One day an unknown enemy invaded his homeland and killed many of the inhabitants. Jack was told by his father to flee with Gray while he went back for Jack's mother. As Jack was running, Gray stumbled and Jack accidentally let go of Gray's hand. Jack continued to run, thinking Grey was behind him hiding in a bush while the invaders flew overhead. He returned to his home hoping to find his brother, but instead found only his father, dead. Jack claimed it was the worst day of his life, and that he spent many years searching for his brother, though he never found him.

Growing up

As a young man, he persuaded a friend to "join up" with him to fight against an unspecified enemy Jack described only as "horrible". When captured, the enemy, considering Jack's friend to be the weaker of the pair, tortured him as a lesson for Jack. The enemies let Jack go, bearing the guilt of his friend's fate.

Jack left the Agency and became a time-travelling con artist, running various scams using his knowledge of future events, such as demanding money for items that he knew would be destroyed before the buyer could see it.

Unwilling to accept the loss of another teammate, Jack tracked down the other resurrection glove and brought back Owen Harper. The attempt, though successful, left Owen unable to digest food, sleep, or enjoy sex. In addition, the glove released an extradimensional alien, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Durac%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Durac%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BDurac%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Durac" title="Durac" class="mw-redirect">Durac</a>, the embodiment of death.

Gray then forced John to bury Jack alive, twenty feet beneath what would become Cardiff. Gray, transformed into a merciless, sadistic beast by a lifetime of horrific torture, blamed Jack for letting go of his hand when they were children and wanted Jack to experience a similar, never-ending pain by choking on dirt, thrashing on the edge of life every time he revived, only to die again.

Despite being baffled, the two granted him this request and Jack awoke again inside Torchwood Three concurrent to Gray's mayhem just in time to prevent Gray from finishing off Toshiko with a bullet. Despite Gray's own unwillingness to absolve him, Jack forgave his brother of his trespasses. Left with no other option, a tearful Jack chloroformed and cryopreserved Gray, refusing to kill him, but the damage had already been done, as Gray had been responsible for the deaths of Owen Harper and Toshiko Sato. Jack and John parted ways on better terms, with John travelling the world of the 21st century, determined to find out why Jack found the time period so interesting.

Gwen arranged for the protection of former 456 victim <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Clem%20MacDonald%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Clement%20MacDonald%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BClement%20MacDonald%7CClem%20MacDonald%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Clement_MacDonald" title="Clement MacDonald">Clem MacDonald</a> by bringing him to "Hub 2," as Rhys came to call it.

A tearful Captain Jack surrendered to the authorities, blaming himself for Ianto's death. He instructed Gwen to have Rhys surrender himself as well, and arranged for the couple to return to Cardiff, with instructions to inform Rhiannon of her brother's death, and to see to the needs of her family.

As the world governments began capitulating to the demands of the 456, and began rounding up children by the millions, Jack found himself sprung from prison by a surprise ally - Agent Johnson, who had become disillusioned and convinced by Alice to take a stand.

There was one major catch: in order for it to work, the wave needed to be channeled through one child, for whom the force of the transmission would be deadly. Only one child was available to serve as the "transmitter." Ignoring his daughter's screams and protests, Jack used his own grandson, Steven, as the prime transmitter. The plan succeeded, and the 456 were violently ejected from Earth. However, Steven died as a result, and Alice severed all contact with Jack, walking away without speaking a word.

Seemingly out of character, Jack decided to take the night off from his usual persistence in solving such a mystery.

However, the assassin was fascinated by the fact that Jack was the only mortal man left, and did not want to kill him. After informing Jack that something that he did in the past was involved, the assassin threatened to cut Gwen's throat, but before he could carry out his threat, he was shot by Rex.

Olivia took Jack and the rest of the Torchwood team to Angelo's house, where Jack was informed that Angelo had been able to live to over 100 through artificial means, but had still aged normally and was in a coma on a life support system. Rex soon brought the CIA to Angelo's house, and <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Allen%20Shapiro%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Allen%20Shapiro%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BAllen%20Shapiro%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Allen_Shapiro" title="Allen Shapiro">Allen Shapiro</a> had Olivia and <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Brian%20Friedkin%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Brian%20Friedkin%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BBrian%20Friedkin%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Brian_Friedkin" title="Brian Friedkin">Brian Friedkin</a> arrested. Jack spoke to Angelo despite the fact that he was unconscious, and removed part of his life support system to save him. Jack unplugged Angelo's life support equipment, assuming that he would not be able to die due to the miracle, and was surprised to find that Angelo did in fact die. After Shapiro had Gwen deported back to Wales, Jack discovered that there was a <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22null%20field%20generator%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22null%20field%20generator%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bnull%20field%20generator%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Null_field_generator" title="Null field generator">null field generator</a> under Angelo's bed that cancelled out the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22morphic%20field%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22morphic%20field%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bmorphic%20field%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Morphic_field" title="Morphic field">morphic field</a> that had caused the miracle in the first place.

Jack spent the next two months with Esther, and they eventually ended up in Scotland. Esther collected Jack's blood, as she believed it must be somehow relevant to the miracle. Eventually, the two were contacted by Gwen who informed them that Oswald Danes was in her house and wanted to speak to Jack. Jack and Esther went to Wales, where Jack retconned a man who was watching Gwen's house before they went inside. Oswald explained to Jack that he had stolen <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Jilly%20Kitzinger%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Jilly%20Kitzinger%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BJilly%20Kitzinger%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Jilly_Kitzinger" title="Jilly Kitzinger">Jilly Kitzinger</a>'s laptop, and knew what she was doing for the families.

Jack went to Shanghai with Gwen and Oswald, but once they arrived there his gunshot wound began to hurt more. Gwen helped him change his bandage, and Oswald noticed that Jack's blood was moving by itsself. Gwen determined that Jack's blood must be moving towards the Blessing.

Jack, with the help of Oswald and Gwen, located the Blessing, which was about to be blown up by the Families to bury it forever, as they knew that Torchwood had located it. Strapping Oswald to a bomb, the three are able to force their way into the Blessing while Rex and Esther were captured while trying to infiltrate the blessing in Buenos Aires. Jack, despite being from the future and having had experiences with <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22the%20Doctor%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22the%20Doctor%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bthe%20Doctor%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/The_Doctor" title="The Doctor">the Doctor</a> had no idea what the Blessing really was but believed it to have been on Earth since the beginning. The Blessing seemed to show everybody themselves, but Jack didn't appear significantly effected by seeing all the lives he had lived. Jack learned that his blood was used to change the Blessing which runs Earth's <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22morphic%20field%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22morphic%20field%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5Bmorphic%20field%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Morphic_field" title="Morphic field">morphic field</a> causing Jack to realize that the Blessing changed in defense of itself and that his mortal blood can change it back. The family member revealed that mortal blood would need to be put into the Blessing from both ends to reverse the Miracle, so Jack would have no way to do it. Rex, however, revealed that he had tranfused Jack's blood into his own body. The two men were prepared to sacrifice themselves to end the Miracle with Gwen planning to shoot Jack, but Esther was shot by the Families in an attempt to prevent this, as ending the miracle would kill Esther. The two went decided to end the Miracle anyway, and Gwen shot Jack while Rex removed his bandage. Jack died of the gunshot wound. Oswald decided to stay behind to blow up a family member, and Gwen and Jilly decided to escape. Jack's immortality returned and he escaped with Gwen as Oswald detonated his bomb. Rex also survived the ordeal, but Esther sadly passed away. Jack attended Esther's and watched as <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Charlotte%20Wills%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Charlotte%20Wills%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCharlotte%20Wills%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Charlotte_Wills" title="Charlotte Wills">Charlotte Wills</a> was exposed as the CIA mole and killed Rex before being killed herself.

Personality

Jack Harkness' personality was willfully enigmatic; Jack was fond of his persona of 'mysterious time traveler,' much of which remained constant in his experiences with Torchwood and the Doctor. He would take to saying "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.", much like the Doctor, when something particularly tragic happened to someone. Prior to being cursed with immortality, Jack Harkness was a flippant time traveller and former con man who loved adventuring with the Doctor and seducing beings throughout the galaxy. By nature, Jack flirted with most people he met, not caring about their gender or if they were human, alien or even robots.

Besides being a flirt, Jack was a drinker. He once remarked that on one occassion when he was sentenced to death, he got drunk and ended up in bed with both his executioners. He told Rose that he preferred to discuss business while he was drinking.

Despite the fact that he was incapable of dying even if he wanted to, Jack retained a sense of humour, frequently telling jokes and being lively and cheerful. However, underneath his cheerful demeanour, Jack was unsure if he wanted to die or not.

While he joked about gray hairs and remained silent about mortality, Jack saw death as the ultimate end of being; there was no afterlife and no one waiting for him from his past lives. Although he was generally friendly and flirtatious, Jack could also be ruthless at times and did not hesitate to kill anyone or anything that he felt was a threat. This trait sometimes got him into trouble with his allies in Torchwood who disapproved of his lack of compassion.

Always being a vocal, unreliable narrator of his own adventures, Jack Harkness was much of a mystery to the people he encountered as much as the countless numbers of lives he has claimed to have led. Jack continued to protect himself with an air of mystery, considering no one he has encountered thus far knows his real name or many details about his career or life. Regardless, he often told anecdotes about his sex life. However, no one knew how many were real or how many have been fabricated.

Jack was haunted by the loss of his younger brother Gray and spent many decades searching for him. He blamed himself for Gray's disappearance because he'd let go of his hand when they were fleeing from aliens during their childhood. Jack loved his brother deeply and even after Gray turned against him, Jack told him that he forgave him.

He could also re-grow limbs, organs, bones, etc. After a bomb that was planted in his stomach exploded, he was able to fully regenerate from just an arm, a shoulder, and part of his head in a bit over twelve hours. His bones grew back first, followed by his internal organs, and lastly his skin. The process of resurrection could often be very painful, especially in this instance.

Notably, although Jack quickly recovered from fatal injuries, he has been shown to sustain more minor wounds such as a cut lip or a black eye and retain them for a while after the injury was inflicted, demonstrating that his immortality was just that and would not facilitate his ability to cope with less serious injuries, although it is unclear whether this would apply if Jack broke any limbs or was paralysed (<a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22TW%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22TW%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BTW%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/TW" title="TW">TW</a>: <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Cyberwoman%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Cyberwoman%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BCyberwoman%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Cyberwoman" title="Cyberwoman">Cyberwoman</a>, <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Fragments%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Fragments%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BFragments%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Fragments" title="Fragments">Fragments</a>).

Its eventually revealed that his blood was used on <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22The%20Blessing%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22The%20Blessing%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BThe%20Blessing%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/The_Blessing" title="The Blessing">The Blessing</a> to make the world immortal and it had the reverse effect on him.

Although once described as gay by Owen Harper, Jack was, correctly, omnisexual, in that he found both males and females attractive and not exclusively humans, either. He has had many lovers of both sexes and of numerous species. By nature, Jack flirted with nearly everyone he met. The earliest known example is his Time Agency partner Captain <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22John%20Hart%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22John%20Hart%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BJohn%20Hart%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/John_Hart" title="John Hart">John Hart</a> (<a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22TW%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22TW%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BTW%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/TW" title="TW">TW</a>: <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Kiss%20Kiss%2C%20Bang%20Bang%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Kiss%20Kiss%2C%20Bang%20Bang%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BKiss%20Kiss%2C%20Bang%20Bang%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Kiss_Kiss,_Bang_Bang" title="Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang">Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang</a>), but Jack also recalled lovers from his Time Agency days such as his would-be executioners (a couple) and a boyfriend with no mouth.

However it needs to be noted that Harkness was not an American, but rather someone from the far future who has pretended to be one, like he did during the "miracle" period (<a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22TW%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22TW%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BTW%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/TW" title="TW">TW</a>: <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Rendition%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Rendition%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRendition%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Rendition" title="Rendition">Rendition</a>). Furthermore, it is established that he has spent much of his life (especially after gaining immortality) based in the British Isles or travelling with "British-speaking" companions such as the Doctor and Rose Tyler. There is nothing to say that Harkness has actually been using an "American" accent; his accent may actually be Boeshanean or something else. Jack's family have been shown to speak with similar accents to his.
  • Jack Harkness wore the rank slide of a Group Captain but has been addressed, incorrectly, as "Captain". However, in his initial appearance in Doctor Who he was incorrectly wearing the cap and insignia of a Squadron Leader.
  • The implication that Jack is destined to become the Face of Boe is not considered set in stone due to <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Russell%20T%20Davies%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Russell%20T%20Davies%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRussell%20T%20Davies%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-18107267884e6e825af0734" href="/wiki/Russell_T_Davies" title="Russell T Davies">Russell T Davies</a> waffling over the issue during the DVD commentary for Last of the Time Lords, in which he would not commit absolutely to Jack becoming the Face in the future.

  • Jack is similar to the Doctor in that both are time travellers with a form of immortality that don't go by their real names, and both are main characters of a TV show.
  • Jack is one of only three of the Doctor's assistants (the others being Sarah Jane Smith and K9) to get their own spin-off show.
  • In the Declassified segment for Children of Earth, Russell T Davies states that Jack has several children other than Alice.
