Captain Jack Harkness
(2005, 2007 - 2008 & 2010)
John Barrowman
 John Barrowman was born in Glasgow, Scotland in March 1967. He moved to the USA, with his family, when he was eight. He first lived in Aurora, Illinois before his family moved to Joliet. He attended Joliet West High School and for a short while he attended the DePaul University.
He returned to the UK for a Shakespeare semester with the United States International University of San Diego, but left to star in the musical production of Anything Goes, with Elaine Page. He later went on to star London West End productions of Miss Saigon, Matador, Rope, and Hair. He also played the Beast in the London Musical of the Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast at the Dominion Theatre in 1991.
His first film appearance was in 1987 as an extra in The Untouchables. In 1993 he presented the children's television show Live & Kicking. Other television appearances include 21 episodes of Central Park West (1995-1996) and 14 episodes of Titans (2000-2001). In 2006, after appearing in 3 stories of Season 27 (New Series 1) of Doctor Who as Captain Jack Harkness, he became the lead role, playing the same character, in the spin-off series Torchwood.
Also during his time on Doctor Who he acted as a judge in the Andrew Lloyd Webber audition shows How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? (2006), Any Dream Will Do (2007) and I'd Do Anything (2008) as well as hosting the quiz show The Kids Are All Right in 2008.
Since leaving Doctor Who he has appeared in 5 episodes of Desperate Housewives in 2010 as well as appearing and performing in various shows. He was awarded an MBE in the 2014 Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
 The man known to all as Captain Jack Harkness - he has admitted that this is only an alias he assumed prior to his first meeting with The Doctor, although his real name has not yet been revealed - is easily The Doctor’s most unique companion even before he began travelling with The Doctor, although this was mainly due to his sexuality. While all of The Doctor’s previous companions were generally exclusively heterosexual - if any examples of their romantic inclination were presented; some companions, such as Victoria Waterfield or Grant Markham, never gave any clear indication which way they were romantically inclined one way or the other -, Jack Harkness was blatantly bisexual, demonstrating an equal attachment for men and women, whether human or alien, due to his origins as a fifty-first century time agent, a point in history when mankind had spread out so far that old definitions of sexuality had become virtually obsolete.

Although we learned some important details about Jack’s past in his first appearance - including his status as a former Time Agent from the fifty-first century (His agency’s connection with the time-travel experiments of the Fourth Doctor’s old foe Magnus Greel were never revealed) -, we have learned further details about his past since then. Jack was born in the Boeshine Peninsula as Javic Piotr Thane, but his father was killed in an invasion by an unspecified alien race when he was a child. The same race abducted Javic’s brother Gray after Javic lost track of Gray during the attack, leaving Javic feeling constantly guilty over his inability to save his brother. Later joining the Time Agency as an adult - becoming a poster boy known as ‘the Face of Boe’ due to his status as the first Agency recruit from that part of the universe -, Javic went on to carry out various missions throughout history. The precise details of his time with the agency are unknown, but various sources have confirmed that Javic was a skilled agent during this time. However, he was also considered relatively expendable by his superiors as he had no close relationships or family ties, often going ‘rogue’ and remaining in the past to have various sexual encounters, even if he was skilled enough that his superiors would tolerate these dalliances up to a point. On a more serious note, at one point Javic and a friend were once captured by a ruthless enemy race who tortured Javic’s friend because they recognised that he was the weaker of the two. Another mission resulted in Javic spending five years trapped in a two-week time loop with the Time Agent who would later adopt the name ‘John Hart’, during which Hart was apparently the ‘wife’ of the couple. It has even been implied that Javic has had some kind of encounter with the Cybermen at this point in his life ("Cyberwoman").

Eventually, an encounter with a stranger led to Javic learning that two years of his life had been erased from his memory by the Time Agency as an age scan revealed he was two years older than he thought he was ("Month 25"). This stranger revealed that he was Javic’s future self, who had discovered that the Council in charge of the Time Agency had used Javic as a disposable agent to commit assassinations and basically manipulate the timelines on their behalf. With the aid of his future self, Javic confronted the Council in the pocket universe they used to protect themselves from changes in reality, a beacon provided by his future self, allowing Javic to draw in the pan-dimensional Harvesters to devour the Council. Javic erased his memory of the Council’s death and his meeting with his future self, but this left him still aware that his memory had been tampered with and he had lost two years of his life. Uncomfortable at the thought of what he might have done in those two years, Javic acquired a timeship under unspecified circumstances and became a time-travelling conman A particularly common scam was for Javic to set up a situation where he pretended to be willing to sell other time travellers a valuable alien artefact that was in reality worthless, fully aware that an event in the future would destroy the artefact after he received some of his money but before anyone learned what it really was while also taking care that nobody would be hurt by the artefact’s presence. Eventually arriving on Earth in 1941, Javic assumed the identity of the recently deceased American officer Captain Jack Harkness, arranging for a Chula medical frigate to crash in a location where he knew it would be destroyed by a bomb in a few days with the intention of claiming that it was really a Chula warship. However, the plan went wrong from the beginning; not only did the Ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler respond to Jack’s signal before anyone else could, but the Chula ship released medical nanites that began to mutate everyone they infected into zombie-like superhumans due to their lack of experience with human physiology. Inspired by The Doctor’s refusal to admit defeat and his resolve to save those infected by the nanites, Jack helped to dispose of the bomb that would have destroyed the Chula ship to give The Doctor time to reprogram the nanites, Rose subsequently inviting Jack to join her and The Doctor in the TARDIS ("The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances").

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances
Although his time in the TARDIS was only brief, Jack quickly developed a good relationship with his fellow travellers, The Doctor and Rose trusting him despite his background, Jack helping them deal with such varied problems as tracking down a renegade Slitheen ("Boom Town"). Although his attitude as an incorrigible flirt remained, Jack also demonstrated a strong compassion that went beyond a desire for sexual pleasure. He once spent a month in 2006 to help educate a caveman who had become trapped in that time on how to make a life for himself while The Doctor and Rose halted the time experiments that had caused the caveman’s predicament ("Only Human"). Despite their bond, Jack was eventually parted from The Doctor and Rose during the Dalek assault on Satellite Five in 200 100, Jack being exterminated while buying The Doctor time to construct a weapon that could defeat the Daleks… only to wake up a few moments later, just in time to witness the TARDIS depart the satellite without him, leaving him the only living being on the satellite ("Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways"). Assuming he had simply blacked out and been overlooked by the Daleks, Jack spent the next year in isolation on Earth out of fear of dying again, but a request for aid by journalist Silo Crook led to Jack exposing how the poor of Earth were being used as organ banks for the rich, simultaneously helping Jack overcome his fear of death as he helped the latest would-be victims escape ("The Year After I Died"). Although he did some work to help Earth rebuild, Jack eventually managed to get his vortex manipulator working long enough to go back in time, hoping to reunite with The Doctor on the Cardiff rift, a rift in time and space that The Doctor could use as fuel for the TARDIS. Unfortunately for Jack, the manipulator overshot and he arrived in 1869, leaving him with no other option but to wait on Earth until he encountered a Doctor who coincided with his timeline.

Eventually, a bar fight on Ellis Island led to Jack being fatally stabbed, which revealed to him that he hadn’t simply been lucky during his confrontation with the Daleks. In reality the Daleks had killed him in the confrontation on Satellite Five, but when Rose absorbed the power of the Time Vortex to stop the Daleks, she simultaneously used that power to bring Jack back to life. However, unused to the scale of power she was wielding, Rose not only brought back from the dead, but brought him back forever, transforming him into a ‘fact’ of the timeline, prompting The Doctor to depart without him as his Time Lord senses regard Jack as automatically ‘wrong’. To date, Jack’s immortality has only been shown to be limited regarding how rapidly he comes back from various forms of death, even if nothing used against him so far has managed to kill him permanently. A bullet to the head merely put Jack down for a few seconds, he required at least a few minutes to heal after being shot multiple times or thrown off the roof of a multi-storey office building, it took the better part of a day for his body to restore itself after he was killed when a bomb was planted in his stomach - although the fact that he regrew himself from an arm, a shoulder, and part of his head is unquestionably impressive -, and he remained dead for several days after sacrificing himself to ‘overfeed’ a life-draining demon called Abaddon.

Boom Town
Boom Town
By around 1899, Jack, having spent the last few years simply hanging around Cardiff waiting to meet The Doctor due to his knowledge that the Time Lord would have to refuel at the Cardiff Rift, was forcibly recruited by the ruthless Torchwood, an organisation formed by Queen Victoria to deal with alien incursions and preserve the ‘glory’ of the British Empire. Despite his distaste for their ruthless methods of dealing with aliens - shooting any alien they discovered simply because they were alien rather than waiting to find out if they legitimately posed a threat -, Jack decided to remain with them after he learned from a conversation with a mysterious psychic little girl that it would take a century before he met The Doctor again, hoping that he could do some good during his time with the organisation. During the next century, Jack spent most of his time doing Torchwood’s ‘dirty work’, including being involved in a deal in 1965 where he gave twelve children to an alien race known only as ‘the 456’ (After the frequency they used to communicate) in exchange for a vaccine for a deadly virus. On another occasion, he spent some time in New York tracking agents of the Trickster’s Brigade in 1927, forming a relationship with Italian immigrant Angelo Colasanto, but the relationship fell apart when Angelo’s discovery of Jack’s immortality caused him to denounce Jack as the Devil in a fit of panic, resulting in Jack being repeatedly murdered by the neighbourhood residents and apparently sold to three men before Angelo had a change of heart and released him ("Immortal Sins"). One independent survey mission of an unusual fissure in Peru in 1930 resulted in Jack being abducted by a lost Incan tribe who attempted to sacrifice him as part of an ancient prophecy, but he managed to escape before they could complete the ritual ("Exodus Code"). However, he also formed various good relationships with others during his time in the organisation; he even married fellow Torchwood agent Lucia Moretti in 1975, the two having a daughter who they named Melissa, although the marriage eventually ended with Melissa’s name being changed to Alice Sangester, believed to be the result of her mother’s fear of Jack’s immortality (Which Alice had not inherited).

Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways
Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways
By the beginning of the twenty-first century, Jack was left in control of Torchwood Three - the Cardiff branch of the organisation that had been established to monitor the Rift - when the organisation’s leader killed himself and his team on New Year’s Eve 1999 after witnessing a horrific vision of the future due to exposure to an alien pendant, believing that they were ill-prepared for the challenges the future would present. Now with superior authority, Jack recruited his own small team to protect Earth his way, rescuing ex-UNIT scientist Toshiko Sato from prison after she was blackmailed into developing a sonic modulator device to sell to Russian terrorists to save her mother - Jack noting that she had successfully completed the device despite the fact that the plans she’d acquired were wrong and couldn’t actually create a working modulator - to serve as his technical expert, later recruiting Doctor Owen Harper as the team medic after his fiancé was killed by an alien parasite in her brain ("Fragments"). Following the destruction of Torchwood One in London during the Dalek/Cyberman war in the Battle of Canary Wharf ("Army of Ghosts/Doomsday"), Jack vowed to rebuild Torchwood in The Doctor’s honour, allowing ex-Torchwood One employee Ianto Jones to join his team only after Ianto helped him capture a pterodactyl that had been trapped in the present ("Fragments").

Although Jack’s attitude towards life at this point was originally based simply on the premise of keeping alien activity secret, following policewoman Gwen Cooper’s discovery of Torchwood’s existence, as well as the subsequent suicide of Jack’s former second-in-command Suzie Costello after she was discovered committing murders to try and perfect her control of an alien gauntlet that could bring people back from the dead for a couple of minutes, he was convinced to start using the technology salvaged from Torchwood to help the innocent beyond simply containing aliens ("Everything Changes"). During this time, despite such problems as the discovery that Ianto had joined Torchwood Three in order to gain access to technology to help his girlfriend Lisa after she was partially converted into a Cyberman ("Cyberwoman"), and Suzie’s temporary resurrection when they discovered a man committing murders due to his previous association with her ("They Keep Killing Suzie"), Jack generally displayed a good bond with his team, although Gwen was the only one aware of his immortality (And she only learned of it due to her witnessing him come back after Suzie shot him), he and Tosh sharing a particular bonding moment when they travelled back in time to 1941 due to a Rift anomaly and encountered the original Captain Jack Harkness before his death ("Captain Jack Harkness").

Utopia
Utopia
Following a dramatic confrontation with the demonic Abaddon - apparently connected to The Beast ("The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit") in some manner -, Jack was finally reunited with The Doctor, now in his tenth incarnation and travelling with Martha Jones, although they ended up on the planet Malcassaro near the end of the universe due to the TARDIS’s attempts to shake Jack off due to his status as a ‘fact’ ("Utopia"). Although the three were able to help the humans on Malcassaro depart the planet, they were forced into a new, more desperate battle when Martha accidentally ‘awoke’ The Doctor’s old enemy The Master - disguised as the kindly Professor Yana using a Chameleon Arch -, The Master returning to Earth and regenerating into a new, younger body that he used to become elected Prime Minister under the pseudonym Harold Saxon. Although The Master was able to conquer Earth, keeping The Doctor and Jack prisoner for the following year while Martha travelled the world, Martha and The Doctor were eventually able to undo The Master’s reign, Jack deciding to remain with his team at Torchwood as he concluded that he belonged with them ("The Sound of Drums/Last of the Time Lords").

The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
The Stolen Earth/Journey's End
Reunited with his team, Jack resumed his defence of Earth, even beginning a more official relationship with teammate Ianto Jones, while simultaneously facing more personal problems in the form of his former Time Agency partner Captain John Hart ("Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang"), as well as a confrontation with Bilis Manger, Abaddon’s ‘servant’, who revealed that Abaddon had actually been required to defeat an alien intelligence known as the ‘Dark’, although Jack still defended his decision to defeat Abaddon and stop the loss of innocent life while helping Manger stop the Dark in Abaddon’s absence ("The Twilight Streets"). A particularly difficult adventure during this time featured a reunion with Martha Jones that resulted in the death and resurrection of Owen Harper while investigating the medical facility known as the Pharm ("Reset"), resulting in Owen coming back to life in a ‘living dead’ state, capable of independent motion and thought while being physically deceased and unable to heal from injuries such as a broken hand ("Dead Man Walking"). Although the team attempted to cope with Owen’s new state during such problems as a raid on the house of a man who collected alien artefacts ("A Day in the Death") or Gwen being impregnated by an alien flesh-eater on her wedding day ("Something Borrowed"), the return of Captain John Hart changed everything when he revealed that he had discovered Gray, Jack only learning afterwards that Gray’s lifetime as a prisoner of the aliens who captured him had turned him into a complete psychopath. Determined to have revenge for his brother ‘abandoning’ him, Gray forced John Hart to take Jack back to 27 A.D. and bury him in the area that would become Cardiff, subsequently returning to the present and killing Tosh while triggering an overload in a nuclear power plant while Owen was trying to shut it down, the radiation released by the plant apparently causing Owen’s body to dissolve. Fortunately, Jack was discovered by Torchwood in 1900 and frozen in cryogenic stasis to emerge in the present and preserve the timeline, chloroforming Gray in the hope of helping him in the future ("Exit Wounds").

The End of Time
The End of Time
Despite their more limited resources, Jack, Gwen and Ianto continued their work in Cardiff; not only did they play a vital role in thwarting the Daleks’ theft of Earth when The Doctor used the Rift to ‘tow’ Earth back to its proper place in the universe ("The Stolen Earth/Journey's End"), but they also confronted such other threats as the return of the Torchwood Assessor - a woman kept in cryogenic suspension unless Torchwood activities risked endangering innocents on a large scale - ("Risk Assessment") or a race of aliens who fed on temporal paradoxes caused by Jack’s impact on the residents of a house he had lived in during the early 1900s, Jack defeating this threat by using the temporal rifts they were creating to delay the house’s original construction so that he bought a different house, thus causing the aliens to feed on themselves as the reason for their interest in the house ceased to apply and they became the strongest paradox in the area ("The House That Jack Built"). However, the team faced their greatest threat when the 456 returned to Earth, now demanding ten percent of Earth’s children or they would destroy the world, seeking to use the children as drugs by absorbing certain chemicals from their bodies. Despite Jack’s best efforts to stand against the 456 even after the government tried to kill him to conceal their role in the 456’s presence, the subsequent confrontation not only resulted in the death of Ianto Jones when the 456 poisoned the atmosphere of the building he and Jack were in when Jack attempted to force the 456 to stand down, but also resulted in the death of Jack’s grandson, Steven Carter, when Jack was forced to use Steven to transmit a signal on a frequency that would damage the 456. Although his plan saved the children of Earth, Jack departed Earth a few months later after a last meeting with surviving teammate Gwen Cooper, unable to cope with his grief ("Children of Earth"). While absent from Earth, Jack was briefly seen drinking in an alien bar when the on-the-verge-of-regenerating Tenth Doctor left Jack a note pointing him towards a potential partner, Jack giving The Doctor a last salute before The Doctor left ("The End of Time").

Jack eventually returned to Earth following the mysterious ‘Miracle Day’, when every human being on Earth suddenly became incapable of dying - although they could still do everything else, such as getting old, sick, or mortally injured, even if they wouldn’t actually die of their conditions - at the same moment as an e-mail was sent to every intelligence agency on the planet with the word ‘Torchwood’ as its only content. While investigating the e-mail, Jack sustained a wound to his arm that didn’t heal despite his usual enhanced healing, prompting him to speculate that whatever had made humanity unable to die had also rendered him mortal. Reuniting with Gwen and Rhys as their house was attacked, Jack and Gwen were extradited to the United States by CIA agent Rex Matheson to better investigate ‘Miracle Day’ while Rhys remained in the UK with his and Gwen’s daughter Anwen, quickly learning that they were dealing with a conspiracy. While investigating the Miracle, Jack’s new team - consisting of Jack, Gwen, Rex, and Rex’s assistant Esther - discovered evidence that suggested that PhiCorp, a major pharmaceutical company, had been preparing for Miracle Day by stocking up painkillers and other drugs in a dimensionally transcendental warehouse, followed by the discovery that ‘concentration camps’ were being established for patients to cope with the NHS overflow, with patients suffering from essentially ‘fatal’ injuries - such as serious brain damage or comas - being incinerated to stop them draining resources. Shortly after the camps were created, Jack learned that Angelo Colisanto had been involved in the original plans for the Miracle as the three families who had ‘bought’ Jack used his blood and ‘the Blessing’, a rift going through the planet linked to the human race’s morphic field, to ‘disperse’ immortality across the planet by introducing Jack’s blood to the Blessing, causing the morphic field to change the human race in response to the perceived ‘attack’ from Jack’s immortal blood. The Three Families intended to use immortality to force the world’s economy to collapse and rebuild a new society under their control, cutting out anything that they perceived didn’t work, sending the e-mail to draw Jack back to eliminate him before he could introduce his mortal blood to the Blessing and restore mortality to the planet. With Rex having been given a complete transfusion of Jack’s blood to keep their supply safe, he and Jack introduced their blood to the Blessing at each end by allowing Gwen to shoot Jack in the heart while Rex opened a wound he had sustained on Miracle Day, the blood causing the Blessing to reset humanity to its mortal state, restoring Jack’s immortality in the process (Although Rex apparently also became immortal due to Jack’s blood being in his system at the time). Following this, Jack returned to his nomadic lifestyle, but returned to Earth once more when mysterious seismic activity caused various women to suffer mental breakdowns, Jack determining that a Helix Intelligence that dwelt within Earth had become ‘confused’ when it sensed his fifty-first century blood during his near-sacrifice in 1930 and now believed that Earth was ‘scheduled’ to die. After he tracked the disturbances back to Peru, Jack returned to the mountain where he had nearly been sacrificed to complete the ritual - having realised that the sacrifice was actually required to restore balance to the world - an old woman and a holographic A.I. created to duplicate Gwen's physiology exactly serving as the other two elements of the ritual (Although Jack then had to spend several days digging himself out of the resulting pit).

Fugitive of the Judoon
Fugitive of the Judoon
Jack eventually returned to Torchwood with Gwen on a full-time basis, but Gwen left the organisation after a traumatic chain of events where she was possessed by an entity that went so far as to kill Gwen's mother to maintain its own cover. Coupled with the appearance of an alternate version of Yvonne Hartman and a period where Jack was forced to work with a terrorist group to stop an alien invasion that was infiltrating Torchwood, Jack's reputation with Torchwood suffered several significant blows, although he was eventually able to prove himself when he helped stop the invasion of Earth by the powerful Sorvix. Eventually forced to go on the run again when an ancient entity that termed itself 'God' nearly destroyed the world before its power was drained, Jack eventually acquired an advanced alien spaceship and learned information about the 'Lone Cyberman', a dangerous entity that was seeking control of the Cyberium, a collection of Cyber-knowledge sent back from the far future to keep it away from the Cybermen ("Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children"). Jack attempted to make contact with The Doctor to warn his old friend about the Lone Cyberman ("Fugitive of the Judoon"), but he was unaware that The Doctor had recently regenerated into a female incarnation, with the result that Jack first teleported up The Doctor's companion Graham O'Brien (as an older human male who showed signs of time travel) and then grabbed The Doctor's other companions Ryan Sinclair and Yasmin Khan after Graham established that The Doctor was now female. When his stolen ship's defences began to attack him, Jack was forced to teleport the companions to safety and flee from Earth before he could talk with The Doctor directly.

Revolution of the Daleks
Revolution of the Daleks
Later, when The Doctor was trapped in a Judoon prison for the actions of an unknown past version of herself ("Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children"), Jack learned what had happened to her and spent nineteen years committing the right crimes to get sent to the prison cell next to hers. Using a temporal freeze and gateway disinhibitor bubble, Jack was able to freeze time and extract The Doctor from the exercise yard, taking her back to a cell where he had hidden a vortex manipulator that took them directly back to the TARDIS. The Doctor subsequently took the ship back to Earth, but a few slipped temporal coordinates meant that the TARDIS arrived back ten months later when The Doctor had intended to return to her companions just after leaving them, where they revealed that their old acquaintance Jack Robertson ("Arachnids in the UK") had been tricked into creating a Dalek army using samples taken from a Dalek casing that The Doctor had previously destroyed ("Resolution"). Jack joined Yaz in investigating the plant where Robertson's facilities were unknowingly creating Dalek mutants (offering Yaz some insight into how life with The Doctor changed everything for old companions) while The Doctor, Graham and Ryan confronted Robertson himself, soon learning that Robertson genuinely didn't know the truth about the drones. As the Dalek mutants were transported into their casings, The Doctor was forced to summon a Dalek Death Squad, a group of Daleks particularly committed to Dalek purity that would destroy Robertson's Daleks as impure. As the Death Squad destroyed Robertson's Daleks, Jack, Graham and Ryan were able to teleport on board the Death Squad's ship and plant explosives all around it, detonating the ship while The Doctor used another TARDIS to destroy the Death Squad Daleks on Earth. With the Dalek threat defeated, Jack decided that now was a good time to stay on Earth and catch up with Gwen Cooper, who had apparently defeated at least one of Robertson's Daleks with boxing gloves and her son's baseball bat.

The Face of Boe (The End of the World)
The Face of Boe (The End of the World)
Although Jack's future is uncertain, particularly with Rex's own immortality taken into account, a comment he made about his nickname from his time as the Time Agency's poster-boy, 'The Face of Boe' - due to him being their first recruit from the Boeshine Peninsula - has prompted speculation that he will become the enigmatic ‘Face of Boe’ by the year five billion, a mysterious giant head who encountered the Ninth and Tenth Doctors in "The End of the World" and "New Earth". If the Face and Jack are the same person, Jack will finally die in "Gridlock" in the equivalent of the year 5 000 000 000 043, after helping the Tenth Doctor save the last of the human race by sacrificing his energy to release the survivors from a contained motorway that he had sealed them in to protect them from a lethal airborne virus, his last words being to inform The Doctor that he was not the last of his kind (Foreshadowing The Doctor’s later encounter with The Master ("Utopia"))

The Face of Boe (Gridlock)
Although Jack has had many memorable moments in both Doctor Who and Torchwood - ranging from his original resurrection by Rose Tyler ("Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways") to his dramatic, emotional confrontation with his brother Gray ("Exit Wounds") -, his most memorable moment is unquestionably the conclusion of "Children of Earth", when he was forced to sacrifice his own grandson Steven to save the world’s children from the 456 after being forced to accept that he had literally no other choice.

As the Face of Boe - if that truly is his future -, Jack’s most memorable moment was his last; as he lay dying, the Face fulfilled an ancient prophecy that he would share his great secret with one like himself in his last moments, using his final words to inform The Doctor ‘You are not alone’ ("Gridlock"), later revealed to be a reference to The Master ("Utopia").
