As with the rest of the Institute, Torchwood Three initially regarded the Doctor as hostile and sought to combat him. It was due to him mentioning his association with the Doctor that Torchwood initially captured Jack Harkness in 1899, only releasing him when he confessed to having no knowledge of the Doctor’s current location.

Under Jack’s leadership in the [[21st century]] this purpose was abandoned, to the extent that the Director of Torchwood One, [[Yvonne Hartman]], recruited [[Barry Jackson]] to watch for the Doctor, as she did not believe Torchwood Three under Jack would report his arrival.

In [[1914]], after becoming aware of the [[Weevil]]s and Object 1's likely involvement in their creation, Jack finally threw it into the Rift.

In [[1918]], Torchwood Three, under the command of [[Gerald Kneale]], already had access to sophisticated [[cryogenic]] suspension technology. Kneale and another operative, [[Harriet Derbyshire]], investigated supposed hauntings (in fact [[time shift]]s from the future) at [[St Teilo's Hospital]]. Following instructions from Torchwood from the future, they took shellshocked soldier [[Tommy Brockless]] away from the hospital and put him in cryogenic suspension. Tommy was awoken annually for a single day to check his health. | In [[1918]], Torchwood Three, under the command of [[Gerald Kneale]], already had access to sophisticated [[cryogenic]] suspension technology.

In [[1919]], Harriet was killed in action. ([[TV]]: ''[[To the Last Man (TV story)|To the Last Man]]'') Kneale held himself responsible her death and stepped down as Torchwood leader. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Rift War! (comic story)|Rift War!]]'') | |||
In [[1941]], Torchwood Three was led by [[Tilda Brennan]]. She heavily distrusted Jack who was still serving as a freelance agent. In August, Jack brought an alien child, “A. Neil”, to the Hub and then took a few days off. During this time Tilda was manipulated by [[Bilis Manger]], exploiting her hatred of Harkness, into following the instructions in File TW3/87/BM . She vivisected "A. Neil", overpowering the rest of the team when they objected. When he returned Jack confronted her in the Vaults and she held a gun to the head of teammate [[Greg Bishop]], who was Jack’s lover. [[The Light (The Twilight Streets)|The Light]] briefly possessed her, enabling Jack to shoot her.
