John Frobisher was the Permanent Secretary to the Home Office and the civil servant placed in charge of the 456 incident.
Profile
Passionate and driven, his job became increasingly difficult when all around him begin to shirk any responsibility for the disaster that was unfolding.
He was part of the civil service and as such worked for the state on the prime ministers orders. He witnessed the 456 coming to earth with Dekker and was the first person to talk to the 456. He wanted Jack Harkness dead since he knew what really happened in 1965, and would stop any leaking of the deal in 1965.
Frobisher was in charge of talking to the 456 and give information back and forward from the government. He was mainly used by the Prime Minister so that he would not take the blame for anything that unfolded in the dealings with the 456 and because Frobisher was 'expendable' in the eyes of the government. From that point on the Prime Minister refused any connection to what was happening putting solely Frobisher as the Ambassador to the 456.
During Day Four, when there was an emergency meeting of COBRA to figure out how to give 10% of the children, PM Brian Green told Frobisher to figure out how to get the children to the 456 (Frobisher arranged transport for this) and how to select the children, the decision of how to select was left to the Cabinet. Frobisher came up with a cover story saying that the children will be getting an injection to get rid of the control of the 456 while the government took them.
He was informed by the Prime Minister in Day Five, that he was to publicly hand his children over for 'inoculation,' in an attempt by the Government to portray themselves as the victims of the 456's actions, reassuring the public regarding the cover story and implicating the 456 as the real villain of the day. Knowing that instead his children would be sacrificed to the 456, he decided to murder his family and commit suicide. He kissed his ever loyal PA Bridget Spears on the cheek as they met for the final time, Spears (with knowledge of what Furbisher was doing), made clear to Lois Habiba, that 'John Frobisher was a good man', and 'it wasn't his fault'.
He was married to Anna, they had two daughters, Holly and Lilly. But it turns out john and his family died for nothing as the 456 plan was foiled.
