"'''Captain John Hart'''" was an alias adopted by a rogue [[Time Agent]] after hearing his friend and lover [[Jack Harkness]]' choice of name. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}})
 
== Biography ==
=== Childhood ===
John Hart, an alias he would later adopt, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}}) was a "naughty boy" as a child. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The War Master (audio story)}})
 
=== With the Time Agency ===
[[File:John_Hart_and_Jack_Harkness_Time_Agents.jpg|thumb|left|The two time agents, long before either chose their respective names. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Secret Agent Man (comic story)}})]]
Hart was a former partner of Jack Harkness during their time in the [[Time Agency]], both professionally, and sexually. During their time in the Agency, Hart was trapped in a two-week [[time loop]] with Jack for a period of five years. While briefly arguing over who the "wife" was in the relationship, Hart agreed that he had been "a good wife, too". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}})
 
On another occasion, the two time agents faced off against a horde of [[Weeping Angel]]s.
 
After two years of Jack's memory had been erased, John and other Time Agents refused to discuss it with him. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Secret Agent Man (comic story)}})
 
He had been in rehab for drink, drugs, sex and even murder. By the time that Hart reunited with Jack, the Agency had closed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}})
 
=== After the Agency ===
At some point, John found Jack's younger brother [[Gray (Fragments)|Gray]] in a city on the [[Bedlam Outlands]]. Gray, consumed with wrath at his brother for having supposedly abandoned him, had turned against Jack. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Exit Wounds (TV story)}})
 
[[File:15.jpg|thumb|left|Captain John Hart coming through the Rift. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}})]]
Captain John killed [[hologram woman|the owner]] of canisters containing an explosive that latched onto the [[DNA|DNA signature]] of her killer, thinking that they would lead to an [[Arcadian diamond]]. She created a [[Rift storm]] and they came through the [[Cardiff Space-Time Rift|Cardiff Rift]] into [[Cardiff]]. He followed them through and asked [[Torchwood Three]] to help find these canisters, which he told them were radioactive bombs.
 
John stole the canisters from under Torchwood's noses, paralysing [[Gwen Cooper]] with [[paralysing lip gloss]] and wounding [[Owen Harper]]. He attempted to kill Jack, but he had become immortal. He sent [[Ianto Jones]] off to see if he could save the others and he succeeded.
 
[[File:Somebody set up john the bomb.jpg|thumb|John realising that the diamond he was hoping for is actually a bomb. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}})]]
Finding the last piece on a [[Blowfish]], the contents of the canisters formed into a [[DNA bomb|bomb]], and a [[hologram]] of the canisters' [[hologram woman|owner]] told him the truth about them. Using the [[DNA]] of the Torchwood Three crew, John superficially altered his DNA. Jack and Owen were able to save John's life and safely dispose of the bomb before forcing him back through the Rift, but not before he revealed to Jack he had found Gray. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}})

Gray used John as an instrument of revenge. He molecularly bonded [[John Hart's vortex manipulator|John's vortex manipulator]] to the skin on John's wrist and added a Ninth Generation Detonator to it. Gray then threatened to activate the detonator if John did not comply with his plans. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Exit Wounds (TV story)}})

Returning to Cardiff, John planted several bombs in an abandoned warehouse to trick the Torchwood team into being caught in. The team escaped from the rubble, injured but alive. At that point, [[Jack Harkness' vortex manipulator|Jack's vortex manipulator]] started to beep, revealing John in hologram form, showing that he had Gray.

Later, John lured Jack back to the Hub and killed him. With the others dealing with various aliens in Cardiff, John took Jack, who had came back to life, to [[27]] AD Cardiff, where he had met Gray. He was then ordered by Gray to bury Jack alive, but refused as he still loved his old friend, but Gray threatened to activate the detonator if he did not comply. Before he filled in the grave he threw a ring, which was really a tracking device, into the hole. John was then set free by Gray. He decided to go back to Torchwood and find Jack to save him, calling it a matter of honour. He was briefly imprisoned by Gray along with Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones, during which time he sent out a recall signal that stopped a [[Weevil]] infestation of Cardiff. After Gray's defeat, and the subsequent deaths of [[Toshiko Sato]] and Owen Harper, Hart left the Hub. Jack offered to help pinpoint a Rift event that John could use to return to his own time, but Hart reflected that it might be interesting to explore the world and get a better feel for what Jack found so fascinating about the time period.

John Hart visited Ianto's funeral in [[2009]], watching from a distance and saying "Take care, Eye Candy". Some time afterwards, John ended up in [[Mexico]], making a living, by buying and selling alien artefacts from a rift off the Gulf. There, he met [[Mairwyn]] who introduced herself as "Beatrice", and experienced "love at first sight". However, she stole an old-model vortex manipulator and went after Ianto Jones, two years prior to his death, in an attempt to make him change the timeline.

== Other realities ==
After travelling back to [[1887]], John created [[Alternate timeline (The Death of Captain Jack)|an alternate timeline]]. He was [[knight]]ed [[Sir]] John Hart by Queen [[Victoria]], and later [[marriage|married]] her. At one point, Jack Harkness came after him to stop this, but John shot him and trapped him in a device which sucked his life energy out of him. Following Victoria's death, John ascended to the throne of the [[British Empire]] after declaring himself [[King of the United Kingdom|king]].
 
In [[2017]], 130 years after his arrival in 1887, he came back to a dying Jack and told him what he did with Torchwood. In the [[1940s]] he told [[Norton Folgate]] to kill some witnesses to an alien landing. He later had Torchwood fake the [[Roswell crash]] to amuse him. He then planned to extend the British Empire and defended the Earth. After forcing [[Torchwood One]] to open the [[Void Ship]] he relocated to Cardiff after the [[Dalek]]s destroyed the [[home counties]]. He had [[Gwen Cooper]] and [[Toshiko Sato]] killed and had [[Ianto Jones]] walk round the Torchwood Hub in kinky outfits. When [[the 456]] came, he gave them ten [[percent]] of the children. When he was shown [[the Blessing]], he didn't care much of it. Jack later told him that when he died, John would be left in this alternative reality and the world would reset to the original timeline. Ultimately, this timeline was negated as a result of John's tampering with a [[fixed point in time]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Death of Captain Jack (audio story)}})


Another [[Time Agent]], Captain '''John Hart''' was a rogue who traveled to [[Cardiff]] in early [[2009]]. He was an old friend and lover of [[Jack Harkness]]. Like Jack, his real name is unknown. The name 'John Hart' was an alias he made up when hearing Jack's name, his intentions were to make it the same but different as an attempt of sarcasm. ([[TW]]: ''[[Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang]]'')
== Appearance ==
John described the colour of his [[eye]]s as baby blue. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The War Master (audio story)}})


==Profile==
== Personality ==
===History===
For the most part, Captain John Hart was a selfish, hedonistic sociopath prone to being treacherous and unreliable, to such an extent that Jack Harkness had three rules when dealing with him: the first was never trust anything he said, the second was to always keep him in front of you and the third was to never let him kiss you, which Hart accused Jack of making so he could have his lover all to himself. Hart had amazing physical strength, being able to lift a grown man in one hand and drop him off a roof. Like Jack, he was [[omnisexual]], taking a sexual interest in both males and females, and, once, even a [[poodle]], which he found "gorgeous". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}}) At the side of a dying [[Queen]] [[Victoria]] in [[Alternate timeline (The Death of Captain Jack)|an alternate timeline]], he proposed "one last bit of [[sex|how's your father]]" after she "[[death|shuffle[d] off]]." ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Death of Captain Jack (audio story)}}) He and Jack were once lovers and, according to Jack, John was the wife in their relationship. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)}})
Hart was a former partner of Jack Harkness during their time in the Time Agency, both professionally and sexually. He has been in rehab for drink, drugs, sex and even murder. By the time Hart re-united with Captain Jack, the Agency had closed.  


Although Hart was selfish and treacherous, he was not heartless and genuinely cared for Captain Jack Harkness, turning against Jack's brother Gray as soon as he was freed from his control. He also told Jack that he loved him and the only reason he assisted Gray was that he would get blown up if he didn't. John also felt sorry for Jack after the deaths of Toshiko and Owen. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Exit Wounds (TV story)}})
[[File:15.jpg|thumb|left|Captain John Hart coming through the rift]]
Captain John Hart appeared through the [[Cardiff Rift]] to ask for Jack's help in locating three [[radioactive]] [[cluster bombs]], apparently scattered across Cardiff; Jack Harkness tells the team he can't be trusted but agrees to help him. John seized the containers, trying to kill [[Gwen Cooper]] using a [[paralyzing lip gloss]], shooting Owen and pushing Jack off the top of a building, thinking he's dead. However the containers, which were supposed to contain the location of an [[Arcadian diamond]] hidden by the woman he had murdered, instead contained an explosive which latched onto the [[DNA signature]] of her killer. Superficially altering his DNA using that of the [[Torchwood 3]] crew, Jack and Owen are able to save Johns life before forcing him back through the Rift but not before he revealed he'd found Jack's brother [[Gray]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang]]'')


John found Jack's younger brother [[Gray]], who, consumed by wrath at Jack having supposedly abandoned him, had turned against him. [[Gray]]<br />[[File:20.jpg|thumb|Captain John Hart in hologram form]]used John as an instrument of revenge. He fused John's [[Time Agency wrist strap]] to his own skin and put a bomb on it. Gray then threatened to set off the bomb if John did not comply with his plans. ([[TW]]: ''[[Exit Wounds]]'') John planted a bomb in an abandoned warehouse and sent Jack a message saying he was going to rip his world apart. The bomb detonated with Torchwood 3 inside. ([[TW]]: ''[[Fragments]]'') John lured Jack back to the Hub and killed him. With the others dealing with various in Cardiff, John took Jack, who had come back to life, to 27 AD Cardiff where he met Gray. He then was forced into helping Gray bury Jack alive. Before he filled in the grave he threw a ring into the hole (which was really a tracking device). John was then set free by Gray but he decided to go back to Torchwood and find Jack and save him, calling it a matter of honour. He was briefly imprisoned by Gray (along with Gwen Cooper and [[Ianto Jones]]), during which time he sent out a recall signal that stopped a [[Weevil]] infestation of Cardiff. After Gray's defeat, and the subsequent deaths of [[Toshiko Sato]] and [[Owen Harper]], Hart left the Hub. ([[TW]]: ''[[Exit Wounds]]'')
John also proved to be easily bored by things and would move from committing one terrible act to another whenever the mood suited him; his access to time travel technology meant he also didn't hold temporal continuity in high regard, resorted to stealing Jack's immortality and turning loose various alien threats on the world just to appease himself, demonstrating that he also possessed psychopathic tendencies.
