After several decades as an informal free-lancer, he eventually became its head in the year 2000. For the majority of those years, he also worked for Torchwood Three. He also had many different relationships, some of which produced offspring. This left the immortal no choice but to simply wait from the mid- 19th to the early 21st century to reconnect with the Doctor.ĭuring his long wait for the "right Doctor", he experienced what was to him Earth's history firsthand and he even served in a few of the well-known conflicts. But his vortex manipulator failed to deliver him there due to the damage caused when he was exterminated by the Daleks, missing by more than a century - and going on the fritz immediately thereafter. He thought it likely that he'd find the Ninth Doctor in the early 21st century, since that was Rose's home era. Stranded, the former Time Agent had to use his own devices to catch up to the Doctor. Consequently, the Doctor abandoned him in the year 200,100 aboard a space station orbiting a Dalek-devastated Earth.

Because of this, the Ninth Doctor saw his companion as a fixed point - a temporal paradox that threatened the TARDIS' proper operation. Unable to control her powers, she accidentally turned him into an immortal being. He was a companion of the Ninth Doctor, and an associate of the Sixth, Tenth and Thirteenth Doctors.Īfter he was shot and killed by a Dalek, Jack was revived by Rose Tyler, who at the time was transformed into a nearly omnipotent being.

"Captain Jack Harkness" was the alias adopted by Time Agent and con man Javic Piotr Thane ( AUDIO: Month 25, R&J) from the 51st century.
