The only technology known to be used by Boekind was a life support tank with added [[teleport]] in which the [[Face of Boe]] lived in permanently, however even this may be not have been created by Boekind and may be a creation of another race.

==History==
The first of Boekind, the Face of Boe, may have been [[Jack Harkness]]. After the [[Battle of the Game Station]], the [[Bad Wolf entity]] made him near-immortal. Eventually, he started to age, albeit very slowly. The ultimate outcome of this was possibly the Face, so named because that was one of Jack's nicknames, as he was born on the [[Boeshane Peninsula]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Last of the Time Lords]]'')
 
:''Presumably, Jack [[time travel]]ed back to the [[Dark Times]], as Boekind were known as an ancient species, having originated in the [[Isop Galaxy]] "when the stars of the [[Andromeda Galaxy|Andromeda]] [[galaxy]] were still dust". ([[DW]]: ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'')''
 
In the year [[200,000]], the Face gave birth to six children, the [[Boemina]], although in 40 years time even the Boemina would die ([[DW]]: ''[[The Long Game]]''). The Face later nearly died in the year [[5,000,000,023]] but managed to survive ([[DW]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]''), but later sacrificed himself to save the inhabitants of [[New New York]] in the year [[5,000,000,053]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Gridlock]]'')
 
Rather more suitably, The Face of  Boe may be merely an evolutional form of Captain Jack Harkness, possibly removing most of the "impossible" properites of the Captain. Or, it might even be suggested that the Doctor will venture back to Boe, to strip these properties.
