Biography

For years, Friedkin received orders from the Families on a single phone. Shortly after the start of Miracle Day, he was ordered to have the survivng members of Torchwood and anyone with knowledge of the organisation 'removed.' He ordered a loyal CIA subordinate, Lyn Peterfield, to escort agent Rex Matheson and his prisoners, Gwen Cooper and Captain Jack Harkness, on their flight to the United States. At some point, Friedkin learned that Miracle Day had made Harkness mortal, and ordered Peterfield to poison him; however, Harkness was given an antidote and survived. Upon arrival on US soil, Friedkin's plan to frame Matheson and agent Esther Drummond for taking bribes to betray the CIA was discovered and thwarted. (TW: Rendition)

Friedkin was confronted by Matheson, who ordered him to explain why he had betrayed them and to hand over the phone used by the Families to contact him. Friedkin revealed some details, but did not mention the Families. Matheson then fired a shot close to Friedkin's ear, temporarily deafening him. (TW: Dead of Night)

Sometime later, Friedkin and several CIA agents who may also have been working for the Families captured the Torchwood survivors, Drummond, and Matheson at the home of Angelo Colasanto. Friedkin handcuffed Matheson and mocked Matheson's own interrogation of him. Friedkin admitted his own crimes to Matheson, not knowing that Matheson was using Eye-5 lenses to broadcast Friedkin's words. A legitimate CIA team led by Allen Shapiro moved in and detained Friedkin and his followers as traitors. Waiting with Olivia Colasanto and one of his people inside an SUV, Friedkin defended himself, claiming that he was able to stop the Families from time to time by refusing their orders. Knowing that the Families would punish him through his own family, Friedkin triggered an explosive device in his sleeve, destroying the vehicle and all inside. (TW: End of the Road)
