The Ghostmaker was the leader of the Night Travellers. He had the appearance of a ringleader in a travelling circus. He and the rest of the Night Travellers got trapped in film but when the Electro re-opened and a piece of film was played the Ghostmaker and Pearl were released. The duo went around town collecting the life force and 'final breath' of individuals and creating Ghosts. He and Pearl retrieved the rest of the film from Jonathon Penn's workshop and released the rest of the Night Travellers, together they believed they owned the world. The Ghostmaker ran when Jack Harkness confronted the Night Walkers with a camera and when cornered threw the bottle containing the last breaths in which most were released. Ianto Jones caught the bottle but only one breath remained. Jack caught the Ghostmaker and the rest of the Night Travellers on film but feared that other rolls of old film elsewhere may contain them and they might be free once more. (TW: From out of the Rain)
