In [[1928]], [[New York City|Little Italy]], men belonging to the ''Ablemarch''', '''Costerdane''' and '''Frines''' families purchased the immortal [[Jack Harkness]], and were able to take samples of his blood. He later escaped their custody, thanks to man who had initially kidnapped him, [[Angelo Colasanto]]. ([[TW]]: ''[[Immortal Sins]]'') His Grand-daughter later stated that that the families refused to work with Colasanto, due to his homosexual relationship with Harkness. Despite this, he would keep a close eye on both the families, and Harkness, throughout his life.

Through the 20th Century, the Families would remain hidden, acting through companies such as [[PhiCorp]], but would manipulate events on a global scale. Their influence was so large that it eventually reached the extent where they were able to alter and erase data on a global scale. All factual reference to the families subsequently disappeared.

They eventually caused the Miracle in [[2011]], by introducing the immortal blood of Harkness into the Blessing at both ends simltaneously. This was only the beginning however, as they planned to use their influence and wealth to eventually control the human race. On the same day, they also sent an email to the [[Central Intelligence Agency]] consisting of just one word, "Torchwood". They later erased all records of [[Torchwood Institute]].

In [[September]] of that year, they intended to seal the Blessing by collapsing the underground caves at each end, stopping anyone from interfering with it again, and negating the Miracle. This plan was interupted by members of Torchwood, and the CIA however. After a stand off between the two sides, Harkness and [[Rex Matheson]] were able to release Harkness' blood (now mortal due to the Miracle) into the Blessing again, reversing its effects. | In [[September]] of that year, they intended to seal the Blessing by collapsing the underground caves at each end, stopping anyone from interfering with it again, and negating the Miracle.

"The Mother" of the Families was subsequently killed by Oswald Danes, who blew up himself, and the Shanghai complex while holding onto her. However, the Families didn't see this as a defeat, more as a trial run and had a Plan B.

As owners of the pharmaceutical company [[PhiCorp]], The Families were able to produce and stockpile vast quantities of painkillers. Not only would this make them exessive profits throughout the Miracle, but they were also able to do so without PhiCorp COO [[Stuart Owens]] even learning of the Families existence, as his own subsequent attempts to research who was manipulating his company were largely fruitless. | As owners of the pharmaceutical company [[PhiCorp]], The Families were able to produce and stockpile vast quantities of painkillers.
