir Boniface Fogg as his ward. She, Phileas, and Erasmus were as close as brothers and sister as children.

An an unofficial godmother, Queen Victoria took a personal interest in Rebecca's upbringing; she was particularly fond of Sir Boniface's niece and followed the progress of her career.
