''' | The '''Three Families''' (also known as '''the Families''') were a powerful organisation derived from three different families: [[Frines]], [[Costerdane]], and [[Ablemarch]]. They systematically manipulated the [[human]] race over the [[20th century]] for their own purposes. It was believed that one family was centred on politics, one had entered into the economic world and the other had gone into media. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Gathering (TV story)|The Gathering]]'') | ||
According to [[Jack Harkness]], the Families were actually being controlled by [[the Committee]], a group of aliens from the planet [[Erebus]].

In [[2007]], [[Jack's kidnapper|a family agent]] kidnapped [[Jack Harkness]] and took him to [[Chernobyl]], testing his [[immortality]] several times along the way. The agent removed a significant quantity of Jack's blood before the appearance of [[Gwen Cooper]] allowed Jack to kill the agent.

They caused the Miracle in [[2011]] by simultaneously putting Harkness' immortal blood into both ends of the Blessing. This was only the beginning however; they planned to use their influence and wealth to control the human race. The same day, they sent an [[email]] to the [[Central Intelligence Agency]] consisting of just one word: "Torchwood". Harkness erased all records of the [[Torchwood Institute]] and all of its living members to protect Gwen Cooper.
